    Incidentally, that was tremendous pun work from Lucas (1:40) prior to that wicket. Well done, sir.

  2. WI 15-1published at 3 overs

    Finn 2-0-13-1

    That's smart work from Finn, who tightened his line up there to turn Lewis around. Sam Billings had also plonked himself right into Lewis' eyeline and had already dived around twice to stop the drive. Kieran Powell is the new man, and he chucks his hands through a wide delivery to get off the mark with a boundary.

    Pretty good delivery - just pitches short of a length, held up a little on the track. Good catch in the end by Billings, he had to dive forward.

    Lewis c Billings b Finn 8 (WI 11-1)

    That's much better from Steven Finn. Short, into the body, Evin Lewis gets a leading edge and that's a decent snaffle from Sam Billings.

    Lucas Metcalfe: Kumar on sanga-karaoke. 

    Jacob Mannon: How about a rendition of truly, madly, deep mid wicket.  

    Sally Smith:  Mark Butcher was an accomplished guitar player as I recall.

  6. WI 11-0published at 2 overs

    Unsurprisingly it's Chris Woakes to kick off the second over. He's got Kraigg Brathwaite in his sights and it's a nice line from the England bowler. A touch of away swing, perhaps, and Brathwaite steers through the field for a couple. A tidy over.

    It was a good shot, the half volley was there for the taking and Lewis was never going to miss out. Finn is under pressure early. 

  8. WI 9-0published at 1 over

    Brathwaite 1, Lewis 8

    Finn charges in, hipster haircut flapping around. His radar is off, though; short and wide, and Evin Lewis cuts gloriously for four. That's an absolute gimme, and Finn follows it up with another wide delivery that Lewis drives for another boundary. Oops. Finn tightens his line, bowling into the body, and Lewis defends the rest of the over.

  9. 'Lack of sophistication to Windies batting'published at 13:30 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2017

    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    In the first game there were a couple of soft dismissals from West Indies; silly, thoughtless shots. There was a lack of sophistication in the way they batted.

    Kraigg Brathwaite and Evin Lewis are on the way to the middle, as the England fielders jog around them. Steven Finn has the ball in his hand.

  12. From bowling to basspublished at 13:23 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2017

    West Indies v England

    Not content with 405 Test wickets and frightening a number of poor batsmen over the years, Sir Curtly has added another bow to his string.

    He now plays bass with the band Spirited, alongside former Windies captain Richie Richardson.

    Here they are in action...

    Bizarrely for a game with exactly the same pitch as last time, it seems to have improved. It looks a very good strip.

    So, both sides are unchanged. They'll be using the same pitch as Friday, except this time there's been no rain to delay the start and slow the outfield down.

  18. 'Hales isn't far off being fit'published at 13:08 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2017

    England captain Eoin Morgan speaking at the toss:  "We are very happy, we actually would have bowled first.  

    "Alex Hales isn't far off being fit but not quite fit for this game. So another opportunity for Sam Billings to make some runs. 

    "It was a convincing performance last time, we had struggled getting a complete performance for about six months so were happy." 

  19. 'We want to tighten up'published at 13:06 Greenwich Mean Time 5 March 2017

    West Indies captain Jason Holder speaking at the toss:  "It seems a better wicket. We want to put runs on the board today. We played a decent game last time, we want to tighten up. 

    "We saw a lot of positives (from the last game), Carter  and Mohammed played well and Shannon Gabriel was good with the new ball."

    A stunning day in Antigua, and the adorable mascot is asked who he thinks will win. "The West Indies!" he replies, which amuses Eoin Morgan.

    Up goes the coin, and Jason Holder calls correctly. The West Indies will have a bat first.
