West Indies vs England: Second Men's One-Day Cricket International – live | England vs West Indies 2024

21st over: West Indies 97-2 (Carty 39, Hope 46) Enough! Hope flutters to Livingstone's first ball, Carty cuts off his second, which cuts through the fielders and runs to the rope – the first boundary for a while. Encouraged, Carty plows again – nine from the top.

21st over: West Indies 88-2 (Carty 30, Hope 43) Mark Butcher reckons Carty will struggle to pick Rashid, who arrives with his sleeve rolled up and a mischievous beard. A dab from Carty to the back gets a single, but there are only a few more singles to add to the pot.

20th over: West Indies 84-2 (Carty 30, Hope 43) Three singles from Liam Livingstone's Handkerchief. Just 13 runs from the last five overs.

19th over: West Indies 80-2 (Carty 29, Hope 41) England's spinners race through their overs here, also economically. The West Indies need to keep an eye on this.

18th over: West Indies 80-2 (Carty 27, Hope 41) Marcus Trescodick watches with his arms folded and a towel around his neck as Carty can only pick one from Livingstone.

An email! Hello Andrew Benton.

“I joined the multinational audience today at the excellent Cricket Sixes here in Hong Kong, where England handed Oman their highest score of the tournament so far (160) in a game, dropping at least two catches in the process, and then went on to be beaten by their opponents have suffered some excellent catches that left them hopeless. Hopefully the one-day page is better prepared. And Oman also shone with his orange outfits, they really stood out. With 12 nations playing, the crowd was a real mix, not just the home team and their individual opponents, and there was a really cool and friendly atmosphere.

“Are the six-man competitions held somewhere else, you know? As I remember, Hong Kong was big business in the 90s, but a few years before the Corona crisis, the business went out of business and this is the first time in seven years.”

All I know is the competition from the Dermot Reeve era in the 1990s – but OBO viewers around the world may know more.

17th over: West Indies 79-2 (Carty 27, Hope 41) Rashid rattles through another, West Indies grabs three and They take DRINKS!

16th over: West Indies 76-2 (Carty 24, Hope 40) Liam Livingstone gets on the ball, wearing sunglasses of course, and opens with a looping legspinner, immediately drying his hands on the pitch. Mark Butcher says that the more moisture rises from the pitch, the better the ball hits the bat.

15th over: West Indies 72-2 (Carty 23, Hope 37) A delicious ride from Hope as Saqib gets lost and is celebrated with cowbells and waving flags as he crosses the rope. A handful of singles.

13th over: West Indies 64-2 (Carty 21, Hope 31) …so a downtrodden Hope pokes a big maroon ball across the pitch and lofts Rashid for six. The 50 partnership comes from 62 balls. A testing ball squeezes through Carty's goal.

13th over: West Indies 54-2 (Carty 19, Hope 23) England's shirt sits pretty high on the neck, which is good for sunburn, I suppose. Excellent from Saqib, who doesn't send anything at the West Indies…

12th over: West Indies 52-2 (Carty 18, Hope 2) Time for Adil Rashid to whistle through his first whirling stuff.

11th over: West Indies 48-2 (Carty 17, Hope 19) Saqib, his beard and head shaved close, runs a little too far, and Hope drives him across the floor admirably. Saqib pulls things back with four consecutive points.

10th over: West Indies 41-2 (Carty 16, Hope 13) Turner goes short, Hope goes high, with the wind and a hint of arrogance, and the ball sails over cover for the first six of the game. End of the first power play.

9th over: West Indies 33-2 (Carty 15, Hope 6) Jofra gets a break and is replaced by Saqib Mahmood, who recently signed a new three-year deal with Lancashire (although still hoping to play with the red ball when his body allows it). The cameras pan to an inviting turquoise Caribbean Sea. Four stolen from above.

8th over: West Indies 29-2 (Carty 14, Hope 3) Carty has had enough of this cat and mouse and attacks Turner – but he misses him completely. Two balls later he drives recklessly to where three fielders are huddled together like milk bottles on the offside. Bethell jumps but can only hand the ball up (saving two runs in the process). Carty goes again later in the over, this time firing the ball through the floating trio and picking up four of them.

7th over: West Indies 23-2 (Carty 8, Hope 3) A cheeky breeze ruffles the crowd's flags and t-shirts, the sky full of fluffy, dappled clouds – think a collage from a reception class. “A good fight between Jofra and Shai Hope,” says the commentator. “Jofra is disciplined, as is Hope, knowing that this could be Jofra's last game.” And it's a virgin.

6th over: West Indies 23-2 (Carty 8, Hope 3) Turner clean and fast. It's actually quite an intimidating figure as he storms in. The majority of the crowd filling the stadium appears to be British.

5th round: West Indies 19-2 (Carty 5, Hope 3) A third at the trot for Archer, who accelerated to the high 80s (mph) and varied his length. Five points.

4th round: West Indies 17-2 (Carty 5, Hope 1) A moralizing boundary from Turner's last ball, but a challenging over from the young giant. The West Indies defiantly disobeyed Alastair Cook's instructions and survived England's first recovery.

WICKET! Lewis v Salt v Turner 4 (West Indies 12-2)

Third: West Indies 12-1 (Lewis 4, Carty 1) Archer tries to tempt Lewis with a rebound, but he shows admirable restraint and ends the over with a full-length ball that Lewis plays straight back up the pitch for a single.

2nd over: West Indies 7-1 (Lewis 0, Carty 0) King drives his second ball through the offside side for four with some style, but two balls later he goes back to the dressing room. Turner raises his long arm in joy.

WICKET! King v Cox v Turner 7 (West Indies 7-1)

1st over: West Indies 1-0 (King 1, Lewis 0) Jofra Archer has the new ball, small white beads threaded through the bottom of his braids, a sleeve on his right arm, red soles on his boots. One of his pant legs looks like it was bitten off at the bottom by a hungry dog. Just a single from above.

The players are out, Just like the sun, here we go.

A steaming plate of cheese on toast comes into the room next to my son, unfortunately not for me. Cook believes we could see 15 overs of “heavy seam” from England to start.

Pitch monitoring: Carlos Brathwaite familiarizes himself with the clubface – “What's a good length?” Six to eight meters from the popping cree. What Jaydon Seales did really well is go from the defensive player at eight meters to the offensive player at six meters.”

Jason Holder and Alastair Cook both agree that the West Indies must overcome this first outbreak from England.

A 12th ODI defeat in 18 games? “Not where England is”
