    Benjamin: Surely Liam Plunkett has to be put into Ashes squad now? He hits 85-88mph on slow pitches, Aus pitches will be much quicker.

  2. WI 227-5published at 45 overs

    Plunkett 9-0-41-1

    Time for Plunkett, England's best seamer today. Rovman Powell, who made an unbeaten 28 off 15 balls in the fourth ODI, joins Ambris. Plunkett giving little away, though, and Ambris and Powell are content to trade singles. Five overs left. Let's have it.

    Jake Ball will be relieved because it was right in the slot to strike. It was perfect to be launched at but Shai Hope just slices it.

    Hope c Billings b Ball 72 (221-5)

    Hope goes! Wide and full from Ball, Hope throws his arms but doesn't quite connect as well as he would have liked. Billings, stationed at deep point, doesn't miss those. England have the breakthrough and West Indies' hopes of a hefty total take a blow.

    Ball lumbers in, a bit like Angus Fraser but with better hair. He gets the treatment from Hope, who pulls a perfectly decent back-of-a-length delivery from outside off stump into the stand at deep mid-wicket. That sounded wonderful.

    Sanjay Dubey: Shoaib Akhtar cleaning up Sachin for a golden duck at Eden Gardens in 1999 in front of 90k+ is the most memorable ever.

  7. WI 212-4published at 43 overs

    Hope 65, Ambris 12

    That was the end of Rashid's spell - he finishes with 1-42 off 10. England's spinners went for a combined 2-78 off 20. Curran continues with his bag of all sorts - slower balls and quicker ones. After Ambris pulls the first ball for four, Hope miscues a pull back over the bowler's head for two to end the over. Nine off it.

    Ponting, Edgbaston 2005. Flintoff beats him every ball, both sides of the bat. 6th is a no-ball. 7th ball takes the edge. Worked over.

    WI 201-4

    A chance. A tough one, but a chance nonetheless. Hope with a lofted drive, Root running in from long-off and spills it inches from the ground as he dives forward. He's angry at that. Hope has a life - and another single.

  10. WI 200-4published at 41.2 overs

    Rashid spoils an otherwise accurate spell with one that drifts down leg and is helped on its way by West Indies debutant Sunil Ambris for four.

    Chris Williams: Not the finest piece of cricket, but Sharma ct. Prior b. Cook caused me to laugh so hard my flatmates had to check I was OK.

    Gary Lambert: Warne's 700th at the MCG dismissing Andrew Strauss was pretty special and historic.

  12. WI 195-4published at 41 overs

    S Hope 61, Ambris 0

    Excellent from wicketkeeper Jos Buttler, leaping to his right to parry a toe-ender from Hope off a Curran yorker. Good cricket. And another in the block hole from Curran, who follows it up with a slower ball. Cracking over, a maiden. How many of those do you see at this stage of an innings?

    So we're into the final 10 overs. What makes a good total here?

    Root caught that in his fingertips. It's one of those catches that they practise out in the deep every day. A real disappointment for Jason Mohammed. Rashid gave him the opportunity to get under it, but Mohammed didn't get enough elevation.

    Mohammed c Root b Rashid 25 (195-4)

    No, it isn't. Mohammed attempts to clear long-off, but Joe Root makes good ground to his left to take a smart catch on the move. Mohammed perishes for 25 off 30 balls and the responsibility on Hope ratchets up a notch.

  16. WI 195-3published at 39.3 overs

    A double bowling change from England, Rashid replacing Moeen. He too drops short and Hope swivels to pull behind square with power and placement. Are we seeing the start of the the West Indies charge?

    Just like London buses, Shai Hope waited so long for a boundary then has three in a row. A very exciting young West Indian batsman, he really is someone to keep an eye on.

    WI 189-3

    It's time for Tom Curran again, the wicket of the mighty Chris Gayle to his name on debut. But Hope treats three successive leg-side long hops with disdain pulling for successive fours. Those were Hope's first boundaries of his innings - and he brings up an 80-ball fifty in the process.

    That was the first boundary off Moeen, off his 58th ball.

    Finally we see a shot in anger and it's a good-looking shot as well.
