  1. Eng 302-2published at 40 overs

    Need 59 from 60 balls

    That's a tidy over from Ashley Nurse in the scheme of things, and Eoin Morgan and Joe Root can only work three singles from it.

  2. 50 runs

    50 for Morganpublished at 38.5 overs

    Eoin Morgan taps a single down the ground and brings up a fine fifty from just 37 balls, with four fours and two sixes.

    A brief raise of the bat and on he goes.

  3. Eng 298-2published at 38.4 overs

    Morgan is in a hurry. He goes to the reverse sweep again and places it perfectly, streaking it past the fielders for four more.

  4. 6 runs

    Eng 294-2published at 38.2 overs

    Now Eoin Morgan rocks back to marmalise Devendra Bishoo over wide long on for six. What a shot!

  5. Eng 288-2published at 38.1 overs

    It's funny but you feel for Ashley Nurse. His ground fielding is just as ropey as his catching, this time sliding over the ball as Eoin Morgan reverse sweeps Devendra Bishoo for four.

    Pete Hotchkiss: Ashley Nurse couldn't catch a cold.

  7. Eng 284-2published at 38 overs

    Root 84, Morgan 35

    Joe Root works it out to mid-wicket for two before exchanging singles with Eoin Morgan.

    That's 13 off the over. John Campbell is not the answer for the hosts.

  8. Eng 280-2published at 37.3 overs

    And Joe Root rocks back to clatter a lofted drive away for four through the covers.

    Make that back-to-back boundaries, smashing it back over the bowler's head.

  9. Postpublished at 22:17 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2019

    West Indies opener John Campbell is on to twirl some offies in his maiden ODI...

  10. Eng 271-2published at 37 overs

    England need 90 runs to win from 78 balls.

    And Jos Buttler is still in the hutch if needed. Whew.

  11. ouch!

    Eng 269-2published at 36.3 overs

    Carlos Brathwaite bangs it in, Joe Root misses and wears one just above the hip.

  12. 6 runs

    Eng 262-2published at 35.5 overs

    And now Ashley Nurse takes some punishment off his bowling.

    A drag down is ruthlessly dispatched over square leg for six by Eoin Morgan.

  13. Close!published at 35 overs

    Eng 256-2

    One of the brilliant things about cricket is that even at international level, you still get players who are pretty woeful at one of batting, bowling or fielding.

    Dear reader, you might well have played cricket alongside better fielders than Ashley Nurse.

    The burly off-spinner has a chance to catch Joe Root again at third man but doesn't get there, forlornly diving forward as the ball bounces past him and away for four.

    The ball seems to be following poor Ashley.

    Target 361

    Ashley Nurse can't catch but that's a tidy over, just four from it.

  16. Postpublished at 22:00 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2019

    Ashley Nurse is on to bowl. He owes his team the wicket of Joe Root. Twice.

    Neil Yelland: For those shouting Jason Roy should open in Test matches: Guptill, Finch, Munro, De Kock, Sharma. Similar dominant white ball players. ALL struggled opening OR bat 6 or below in red ball. Warner only exception. Just embrace how good he is at white ball cricket!

  18. Eng 244-2published at 33 overs

    Root 64, Morgan 16

    Jason Holder is not impressed by Ashley Nurse's effort.

    He grimaces and carries on the over, conceding eight from it - two twos and four ones.

  19. dropped catch

    Root dropped on 62published at 32.1 overs

    Oh heck, another drop!

    Joe Root tries to ramp Jason Holder away but picks out Ashley Nurse on the third man boundary.

    Nurse gets there but spills the ball as he tumbles forward. That carried and Nurse has now dropped Root twice.
