  1. WI 8-2

    Target 329

    These are two good bowlers but this is lacklustre stuff from the West Indies. Shai Hope is the next man in and nearly ends up trotting back to the dressing room after his first ball, playing all around a delivery from Chris Woakes that jags back into him. A food carton then blows merrily across the ground, which Jason Roy tidies up. An excellent over from Woakes.

  2. Ebony Rainford-Brent

    That's shocking really. Even if there was pain in the hand, you'd expect him to move a little bit more. That just sums up everything for the West Indies.

    WICKET

    Lewis c&b Woakes 0 (WI 8-2)

    Evin Lewis walks off after losing his wicketAFP

    Ah. Right. That's the end of that. Evin Lewis gets up on one leg, trying to pull over the field. Instead he gets a loopy edge that balloons up, and it's far too easy for Chris Woakes to jog forward a little and take the catch. Dearie me. 

  4. Evin Lewis is ready to face his first over, after recovering from that horrible tumble over the boundary rope. He's holding his left arm a little stiffly, but he's got Chris Woakes to contend with.

  5. WI 7-1

    Target 329

    There's some decent pace from Steven Finn on show here, cramping Kraigg Brathwaite for room. He lets the first delivery whizz past his nose, before sensibly leaving the next couple of runs.

  6. Right, well. That was weird. The first ball of the over was some leg side rubbish, then a top edged six, then a wicket. Kraigg Brathwaite is the new man at the crease.

  7. Simon Hughes
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    What a contrast! Hit for six one ball, taking a wicket the next! He lobbed a simple dolly of a catch to Alex Hales.

    WICKET

    Powell c Hales b Finn 6 (WI 7-1)

    And he's out the very next ball! What a weird two deliveries. Kieron Powell just lazily flicked it up and it was a simple catch for Alex Hales, moving to his left at mid-wicket. That is poor cricket.

  9. 6 runs

    WI 7-0

    Well, Kieron Powell didn't entirely mean that. A short ball from Steven Finn, dug into Powell's ribs, and a top edge has flown over the ropes for six.

  10. Steven Finn will get this afternoon's proceedings under way, with Kieron Powell in his sights.

  11. Thanks, Alan. A lovely tribute to Tony Cozier there by Test Match Special - I spoke to him for my dissertation at university a few years ago. You couldn't wish to speak to somebody who was more passionate about West Indies cricket.

  12. The players are back out and the West Indies chase is about to begin. Here's Amy Lofthouse to talk you through it.

    Good batting from England you would think they would be about 20 runs short of what they wanted. Nonetheless West Indies will have to bat hard and bat deep to get close to getting back in to this game. 

  14. Tough task for West Indies

  15. While Haydn Gill continues to talk about about the much-missed Tony Cozier on TMS, England's bowlers are out on the field at the Kensington Oval, warming up as West Indies prepare to chase 329 to win the third ODI. 

    England's 328 is the highest ODI total ever posted on this historical Barbados ground so the hosts have their work cut out, to say the least. 

  16. Haydn Gill,  the sports editor of  Nations News  in Barbados, is asked on TMS about how Barbados reacted to Tony Cozier's death last May: "It was with a sense of shock. We knew he wasn't well, for a number of years he'd been having his challenges. The huge outpouring of tributes that followed was a reflection of the high esteem in which he was held."

  17. Haydn Gill, the sports editor of Nations News in Barbados, is now talking about Tony Cozier on TMS: "Even before I got into journalism, I would listen to him on the radio and take him off. And I would photocopy his articles."

  18. Former West Indies fast bowler Sir Curtly Ambrose:  "There is never going to be another Tony Cozier. He's been around for at least 60 years and his legacy is going to remain."

  19. Former West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop: "Outside of cricket, he would talk about life and he was very funny. If I had a different opinion, he wouldn't say 'Bishoo, shut up'. He'd take that opinion on board. He was such a lovable man and a nice person. I almost well up talking about him." 

  20. Former West Indies fast bowler Sir Curtly Ambrose: "He was the greatest commentator West Indies has ever produced."
