Key occasions
fifth over: West Indies 17-1 (King 11, Carty 3) Mahmood peels off a decent over for simply two runs. He’s unsatisfied with one of the footmarks despite the fact that so the groundstaff hurry out with a mallett and get thwacking. Carty nudges and sprints a handy guide a rough unmarried, West Indies must rotate the strike and select up waht they are able to. It’s difficult in the market nowadays.
4th over: West Indies 15-1 (King 11, Carty 2) Keacy Carty is shelled by way of Ben Duckett! A period ball is poked to the pint sized Notts guy at 2nd slip and he chooses to head with one hand when he may haver grasped it with two. It used to be a tight peak and really catchable – Duckett can be frustrated he didn’t take that. Brydon Carse undoubtedly is.
Carse then slips King a yorker that misses the off stump by way of a gnat’s eyebrow. What a ball, past due swing taking it clear of an emphatic blank bowled on the very ultimate 2nd. Another sensible over from the spectacular Carse.
third over: West Indies 14-1 (King 11, Carty 1) King unfurls a princely quilt power for 4 off Mahmood. That whistled around the Sophia Gardens baize. Eeeesht! The bowler responds with an absolute peach that angles in and decks away past due, leaving the batter hoping and praying there’s no edge.
second over: West Indies 6-1 (King 4, Carty 0) Keacy Carty is the brand new batter for West Indies. He’s been in just right type of past due, peeling off a few centuries at the contemporary excursion of Ireland.
WICKET! Jewel Andrew c Jacks b Carse 0 (West Indies 6-1)
Oh no! After giving him the massive building up the teenage sensation Jewel Andrew is on his method for a duck. Brydon Carse get some jump and hits the splice, Andrew to blame of enjoying with arduous palms in entrance of his frame and a straightforward catch is looped to Will Jacks shut at the off aspect. England have their first and Carse peels off an outstanding wicket maiden to start out.
1st over: West Indies 6-0 (King 4, Andrew 0) Saqib Mahmood struggles together with his line within the first over, shonking two balls down the leg aspect. He then over-corrects and a large ball is splayed away in the course of the off aspect by way of King to open up the Windies account. Ooof! two beauties from Mahmood to finish the over – angling in after which jagging away past due, beating the outdoor edge on each events. Looks to be a little within the wicket, England at the hunt for early wickets with two slips in position.
Righto, right here come the avid gamers. Brandon King and 18 12 months outdated Jewel Andrew to open up for West Indies. Andrew is some other precocious skill who’s environment tongues wagging together with his batting abilities. He’ll be the youngest opening batter for West Indies in ODIs.
“The world will be amazed by his talent” Shai Hope informed me ultimate week in an interview for as of late’s fit programme. Plenty to stay up for then, let’s play!
Ian Bishop and Michael Atherton were discussing Jacob Bethell on Sky, Bishop is aware of his dad neatly from years in the past and he admits that there’s a pang of be apologetic about that the Barbados raised child is enjoying for England. There’s numerous noise about Bethell, take note he’s but to attain a century in skilled cricket however is already a world cricketer in all 3 codecs and has been rubbing shoulders with Virat Kohli within the IPL. I’m now not one for hyperbole however 5 mins of observing him bat and you’ll be able to see he has one thing particular.

Their captain Shai Hope is in Judge Dredd sunglasses and is aware of his aspect want a large reaction as of late.
“It’s a three-match series and we need to turn it around, come out and be positive. We have to be smarter, got to find a way. Ready to go today.”
England win the toss and can bowl!
Shai Hope calls incorrectly and Harry Brook has no hesitation in placing the guests. It’s breezy and brilliant in Cardiff.
“There’s a bit of grass so we should get a bit out of the pitch early on.” Says Brook. “Potts is banging on the door in all three formats, but a shame Jamie (Overton) has gone down… we want to keep smashing away, be more ruthless.”
