Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have won the toss and have opted to field

Moeen Ali: We will bowl. Just because wicket seems like it's going to stay good, and obviously the weather as well. We do have a nicely balanced team. Sometimes you want to play the extra batter, sometimes the bowler, but yeah, it's great for our side. Rakeem Cornwall misses out. He's got a sore hipFabian Allen comes in and there's one more. Evin Lewis is in.

Jason Holder: I just said it's a good surface, you know. We just got to make use of it. We've got to pay special attention to them and just make sure we execute. I think that's our biggest thing, execute in the key moments of this game and win them. They (crowd) have been loyal over the years, not only this year, but we had a good crowd the last game and I expect a really good crowd tonight. Hopefully the weather stays the way we get a really good game. We've got three changes.

Just saw Rahkeem and Jimbo Cornwall arriving by bus. Yes, all two of them.

18:32 Local Time, 22:32 GMT, 04:02 IST: It has been raining in St Kitts, but there are good signs for rest of the evening - as it has reduced down to a slight drizzle. The covers are in place, but we had toss just a while ago.

Weather and pitch: Thunder, lightning, excessive rain and gusts of winds that you've never seen before. But thankfully right now we're okay. The ground staff have done a great job. Now the weather for tonight's fixture, another day-night game here in St Kitts, it's looking a little bit ominous, I must say. There's a 75% chance of rain and a strong wind going across to the stand to my left there. So actually it could be a curtailed game, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that it's not

19:30 Local Time, 23:30 GMT, 05:00 IST: There’s nothing new to report as the rain continues to fall at Warner Park. The covers remain firmly in place and with the delay stretching on, we’re now edging closer to losing overs. Conditions are far from ideal, with strong winds blowing and puddles beginning to form across the outfield. At this stage, things aren’t looking particularly promising.

20:10 Local Time, 00:10 GMT, 05:40 IST: We’ve now started losing overs, so whenever play does get underway, we’re in for a shortened contest. The covers remain firmly in place, and the chances of play getting underway are looking increasingly bleak
