McCoy out...in comes Sheppy
Powell:
It's a case of us following the same template today. IF you bat first, you got to bat really good. The guys are upbeat. We have one change. McCoy misses out, Romario Shepherd comes in. It's been five games, the bodies wear and tear, that is something we have to keep monitoring. It's important (to finish 3-2). The fans would hope that WI play good, We want to put smiles on their faces

Buttler:
We are going to bowl again. Looks like a really good wicket. Two changes. Rashid and Jofra Archer come in. We had a high-scoring game yesterday, we'll try to learn from that. We did a pretty good job (with the ball), a couple of really big overs. Setting the tone with the ball today, we'll try to do a good job today.

Win toss/win match might prompt the game into a rethink of the laws in this format. Too short for recovery.

Pitch Report | Nikhil Uttamchandani and Carlos Brathwaite:
We are back on pitch No. 4 (same pitch as the last 2 matches). The boundary dimensions - 63m square, 71m straight. Even though the straight boundary is longer, they are being cleared easily by the batters. Holding the shape and hitting through the line is the key here. Look forward to the dew factor settling in the second half.

2.4
Jofra Archer to Shai Hope, FOUR, 138.5kph, Archer has a wry smile on his face. Banged in short, gets big on the batter who is clearly late into his pull shot. A fat top-edge that clears short fine leg before going into the fence

3.3
Jamie Overton to Lewis, FOUR, 125.1kph, 125.1kph, short of length, Lewis goes back to pull. Goes hard and probably wanted to hit it much squarer. Hits him high on the bat and goes over wide mid-on for a one-bounce four

4.2
John Turner to Shai Hope, FOUR, 133.9kph, 133.9kph, good shot! Mid-on was pushed to long-on prior to this ball and he's placed this perfectly. Waits for this in-angler and drags it over midwicket
Narper
2024-11-17 20:21:52
4.4
John Turner to Lewis, SIX, short ball with no venom, Lewis slightly moves leg-side and hammers the pull over midwicket. There's a man in the deep but he can only watch the ball sail over the ropes

18:18 Local Time, 22:18 GMT, 03:48 IST: Here's the inevitable update. The match has been called off. So, the final scoreline is West Indies 1 - 3 England. We witnessed just five overs of play today before torrential rain played spoilsport. The visitors wrapped up the series with two games remaining, WI picked up a consolation win yesterday in a high-scoring encounter and unfortunately there was hardly any action today.
