    Mike Fisher: Can't quite beat taking your jet-ski to the cricket.

  3. Eng 102-8published at 19 overs

    Ironic cheers for England as they bring up their 100. That felt a long way away until Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid put on 36 for the eighth wicket.

    Six balls left. Can England get up to 115?

    Rashid dropped on 15published at 18.1 overs

    Eng 99-8

    Unlucky!

    Adil Rashid goes deep in his crease and pulls towards the long-on boundary. Jason Holder goes haring after it, and dives at full length, but can only parry it into the rope.

    These are all invaluable runs for England.

  6. Eng 95-8published at 18 overs

    Cheeky. Adil Rashid shuffles slightly outside leg stump, but keeps his bat tucked in and steers inches past the wicketkeeper but away to the boundary for four.

    Oh! Saqib Mahmood is backing up an absolute mile and Kieron Pollard pulls out of his delivery stride and gives the Lancashire quick a warning. Mahmood offers up an apologetic hand.

    Matthew: Really poor performance but people have short memories. We have been superb in shorter formats for a number of years. It is one bad performance. Calm down.

  8. Eng 87-8published at 17 overs

    Saqib Mahmood is up and running with a single.

    For what it's worth, he'd be my tip to force his way into England's side for the World Cup in Australia in October and November.

    England won't go into that tournament with Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone as spin options so I'd expect to see a genuine pace bowler replace Moeen in the side. Mahmood could be a handful on Australian pitches.

    It's generally a good rule that you will struggle to post a decent total if number eight is your top scorer.

    Jordan c Cottrell b Allen 28 (Eng 85-8)

    Holes out!

    Chris Jordan looks to go big once again, but doesn't quite connect properly and picks out Sheldon Cottrell at long-off.

    A good 28 from 23 balls from Jordan, though.

    Stuart Mitchell: The difference between this performance and the Ashes - this is a complete surprise, the Ashes were not. I have full confidence this side will turn things around as the series progresses. I never had that confidence with the red-ball side and the Ashes.

  12. Eng 86-7published at 16 overs

    After England had taken 32 from the previous three overs West Indies captain Kieron Pollard turns to himself to wrestle some control back.

    He does it too, conceding just three singles.

    There are 24 balls left. What can England work their way up to?

    Joe Gibney: Turns out that England can't play cricket with a red ball, pink ball or a white ball. Is there any polka-dot ball cricket that hasn't been invented yet?

    Christopher James Jordan, that is a shot.

    He opens his body and spanks a drive over the covers for his third six of the day. He is up to 27 off 18 balls now.

    An England fan tries to dive and catch it on the beach at the side of the ground, but he spills it.

    Cottrell finishes with 2-30 from his four overs.

    Important to say those were one-day internationals, rather than T20s, though Hassan.

    That series was also very stop-start with Covid cases on the Ireland side.

    Hassan: Just to put this shambles into a perspective, this West Indies team has lost a series to Ireland in the last week.

  18. Eng 71-7published at 14 overs

    Four to end the over.

    Adil Rashid looks to pull away, and gloves one away fine to pick up his first boundary.

    England have added 24 in the last two overs.

    Eng 66-7

    Oh! I feel harsh calling this a drop, to be honest.

    Chris Jordan slaps a drive back at Romario Shepherd, and the quick plonks out his right hand and gets hand on ball, but it doesn't stick.

    It would have been a sensational grab.

    Chris Jordan! Six more!

    Romario Shepherd drops short and Jordan crunches a pull over the ropes and into the scoreboard.

    That made the most gorgeous noise off the bat.
