  1. WI 127-1published at 20 overs

    Keacy Carty, the first Sint Maartener to play for the West Indies, must have a dinner reservation somewhere he needs to make.

    Three balls into his innings and he biffs Liam Livingstone straight down the ground. It looks like it has gone for six, but a TV replay shows it bounced just before the boundary sponge so four is awarded.

  2. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 19.1 overs

    King b Livingstone c Jacks 30 (118-1)

    A less-than-fluent innings from Brandon King is brought to an end.

    Having not been able to time a thing, King finally gets one out of the middle of the bat when he pulls Liam Livingstone to mid-wicket.

    But Will Jacks is lurking and he gobbles up the catch.

  3. 6 runs

    WI 118-0published at 19 overs

    Jacob Bethell's left-arm spin is brought into the attack on his ODI debut.

    Evin Lewis attempts to hit his fourth ball into next week, and ends up slicing it down to third for a couple.

    Lewis connects next ball, though, and clears the boundary down the ground and some.

  4. WI 106-0published at 18 overs

    Brandon King practically using this as a net, as he follows up that big-hitting from Evin Lewis and blocks out five balls of Liam Livingstone's over.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 104-0published at 17 overs

    Adil Rashid searches for a breakthrough, but ends up taking plenty of tap.

    Brandon King looks out of touch and even scratchier after the rain break, but Evin Lewis is positively brimming with confidence.

    Twice he goes deep in his crease and wallops Rashid square of the wicket for four before finishing the over by smashing a full toss for six over cow corner.

  7. WI 87-0published at 16 overs

    Bosh. Lewis pummels the final ball of Liam Livingstone's over through the covers for four.

    West Indies need 3.68 an over to win this one.

  8. King survivespublished at 15.2 overs

    The ball was deemed by the ball-tracking technology to have pitched outside the line. Brandon King survies.

  9. West Indies reviewpublished at 15.2 overs

    Brandon King is struck on the pad by Liam Livingstone. Given out on field, but the West Indies opener decides to review it.

    England nervously watch the big screen.

  10. WI 81-0published at 15 overs

    Right the players are back out in the middle. Liam Livingstone has the ball in hand.

    Speaking of franchise news...

    England white-ball captain Jos Buttler has not been retained by Rajasthan Royals for the 2025 Indian Premier League season.

    Buttler, 34, has been with Rajasthan since 2018 but they have opted not to keep him before the Mega Auction.

    Teams are allowed to retain up to six players from 2024, including five international capped players.

    No England players have been retained, meaning the likes of Phil Salt, Sam Curran - who commanded a then-IPL record £1.85m in 2023 - Liam Livingstone, Jonny Bairstow and Jofra Archer could be available in the auction.

    The covers are still on in North Sound and the rain is coming down. Because of an earlier delay due to the weather this will now be a reduced-overs game.

    Hampshire's John Turner has looked quite a handy prospect with the ball on his England debut.

    I must be honest, I wrote a piece on Turner a couple of years ago so have had an eye on him for a while now.

    One person I spoke in the course of writing the piece was current Lancashire coach Dale Benkenstein, who coached Turner at school in South Africa and compared him to Glenn McGrath no less.

    Thanks, Mike.

    Hopefully this rain clears up soon. The covers are still on in Antigua.

  20. Postpublished at 00:12 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November

    I'm reliably informed that the West Indies are 48 runs ahead on DLS, but we still need five more overs for a result to stand, so England could just get away with this.

    The West Indies openers frequently looked uncomfortable against Jofra Archer and John Turner, but are now well set - King has 23 from 42, while Lewis has 51 from 48.

    I'm handing you over to Timothy Abraham for whatever might unfold.
