5.30pm: The party has started in Antigua, with England's new-look side already anticipating a hangover. You can read all about it as soon as Vish Ehantharajah's match report gets updated, and there'll be more from the ground via Cam Ponsonby. Don't even think about scheduling something in your diary for Wednesday, when we'll do it all again at the Sir Viv. Cheerio!
5.20pm: Time to hear from the presentations, starting with Jos Buttler: "Fantastic game of cricket. Credit to Shai Hope. We asked a lot of questions and they played really well at the back end to chase those down. [Posted 325] Thought it was fantastic batting effort. Loved the intent, set the tone at the top. They pegged us back at bit, we found the wicket a bit tricky, and it needed a fantastic effort to chase them down. [Personal form] You always want to play well, keep working hard and trust it will come back. Brilliant game, credit to Shai and Romario, some fantastic sixes and we'll learn a lot. Thought Rehan bowled really well and there was a lot to be proud of. Some things we can do better moving on to the next one."
West Indies captain Shai Hope is Player of the Match for his unbeaten 109 from 83: "As you say, in a winning cause, that's all I play for. Talking to MS Dhoni, he said 'you always have a lot more time than you think'. Played a lot of ODI cricket, always back myself to win in any position. [Shepherd] He was amazing, one of those guys you can depend on. We got the win, want to continue the series on a high. [Bowling effort] Their openers played really well, any time we were off line they scored boundaries. We had a few dropped catches, so we've got things to improve. We want to be playing against the best. [Opening stand] Like to see those batters take responsibility. About how they can continue from this position."
5.10pm: Whoosh! Who saw that coming? Shai Hope gives West Indies hope, something to smile about today and something to build on for the future. That is West Indies' second-highest successful chase in ODIs - and the highest by any team at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Sam Curran, meanwhile, finishes with an unwanted record: most runs conceded by an Englishman in an ODI innings, narrowly saved the ignominy of bringing up his own ton. It might be a series lacking something in the way of context, but it's been given a proper kick up the backside here. West Indies 1-0 up with two to play, and England's new era looking much like the old one
Here's Sampath again with some more stats magic - Most target runs successfully chased down in the last ten overs (41-50) of a men's ODI: (where we have BBB): 109 - PAK vs BAN, 2014 Mirpur 106 - WI vs ENG, 2023 Antigua 101 - NZ vs AUS, 2005 Christchurch 101 - NZ vs IRE, 2022 Dublin 100 - IND vs WI, 2022 Port of Spain
Hope also within a shot of his hundred
Sam Curran for the 49th, WI needing 19 from 12 to pull off the highest chase at this ground
END OF OVER:48 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | WI: 307/6 (19 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 6.39, RRR: 9.50)

Doosra: "Good old Forecaster! About as useful as a chocolate fire-guard!!" The more you sledge them, the wilder their predictions become...
