  1. How's stat?!

    LewisGetty Images

    That was the third six of West Indies' innings in the ninth over. England managed two in the whole of their innings.

  2. 6 runs

    WI 41-0

    Dispatched!

    This time it's Archer to get the Lewis treatment, lofted over long-on and thudding into the advertising hoarding.

    A mighty blow.

  3. WI 33-0

    Turner comes back well, rapping Lewis on the pads and then sending another brisk delivery scudding past the edge of King's bat.

  4. Mark Butcher

    John Turner has got to be so pinpoint with his length, especially as he bowls with a chest-on action. Evin Lewis just helped that on its way to the boundary.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 31-0

    There goes Lewis again!

    He hits John Turner for a second six over long-on, lifting the ball off his legs.

    That'll be a relief after England had built some pressure.

    Archer’s turn to bowl a luckless over. His second maiden. This has been a very impressive start from England’s opening bowlers but the worry for Livingstone is that they have no wickets to show for it.

  7. WI 24-0

    A second maiden for Archer - this time it's Evin Lewis that has to work his way through the over.

    There's not much he can about Archer's third delivery, a yorker that moves away from the left-hander, beating everything - just.

    England's opening bowlers have impressed here, and will consider themselves unfortunate not to have picked up a wicket.

  8. Daniel Norcross

    Brandon King was all at sea in that Turner over. Stuck on the crease and poking helplessly at (luckily for him) thin air.

  9. WI 24-0

    A tidy line from John Turner, with England's debutant seamer send a ball whistling down an off stump channel and just beating the edge of Brandon King's bat.

    A couple of singles close the over.

  10. How's stat?!

    Only one score lower than England's has been defended in an ODI at North Sound. That came in 2017 when West Indies made 189-9 against India then bowled their opponents out for 178.

  11. WI 22-0

    Ah, King gets a four with a proper shot, flicking Archer away for four behind square.

    Tucked away, with such a low target that's all the West Indies need to do.

  12. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Turner had Lewis in trouble a few times in that over with the full ball angling across the left-hander but ruined it with a short ball to finish which Lewis despatched with ease. 'Don’t bowl there, son’ as Ian Bell famously said.

  13. 6 runs

    WI 17-0

    There's the solid connection from Evin Lewis!

    The West Indies mistimed a lifted leg side shot earlier in the over, seeing the ball plug in the outfield, but he really got hold of Turner's final delivery, sending it for six over square leg.

    The required run-rate at the start of the innings was 4.2, the West Indies are going at just a tickle over that from their first four overs.

  14. How stat?!

    This is only the fifth time this century that England have selected four or more debutants in an ODI.

    Two of those were matches against Ireland, in 2023 and 2015, while another was in a Covid-affected series against Pakistan in 2021.

    The other match was the first of a five-game series against Zimbabwe in October 2001, where Jeremy Snape, James Foster, Matthew Hoggard and James Kirtley all made their ODI bows.

    All three bowlers took two wickets, while Foster stumped a pair of batters off Snape's bowling as England won the game by five wickets.

  15. Daniel Norcross
    Test Match Special commentator

    Lively start from Archer and Turner. Both generating good pace and late movement.

  16. WI 9-0

    King continues to struggle, enduring a Jofra Archer maiden where a couple of balls rose up on him a tad.

    The opener's on six from 13 deliveries.

  17. Who is John Turner?

    Tally, wiry fast bowler John Turner has a lot to live upto, after being labelled as England's answer to Australia great Glenn McGrath.

    The 23-year-old was born in Johannesburg but officially qualified for England in the summer.

    He has only played five first-class matches for Hampshire and this is just his 18th List A match, but he is highly regarded in the England set-up.

    He averages less than 20 in all three formats. This guy could be special...

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

    John Turner has had to wait a long time. He's the type of bowler that when you face him in county cricket he makes you stand up and take notice. He hits the pitch hard and has good variations.

  19. WI 9-0

    Brandon King can't seem to get decent contact in these first couple of overs.

    He inside-edges the following delivery into the leg side for a single.

  20. WI 8-0

    Outside edge... and four!

    Brandon King sends another knick flying to the boundary - England have one slip in, had there been a second they might just have been in play.
