I said this back in the world cup. Jos Buttler is not a good leader or captain. Simon, Devon

Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie is into his fifth over. He hasn't gone for many.
A Ben Duckett sweep brings up a half-century stand between he and Liam Livingstone then a few balls later England reach three figures.
Thanks, Sam.
Yes, a nice little partnership developing between Liam Livingstone and Ben Duckett.
Duckett 52, Livingstone 22
Ben Duckett goes aerial to end the over, chipping the ball over mid-off.
He didn't quite time it, though, and the ball is pulled up before it reaches the boundary.
The partnership is now worth 48 and with England rebuilding, it is time for us to make a change. Timothy Abraham will take you through the remainder of the innings.
Eng 94-5
A valuable half-century from Ben Duckett with England in trouble.
That's his third in ODIs, to go with one century, and it comes up in 56 balls with a single dabbed to backward point.
England need him out there for a long while yet.

BBC Test Match Special commentator
The ball is turning so there's enough encouragement for Gudakesh Motie and Yannic Cariah. It's a test of skill and patience for Ben Duckett and Liam Livingstone. Good contest.

England are completing their journey from the best international white ball team to the worst. It might be me but they're playing for England and it doesn't even look like they can be bothered.

England are showing Gudakesh Motie plenty of respect. It makes sense given how consistent he is with his line and length and the assistance this surface is giving him.
When he does drop just a fraction short, though, Liam Livingstone is able guide the ball down towards deep third for a couple.
Free hit and a chance of some risk-free runs for Liam Livingstone as Yannic Cariah oversteps.
However, the England batter cannot take advantage. He comes charging down the pitch, has a massive swing but misses.
Stumped by a mile. Thankfully for England, it doesn't count.
Re Tristian and Sasha at 20:31. They're probably about the same height, Messi probably taller to be fair.

We've looked this up. Lionel Messi has been measured at 1.7 metres, or 5ft 7in. Ben Duckett is, indeed, the same height.
So it comes down to who has the thicker soles on their shoes, or the spikier hair...
England are content to deal in singles against Gudakesh Motie, taking three of them from this over.
The partnership is up to 35. It's a start...

James Gulleford: All the last game did was paper over the cracks of England’s now poor leadership and coaching. Jos Buttler must stand down and Matthew Mott must go!
Peter Gretton: How many times does it have to said? Buttler just isn't the captain we need. What kind of mindset did he instill before this innings? "It's OK guys, I'll go out when we're in trouble and get out for a duck!" Something has to change, please!
Dr Kelvin Somner: I'm sure England's batters are doing their best. It's good bowling from the West Indies don't forget.
Liam Livingstone looks keen to get after Yannic Cariah and while England take 10 from the leggie's first over, there were a couple of minor scares.
Livingstone skewed one ball into the covers but just short of the fielder then miscues a shot over the top, slicing the ball into the off side but between the two fielders in the deep.
Leg spinner Yannic Cariah is into the attack and overpitches second ball.
Ben Duckett is waiting for it and drives firmly through the covers for four.
India played two ODI's against the West Indies earlier in the year on this ground. In the first ODI India bowled the hosts out for 114 and went onto win by five wickets. In the second game India were bowled out for 181 as the West Indies won by six wickets.
Gudakesh Motie continues after drinks and the England batters remain watchful against the spinner.
They take a pair of singles from the over. It's all about building a partnership for the visitors. The big shots can wait.

England copying the shambles of India Women earlier today. Embarrassing isn’t even close.
Mark
Much better for England. A very productive over brings them 11 runs.
Ben Duckett didn't get all of it with his pull shot in front of square but it was in the gap and good running got them three.
Time for drinks with West Indies still in control.

Just offering a ray of light. I'm here at the cricket with my daughter for her birthday. And in the warm-up football keepy-uppies, Ben Duckett looked like Lionel Messi.
Tristan and Sasha at the Kensington Oval
Short from Alzarri Joseph and Liam Livingstone crunches the pull shot in front of square for four.
They're all useful runs for England in this situation and that's a strong shot too.
