    Jason Mohammed is a capable batsman, he's toiled away and done all the right things. That was the shot of somebody who has lost concentration but it's frustrating because he's done the hard graft.

    Jason Mohammed can't believe he's just done that. Neither can I, really. What a time to give your wicket away. Anyway, captain Jason Holder is the new man at the crease.

    Mohammed c Rashid b Plunkett 50 (WI 159-5)

    Ah, the drinks break strikes again. A decent length delivery from Plunkett and Jason Mohammed just very simply spoons it up into the air. It goes up high but Adil Rashid is safely under it.

    Liam Plunkett is going to have a bowl, as the drinks disappear from the field.

    The Mighty Mojo:  Can we stop talking about "the spinners" bowling poorly now? One is clearly doing better than the other....

    Mark: You only need to see how poorly India are playing against Aussies to see how poor our spinners are not threatening or containing

    And that'll be drinks. It's rather nicely poised, this, for the West Indies. It was Mohammed and Carter who played their shots in the first ODI, but they let their concentration slip after a drinks break.

    Carter 28, Mohammed 50

    Cheers, Kal. 

    Moeen drags it down short, and Jonathan Carter absolutely tonks him through mid-wicket for a boundary. That brings up the 150. Another superb shot, this time over cover, is cut off by Joe Root before it reaches the rope. In fact Carter's getting out all the shots from his locker, sweeping for two and giving Sam Billings a bit of a run around in the deep.

    50 for Mohammed - WI 149-4published at 35 overs

    He does it in style. Mohammed on the back foot, gets his eye in and swats Stokes for a maximum on the legside. Shot! 

  10. WI 142-4published at 34.3 overs

    Well that didn't take too long for him to recover, Stokes comes straight back into the attack. 

    Good batting from Carter but even better fielding from Billings who runs round the long-off boundary and pulls off a two-handed dive as he flicks the ball back onto the outfield.

    For a moment it looked like we may have another fielding injury but Billings is fine. He gets a nod and a clap from the bowler.

    Here's that horror drop from Ben Stokes.

    First he clutches it to his chest as he back pedals...

    Then the ball bursts out of his hands and ends up behind him...

    Stokes dives backwards, but to no avail, and ends in an inelegant position; head in hands, feet in the air, and presumably a very red face.

    England fans will be delighted with that news on Stokes - we will have to see if they risk him bowling again. He's back on the field now. 

    Moeen goes for six runs as the scoreboard ticks over.

  14. WI 130-4published at 33 overs

    Despite his two wickets, Finn's length has been a bit all over the place at times. A fullish ball is smacked through to long on by Carter for his first boundary of the innings. 

    Trumpets are in full force from the Windies crowd. I've also just seen a man dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow.

  16. WI 123-4published at 32 overs

    Moeen steams through yet another over. Carter looks to pull a shortish ball but it misses and it hits his midriff. Tight bowling from England, just the one from it.

    The West Indies have to consolidate. A good partnership is needed to get them to a reasonable total. If the West Indies can get the score to 260 - another 140 runs from 20 overs - it is gettable.

  18. WI 122-4published at 31 overs

    Finn runs in against the breeze for an uneventful over as the batsmen look to rebuild after that wicket. Just two from it.

    Moeen on third man boundary is strutting his stuff, he looks happy with his wicket.

    Jonathan Carter is the new man in. Just as the hosts started to look a bit more settled, Moeen strikes. Albeit a relatively easy stumping, that was sharp work from Buttler.
