- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.6 chipped to mid-off, Forde has a wicket on debut! Looks like Joseph got his hands under the ball, and West Indies celebrate - although Salt is unmoved and will wait for the TV umpire to check this. There's only one really good angle but it definitely looks like fingers are clutching the ball as he stoops to take it, and up goes the finger again! Forde strikes in his opening over as a West Indies international 4/18.1 and he's nipped out another! Jacks is back in his box! Excellent line, straightening and climbing just outside off as Jacks attempts to open the face and only succeeds in tickling an edge behind. It's like a production line from Forde on debut 45/32.4 oh boy, he's got another! Crawley caught at slip attempting to leave! That's unplayable bounce from a length. Forde has his second in as many overs and the forecast for a potentially sticky start has come to pass. Good areas and the ball just takes off, cannoning into Crawley's
upright batas he looked to let it go. Came off the glove, actually. Dolly of a catch for second slip and England are in strife 8/225.1 length ball, spooned to midwicket! Duckett is crestfallen as he presents a simple catch to the man inside the ring. Pretty innocuous ball but his timing was off as he worked across it and the ball looped up gently to King walking in. Shepherd breaks the recovery stand with his first ball back 137/69.2 back of a length, turned into the leg side... and Joseph throws down the stumps at the non-striker's! Brook is gone! Superb work from the big man, hurtling down and pirouetting to fire off a throw with Brook stretching for the line. There was just the briefest hesitation from Brook, which did for him. Everything coming off for West Indies so far today 48/49.4 dug in and top-edged down the gullet of fine leg! Buttler's gone for a golden duck and England are five down inside the first ten overs! The renaissance in form last one innings as England's captain trudges off almost as soon as he walked in. Not all Joseph's own work this time, but he'll take the notch in the wickets column 49/527.6 miscued slap and Livingstone falls! He gave it the gallop, looking to launch over the on-side, but could only toe-end his shot straight to mid-on. A decent hand in the rebuild, but he's fallen at a crucial juncture for his team 142/735.2 suckers Curran with a slower one, smashed to deep point! Short and wide from Joseph but bowled as an offcutter, meaning Curran could not generate enough power. A flail into the off side but well short of going where he wanted, taken by Motie jogging in 171/933.5 short of a length and tickled behind! Rehan makes room for a bottom-handed swipe to leg but only manages a thin top edge through to Hope! Joseph's tactics are spot on and England lose their eighth wicket 166/8Extras6 (nb 2, w 4)TOTAL206/9 (40 Overs, RR: 5.15)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Phil Salt, 0.6 ov), 2-8 (Zak Crawley, 2.4 ov), 3-45 (Will Jacks, 8.1 ov), 4-48 (Harry Brook, 9.2 ov), 5-49 (Jos Buttler, 9.4 ov), 6-137 (Ben Duckett, 25.1 ov), 7-142 (Liam Livingstone, 27.6 ov), 8-166 (Rehan Ahmed, 33.5 ov), 9-171 (Sam Curran, 35.2 ov)Bowling O M R W Econ 0s 4s 6s WD NB MW Forde 8 0 29 3 3.62 28 2 0 0 0 R Shepherd 8 0 50 2 6.25 27 8 0 0 1 AS Joseph 8 0 61 3 7.62 19 4 3 3 0 G Motie 8 0 23 0 2.87 26 0 0 0 0 Y Cariah 8 0 43 0 5.37 22 2 1 1 1

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.6 pinned plumb in front! Atkinson nails Athanaze on the shin with a 141kph/88mph full delivery and wins the decision from Leslie Riefer. Athanaze eventually reviews but the look on his face tells you plenty - and Hawk-Eye confirms it would have smashed into middle and off stumps halfway up. Second scalp for Atkinson, keeps England interested 78/21.2 flogged through the line, straight at short cover! Extra bounce from the good length, King couldn't control the stroke, hit high on the bat and straight into Jacks' waiting hands. Atkinson with the first breakthrough once more 2/125.4 takes a step into the drive, and chips a return catch to Jacks! Huge moment, Jacks perhaps saw him coming, held his length back a fraction, then stooped across his crease to pouch the offering in both hands. Fifty and out for Carty and now England sense their chance 135/616.5 hard-spun googly, Hope picks out midwicket! England get their man, Rehan doing the business. First failure of the series for Hope, who seemed to read the delivery well enough but couldn't keep it down looking to work a single. Good tumbling take from Potts. Will that induce any nerves for the home side? 99/321.1 flashes a cut but picks out the man! Loose from Hetmyer and West Indies lose another, Jacks into the action. Maybe a hint of extra bounce, there was room to play the shot but he couldn't keep the ball down. Well held by his bootstraps by Salt at point 116/423.2 holes out to wide long-on! Rutherford attempts to unleash, but he never got hold of the stroke, nicely flighted from Jacks, dipping on the stroke and never looked like clearing the man in the deep, two metres in from the rope. Now West Indies are in some strife 122/5Extras11 (b 1, lb 2, w 8)TOTAL191/6 (31.4 Overs, RR: 6.03)Fall of wickets: 1-2 (Brandon King, 1.2 ov), 2-78 (Alick Athanaze, 13.6 ov), 3-99 (Shai Hope, 16.5 ov), 4-116 (Shimron Hetmyer, 21.1 ov), 5-122 (Sherfane Rutherford, 23.2 ov), 6-135 (Keacy Carty, 25.4 ov)
