  1. rain stops play

    Rain stops playpublished at 00:05 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November

    And that will be that for the time being at least.

    The rain has started coming down heavily and the groundstaff are rushing onto the field with plastic sheeting.

    Should we resume, we'll have lost overs and DLS will come into play.

    It's a guess, but I reckon the West Indies might just be ahead of the rate?

  2. How's stat?!published at 00:04 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November

    Evin Lewis is now on 2000 ODI runs at an average of 40. He's enjoying a purple patch at the moment, averaging 71.3 in his last 10 innings. His last knock, earlier this week, was 102 not out off 61 balls against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. Ominous.

    Not a great review, but you can understand why. A combination of desperation and disbelief that Brandon King is still there.

  4. Not outpublished at 15 overs

    WI 81-0

    Nothing on snicko, but ball tracking has impact outside the line - King survives and England lose a review.

    The West Indies opener follows up by turning Rashid's final ball square for a single.

  5. Umpire reviewpublished at 14.5 overs

    Time for Liam Livingstone to make his first call as England captain - Adil Rashid is confident he has Brandon King out lbw.

    The stand-in skipper chooses to go upstairs.

    That’s been a great 50 by Evin Lewis. Tested early on by the new ball, he’s not been phased by those plays and misses and leading edges. When the right ball has turned up he’s sent it hurtling into the crowd. Where has he been the last three years?

  7. Fifty for Evin Lewispublished at 14 overs

    WI 77-0

    There's the half-century for Evin Lewis!

    He turns Curran away for a first four through fine leg, then brings up the landmark with a pushed single.

    It comes up off 46 deliveries and featured five sixes and that one four.

    A good game of cat and mouse between Evin Lewis and Adil Rashid. That six was not completely controlled by Lewis.

  10. 6 runs

    WI 71-0published at 13 overs

    And the bombardment does continue!

    Lewis doesn't even hit this cleanly, shimmying down the pitch and having his hand come off the bat in the follow through, but he gets enough on Rashid's penultimate delivery to beat Will Jacks on the ropes at long-on.

    The opener finishes the over with two more down to deep third, that takes him to 45 from 42.

    Not quite sure how Archer and Turner didn’t find the edge once in that powerplay. They bowled splendidly in tandem but the West Indian openers weathered the storm and it should be much plainer sailing from here on in.

  12. WI 61-0published at 12 overs

    Lewis takes a single to square leg from Curran's final delivery and will look to continue his bombardment from the other end.

    He's now struck four sixes in this innings, but is yet to hit a four.

  13. 6 runs

    WI 60-0published at 11.4 overs

    That's gone miles!

    England make changes at both ends with Sam Curran coming into the attack, and Evan Lewis greets him with a gigantic pulled six over mid-wicket.

    The ball disappears somewhere in the grass bank but eventually makes it back into the middle.

  14. WI 54-0published at 11 overs

    Adil Rashid exudes calm borne of experience - he has 140 caps in this format, the rest of the line-up have 127 put together.

    The West Indies openers push him around for five singles, the first of those bringing up their half century off 61 deliveries.

  16. WI 49-0published at 10 overs

    The West Indies don't quite reach fifty from the powerplay, taking three from the final over, including two wides from Turner.

    England were 46-1 at this stage.

    Back go the fielders, and here comes Adil Rashid.

    England have been unlucky here - according to Cricviz's expected score metric, West Indies should be 39-2...

  18. WI 46-0published at 9 overs

    Brandon King goes for a different approach.

    Having seen his colleague hammer England's bowlers over the ropes, he unfurls a beautiful cover drive to send Archer's final delivery whistling to the boundary.

    13 off Archer's fifth over, having conceded eight from his first four.

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

    WI 41-0published at 8.3 overs

    Dispatched!

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

    A mighty blow.
