    There's a feeling that Adil Rashid isn't comfortable with the red ball. He's a fine white-ball bowler and that is what he wants to be.

  2. Phil Tufnell

    I like the decision to take Mason Crane, but I wonder why Adil Rashid has been discarded?

    If only Moeen could take his confidence with the bat through to his bowling, because I think he is as good a bowler as he is batsman. He just doesn't believe in himself.

    Jonny Wilson: Looks like it could be Duckworth-Lewis 1, Evan Lewis 0.

    Alex Haworth: I was wondering when the rain would arrive in the south. It's been pouring for a couple of hours in Sheffield. End of the game.

    The cut-off is 20:45, but they have been slow with the over-rate. That could push it back. They won't call it off just yet.

    The feeling is that now this rain has started, it won't stop.

    Rain stops play - Eng 258-4

    England are six runs ahead of DLS par score

    Jason Holder brings back Alzarri Joseph, the man with five wickets to his name. He bowls one ball, which is clipped down to fine leg for two.

    Hold on ... they're coming off. The DLS par score is now 252, England are six runs ahead.

    West Indies are getting Moeened at the moment.

  10. Eng 256-4

    DLS par score: 252, Target: 357

    Moeen Ali strikes the ball so, so well. Right in the block from Jerome Taylor and Moeen drives it past a diving wide mid-off for another four.

    It's raining! England are level on DLS par score, with one ball left in the over ... and Moeen drives through extra cover for four.

    England are now ahead on DLS. Drama!

    It has to stop somewhere. Just because it's raining somewhere in London, it doesn't mean it will rain everywhere in London.

  12. Eng 245-5

    Buttler 39, Ali 39

    West Indies mixing up their bowlers as Miguel Cummins comes on. Wide, full and Moeen slashes and slashes well. It went through the hands of backward point. It went fast, but it's a chance.

    A big swing from Moeen and he slices it down to third man for just the single. Then Buttler finds the boundary with a cheeky little shuffle across the wicket ramp shot, down to fine leg. Premeditated and perfectly executed.

    Moeen can do no wrong. A bit too over-pitched from Cummins and Moeen makes some space and sends it down to the long-off boundary.

    50 partnership is up and that's 15 from the over. England are three behind the DLS par score.

    The crowd is getting on the backs of the West Indies. They sense that they are slowing the game down, which they might be.

  14. Eng 230-5

    DLS par score: 245, Target: 357

    Jason Holder continues. Moeen Ali drives through extra cover for two. A single brings Jos Buttler on strike, who drives through the cover region for two of his own. There is definitely some intent here from England. They know they need to go big, and go big now.

    Holder gets away with one as Moeen fails to capitalise on a slower ball full-toss. Another dot ball. A good over for the tourists.

    England sense rain in the air. The next 15 minutes could be crucial.

  16. Eng 224-5

    Buttler 30, Moeen 27

    A single from Moeen brings Jos Buttler on strike, but England's wicketkeeper struggles to find the same big shots. A clip through square-leg and two rapid runs to end the over.

    England are 18 runs behind the DLS par score.

  17. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Ex-England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm nervous for Nurse with the way that Moeen is striking it. He needs to vary the angle.

  18. Eng 221-5

    SIX! He swings his axe and smashes it over mid-wicket.

    FOUR! He clubs it back past the bowler.

    SIX! Down on one knee and lofted over long-on.

    Are we seeing some Moeen magic again?

    DLS par at the end of the 32nd over was 242.

  20. Eng 205-5

    Buttler 28, Moeen 10

    Captain Jason Holder brings himself back on, he has a swagger to his walk as he returns to his mark. Jos Buttler takes a few strides forward and looks to drive through the covers, but instead it's a play and a miss and through to Hope behind the stumps.

    This time he does connect as Marlon Samuels at backward point lets it go through his hands for four. Sloppy, but West Indies have taken some fine catches today.

    Gayle dives at cover to stop a potential four. Looks like he's enjoying being out on the field today.
