  1. Eng 21-0

    Akeal Hosein continues with the ball.

    But a short delivery from the left-arm spinner allows Ben Duckett the luxury of time to hammer it to the boundary through mid-wicket.

  2. Eng 16-0

    'Good show of intent' - Smith smashes Holder over mid-on for four

    Medium pacer Jason Holder takes the ball at the other end for West Indies.

    Jamie Smith runs a double towards cover before back-to-back singles.

    The England opener then gets his first boundary of the day, slashing one over the fielder at mid-on - one bounce over the rope.

    Akeal Hosein has a delivery that's an arm ball that spears in quite late. He's a very skilful bowler.

  4. Eng 7-0

    Duckett's 'lovely' reverse sweep leads to first boundary of England innings

    Akeal Hosein has extracted good turn and bounce off this pitch so far.

    He puts in a good effort before Ben Duckett decides to reverse sweep him for the first boundary of the innings off the last ball.

  6. How's stat?!

    England have lost their last three T20Is down in Southampton, all by relatively heavy margins too, losing to India by 50 runs, South Africa by 90 runs and Australia by 28 runs.

    With all three defeats coming while chasing, losing the toss and being put into bat could be a blessing in disguise for Harry Brook's side.

  7. England are unchanged and it's the combination of Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett, who will open the batting for them again here.

    A good crowd is in place in Southampton and Akeal Hosein will start with the ball for West Indies.

    For the West Indies, you're always playing for your place. You want to etch in your coach and captain's mind that you can perform. And then it's personal pride - there is form for many, it's just putting into a match-winning performance. Players who play for their country should have that internal pride.

    The young pros like Jacob Bethell are making their name. Jos Buttler has brought himself back to the party in a really rejuvenated way. So Harry Brook has got experience, but he's got the excitement of players coming through. I like that he's gone unchanged today, I think he's trying to get the job done once, then they can start experimenting.

    Can England do the 'double' and follow up their 3-0 series win over the West Indies in the ODIs with the same scoreline in the T20 international series?

    "We need to get used to winning. People say winning is a habit and if that's something we can get going with the World Cup coming up next year, it will be good. We've got a couple of good series coming up. We need to keep on motoring the way we have and and try and have that dominant performance."
