Action time. England start with spin.
Salt: I enjoyed the knock, I was aware that it was job not finished. WI showed composure with the ball to pull things back and that was the difference. Their middle order was fantastic. The way that I am, pretty laid back, the way I bat, there's a lot of West Indian influence in that. I am really excited, I love to be in West Indies. It's a strong WI team. One of the best teams, really good test.
Mayers: It was good to middle a few. (Approach) Just to be natural, try to put the bowlers under pressure. It was good to watch (in the previous match). We started well, the guys executed really well. He's major, a player like him in the XI, he's fearful. Always good to have him, a maor asset to have.
Pitch Report | Nikhil Uttamchandani and Stacy-Ann King: Average first innings score is 173. There's been some rain leading into the match. The pitch - it is dry and there are some cracks. The spinners might get some turn and grip. I think it's going to be a high-scoring match.

West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell(c), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph
England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w/c), Will Jacks, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Rehan Ahmed, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills
Powell: Looks a pretty good wicket, we would have bowled if we had won the toss. We are trying our best to control the powerplay. Try to start better. One change. Motie comes in for Shepherd. He has a bit of niggle.
Buttler: We are gonna chase. Looks a good wicket, fancy to chase. We know that's WI's style, they are fantastic six-hitters, got to try and limit them. Moeen Ali is coming in for Duckett. We wanted to find a way to get back Mo.
England have won the toss and have opted to field
England rang in a few changes for the ODI team but the T20I team definitely looks more sorted. But they need to string together better performances as the T20 WC would be played here in a few months time.
