  1. But while West Indies' bowlers had an afternoon to forget, in the field, their catching was outstanding.

    King grabs 'absolute rocket' from Smith to take first England wicket

    Chase dismisses Duckett for 60 with 'a stunner of a catch'

  2. There was plenty of carnage at Edgbaston.

    England's batters struck 39 fours and 11 sixes, with Jacob Bethell (eight fours, five sixes) leading the way.

    'Absolute carnage' - England hit five boundaries off Forde over

    Bethell hits six to take England to 300

    'He's really smashed that!' - Bethell hits Forde over long on for six

  3. And then came Jacob Bethell...

    Bethell hits England's four half-century innings

  4. Joe Root and England captain Harry Brook also scored half-centuries, contributing 57 (65) and 58 (45), respectively.

    Brook becomes third batsman to reach half-century in England innings

  5. Ben Duckett was the first of four England players to pass fifty, bringing up his half-century off 34 balls.

    Duckett hits 10th ODI half-century in 34 balls

  6. Thanks Matt. To clarify, we do have more than one chair...

    Anyway, that was fun, wasn't it? A busy powerplay, a bit of a lull in the middle, and then a great innings from Jacob Bethell. It'll be a tough chase for West Indies.

  7. England have made their statement. Now it's about finishing the job.

    Elizabeth Botcherby is back in the chair to take you through a few highlights and the start of West Indies' chase.

    Were the spinners under-bowled? They bowled 13 overs for 80.

  9. 'Beautifully crisp connection' - Buttler hits Greaves for six towards long off

    That is the fourth time England have scored 400 in England and sixth time overall.

    It's only the second time they have done so since the 2019 World Cup. The other time was against the Netherlands in 2022.

    They have never lost an ODI when scoring 400, if you're wondering.

    'Carved away beautifully!' - Smith hits Seales for back-to-back fours

    It goes through the wicketkeeper, it's four byes and England will do it!

    An all-round batting performance. Contributions from everyone in top seven. The mood was set with a free-flowing powerplay.

    It felt right for England to end on 400. It looked inevitable with three overs to go.

  11. Interval - Eng 400-8

    Four byes to finish!

    England do get to 400 off the very last ball. Not a bad way to kickstart a new era, ey...

  12. Eng 396-8

    Good bowling. Again Jayden Seales concedes only a single.

    Big finish from Brydon?

  13. Eng 395-8

    Now all Carse can manage is a scampered single. 400 might not happen.

  14. Eng 394-8

    A wild swing and a miss from Carse...

    King grabs 'absolute rocket' from Smith to take first England wicket

    West Indies might be having a shocker at bowling but nearly every single catch has been top draw. So impressive.

    Catie

  16. Eng 394-8

    A dabbed single from Adil Rashid gives Brydon Carse the strike with four balls to go.

  17. Can Adil Rashid hit the ball in some unusual areas to get England to 400?

  18. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Bethell's gone! He's not going to get his 100. England might not get their 400. West Indies are coming back into this in the last couple of overs.

    Bethell's getting a big hand. He's very popular in these parts. It's been a super knock.

    It was clever bowling. A little tickle.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Bethell c Hope b Seales 82 (Eng 393-8)

    Well that ends that! Jacob Bethell nicks behind a slower, wider ball.

    There will be no century today but Bethell gets a huge ovation for a superb 82 from 53 balls.

  20. Jayden Seales will bowl the last. Bethell is on strike.
