Brandon King and Lewis are at the crease. Brandon King is on strike. Jofra Archer will open the attack
The conditions are overcast and there was a bit of rain early on as well. Will the new ball aid the seamers? Archer is back in the side and straightaway has been given the new ball. One slip in place. We are ready to go..
Pitch and Conditions: "We are playing on pitch number 3. Change of potch means change in dimensions, 61 and 65 meters on either side, 72 down the ground. There is a slight distinction in the pitch color. This is slightly darker because of the rain in the morning. It might do a little bit to the seamers. It is a little bit grey overhead. Dew might also play a part later on," reckons Ian Bishop.
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran(w), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell(c), Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, Terrance Hinds
England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Will Jacks, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Dan Mousley, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood
Rovman Powell: We have to do better this time. We posted 180 but need a better flow to the innings. We have three changes. Chase gives us a 6th bowling option. Hinds makes his debut. Russell misses out due to a niggle. It is about building partnerships and not losing wickets in clusters.

Jos Buttler: We are going to bowl first again. We put in a good performance yesterday and hopefully we can do that today. Archer comes in. The leg is a bit soft but excited to be out there. Just the one change. It is an opportunity to do something different, Jacks has done well opening the batting and it gives me a chance to bat in a different spot.

15:00 Local Time, 19:00 GMT, 00:30 IST: Less than 24 hours ago Phil Salt put on a show and gave England a 1-0 in the 5-match series. West Indies recovered well after being in tatters thanks to some excellent hitting by Shepherd and Motie, but the target of 182 never troubled England. Yes, they lost Jacks and Buttler cheaply but Salt and Bethell put in a 107-run partnership in less than 10 overs to seal the victory. What does the second game have in store for us? These two teams played out a closely fought T20 series late last year and looks like this too will go down the wire. But first West Indies have to find a way to stop Salt. The England opener has smashed three hundreds within a year against them and does not seem to be stopping any time soon. Will it be another high-scoring contest? Or a low-scoring thriller like the other two games (SA v Ind, SL v NZ) today? We'll find out soon as the toss and team news isn't far away..
