  1. 6 runs

    Eng 316-5

    13 needed from 21 balls

    Back to back blows!

    Joseph strays onto the pads again and Livingstone fires a flat six over the fine leg ropes.

    End in sight.

  2. 6 runs

    Eng 310-5

    19 needed from 22 balls

    Almost nonchalant!

    Livingstone really gets hold of Joseph, hitting him for six over square leg with a wristy shot off his pads.

  3. Eng 303-5

    26 needed from 24 balls

    Mousley gets his innings under way by knocking a single off his pads.

    He'll be wanting to give his captain plenty of the strike.

  4. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Curran will be annoyed to have thrown it away but he played the perfect hand in a terrific partnership with Livingstone. The benefit of experience?

    Tattz in Harborne: Captain Livingstone, we presume? This is an excellent innings which is a real statement from both England and the new skipper.

    WICKET

    Curran c Hetmyer b Forde 52 (Eng 300-5)

    But Curran departs from the follow delivery!

    He cuts Forde uppishly but it's a slower ball and it flies to Shimron Hetmyer on the cover boundary.

    A run-a-ball 52 for the all-rounder who's mostly been spectating the Liam Livingstone show in the last few overs - he was on 41 from 41 when his skipper passed 50, now he's on 100.

    Time for Dan Mousley, in his second ODI - can he finish the job?

  7. Jason Holder
    West Indies all-rounder on TNT Sports

    We need a miracle at this stage, England are easily in the ascendency. The inexperience has shown, and the trump card of Motie has not been effective.

  8. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on TNT Sports

    He hasn't quite finished the job but this is outstanding batting. I love how he has gone up and down the gears, he started frenetically but after that it has been a masterclass. He has played within himself, and that's a sign of the talent he has.

  9. 100 runs

    100 for Livingstone

    Eng 300-4

    100 up, 300 up!

    Livingstone knocks Forde down the ground for a single and that's his first ODI hundred off 77 balls.

    A remarkable acceleration by the England skipper, his half-century came off 60 deliveries.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    This has been a spectacular change of gears by Livingstone. Seales has no idea where to bowl at him and he’s now got his highest ODI score. This is the value of taking it deep. England have an abundance of players who can clear the boundaries. 50-over cricket rewards the ones who build a platform before swinging for the hills.

  11. Eng 298-4

    31 needed from 30 balls

    Seales sends down his second wide of the over.

    He follows that up with a legitimate delivery that Livingstone cracks past the deep mid-wicket boundary fielder for a one-bounce four - a little too close to comfort, but safe.

    He finishes with a two down the ground to move to 99.

    26 from this over, 24 of them Livingstone's, and England are within sight of victory.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 291-4

    Livingstone punishes Seales!

    Successive sixes for the England captain, both cracked over the cover boundary and onto the grass bank.

    He's raced to 93 from 74, having scored 48 from 59 - two fours and five sixes since then.

  13. Eng 279-4

    Four more for Livingstone, driving Seales uppishly through a gap in the covers after the West Indies seamer opened the over with a massive wide.

    A hack brings a further two through a vacant cordon and England need 50.

  14. Eng 272-4

    57 needed from 36 balls

    Just a couple more singles from the rest of the over.

    Six overs to go.

  15. 50 for Sam Curran

    Eng 269-4

    Shamar Joseph returns in place of Chase.

    Curran knocks his second ball down to long-on for a single, bringing up his half-century from 49 balls.

    It's his second ODI fifty.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    That Motie over has tipped the scales in England’s favour. The virtue of taking it deep, appreciating that 50 overs is really rather a lot of overs is reaping dividends for England’s two most experienced batters.

  17. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    LivingstoneGetty Images

    Of all players to play 30+ ODIs, the only batters with a better average AND a better strike rate than Liam Livingstone are Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen, Glenn Maxwell, and Imad Wasim.

  18. England nudge ahead on WinViz for the first time in this innings...

  19. 6 runs

    Eng 266-4

    63 needed from 42 balls

    A copy and paste six!

    Same again from Livingstone, dropping to his knee to lift Motie to mid-wicket ropes, wracking up successive sixes and bringing up the hundred partnership.

    He follows that with a single behind square to retain the strike - 16 from that over, 13 of them the England skipper's.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 259-4

    Livingstone goes for Motie again, dumping the spinner over the leg side boundary.

    The players take a break while Evin Lewis receives some treatment, then limps off round the boundary.
