    He might get Joe Root out by making him laugh.

    It takes Chris Gayle longer to get back to his mark than Michael Holding used to.

    Chris Gayle, sunglasses plonked firmly in place, is going to continue.

    Root 73, Woakes 19

    A single brings up the 50 partnership between this pair in relatively quick time, before Chris Woakes flicks another single off his hips.

    Target 213

    Short, pulled for four by Joe Root.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Cheers, Jack.

    This has been fairly perfunctory from England. Carlos Brathwaite is coming back on to bowl.

    Right, with England rollicking along, it's time for me to hand you over to Amy Lofthouse for the remainder of this match.

    Cheers all, catch you soon.

    Well Chris Gayle has kept England honest there, conceding only one off the over.

    He bends down and puts his hand over his sunglasses giving Joe Root a bit of a stare as the England batsman can't beat fine leg with his sweep.

    Smiles all round.

    Even though he's bowling off two yards, he's taking an age...

    Chris Gayle hits Root high on the leg. There is a pantomime appeal from the big man and he even jokes about reviewing it.

    Jason Holder must have been bricking it for a second.

    It was going over and a mile down leg.

    Chris Gayle is wearing very large mirrored aviators while bowling.

    Gentle off-breaks that keep Chris Woakes honest for two dot balls in a row.

    Woakes then chips a bit uncertainly down to long on for a single. Gayle isn't exactly fizzing it down and that caught out Woakes a bit there.

    If they continue to bowl like this the game will all be over very shortly. I don't know what the West Indies plan is - there is no plan from what I can see.

    There is no plan to contain the batsmen.

    Chris Gayle is going to bowl!

    Well, why not?

    He's warming up by flossing. Ever the showman.

    Since the Champions Trophy in 2017, 42 opening partnerships for England average 62 - today is the 21st time they have reached 50 for no loss. That's the best in the world in that time.

    Need 75 more runs to win

    Joe Root deftly guides wide of third man for a couple and swivels through mid-wicket for two more.

    He's saved the best for last though, Oshane Thomas sending down a short ball that sits up and Root cracks it away for four.

    Utterly dominant batting.

  17. Eng 129-1published at 19.1 overs

    Root 60, Woakes 15

    And Chris Woakes greets the returning Oshane Thomas with a crisp drive through point for four. Wrists.

  18. Postpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 14 June 2019

    Oshane Thomas is back into the attack.

    His first three overs were very ordinary.

    West Indies need him fast and firing here.
