Goodbye!published at 21:59 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
A clinical and fairly comfortable victory for England, then, although they did look a tad nervy when the West Indian batsmen started to tee off towards the end.
They take a 1-0 series lead in the series - and you can read the report from today's game here.
We'll be back on Sunday for the second ODI, which gets under way at 13:30 GMT, weather permitting. Thanks for keeping us company, and we'll see you in a couple of days' time.

'I've enjoyed my cricket since the Big Bash'published at 21:57 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
England captain Eoin Morgan: "I've enjoyed my cricket since the Big Bash. I got some runs there, enjoy that competition and transferred it to India and now here.
"What pleased me the most in today's game was that we produced everything we spoke about before the game. We have set a benchmark and have to continue on this upward curve."
Morgan added that Ben Stokes was fit to bowl but he chose to bowl the spinners instead.

Liam Plunkett was setting up batsmen. Come round the wicket, tie them up then bowl the short ball. Intelligent bowling from England.

'Very encouraging signs'published at 21:54 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
More from West Indies captain Holder: "If we tighten up in a few areas, limit our extras, hold our chances, I'm not too worried.
"With the batting, It was important for two of the batters to consolidate. I thought they (Mohammed & Carter) did it nicely. It was turning a bit as well.
"Very encouraging signs, we can see a lot of promise here. It's a matter of us putting together a strong game and going forward full of confidence."

Stokes is a really rounded cricketer now. Not only has he got the talent he can work around different cricketing conditions. He's showing he is really growing into that cricketer that he is.
'Soft dismissals cost us'published at 21:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
West Indies captain Justin Holder, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think we got off to a good start then we lost three wickets. I feel there were quite a few soft dismissals. All our chances - we could be a lot better.
"I thought Sam Billings played a very good innings. He took our spinners over the line. We dropped a few chances."
'Buttler couldn't find that flow'published at 21:49 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017

Buttler is someone we have grown to expect to come out in all conditions and deliver. He just couldn't find that flow today. Let's not forget this was a difficult wicket. Great to see he is still around, his glovework is terrific.
Bairstow has been knocking on the door for a long time but Buttler has got a bit of a run. The thing with him is that there is fear from the opposition, whether he is in form or not they will always fear him.

'Morgan really shone'published at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017

Morgan's ability to first be patient when he started and then he accelerated. For me it showed his ability as a leader. It's a days like today where he really shone and showed why he is leading this young crop of players.

'Credit to Sam Billings'published at 21:42 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017

Credit to Sam Billings, he's someone who has been around for a while and everyone is expecting him to get that opportunity but when he does, he comes in he grafts. A really good 50 from him today.

'Kudos to England'published at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017

West Indies did make a fight of it but the top order did not click and put pressure on the middle order. Losing by 45 runs, even if top order scored some runs they could have won this game.
Kudos to England they played well. They kept their compsure, never lost their focus and are the deserved winners.
Postpublished at 21:36 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
A tidy performance from England, and the West Indies will rue letting England get away this morning. Eoin Morgan was excellent, as was Ben Stokes, and Liam Plunkett and Chris Woakes end up with four wickets each.
WICKET - ENGLAND WIN BY 45 RUNSpublished at 21:35 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
Gabriel c Buttler b Plunkett (WI 251)
All over. Shannon Gabriel spoons Liam Plunkett up into the air, Jos Buttler takes the catch, and after a brief pause as they try to work out if he hit it - he did - Gabriel departs. England secure a comfy 45-run victory and take a 1-0 series lead.
WI 250-9published at 47 overs
Woakes 9-1-47-4
A slower delivery from Chris Woakes completely tricks Shannon Gabriel, who ends up thrusting his bat at fresh air. An excellent over from Woakes comes to an end. He recovered well from being tonked for six.
Postpublished at 21:30 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2017
Shannon Gabriel is the last man in. An average of 2.00 across nine ODI matches.

Nurse lbw b Woakes 21 (WI 250-9)
Front foot looks okay, there's no inside edge, and it's umpire's call on where the ball is hitting. Out. Off Ashley Nurse goes, looking thoroughly miffed with proceedings.

He's quite right to review it, he has one left so why not? It looked out straight away.

Ah. Ashley Nurse has been given out lbw to Chris Woakes, hit flush on the pad by a big, full delivery. He reviews it because, well, why not?
WI 250-8published at 46.2 overs
Shot! That's lovely from Ashley Nurse, straight back down the ground and flying over the boundary rope for six. Ooh, that went nicely, and Ben Stokes at long-on could only watch it fly over his head.
