No loss in overs too. All 20 for both teams.
Both national anthems done with a rousing rendition of them. We are all set. The skies look clear with blue sky around. Great news then.
We have made the changes to the Fantasy XI. Please have a look before finalizing yours.
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Rovman Powell(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein, 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, Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood
Powell: It's something we have talked about for the last few days, today is an opportunity to change that. It's about clarity, if you come out of the powerplay as England did, 70/0, the middle overs will be difficult. It's about starting well and the middle overs will take care of itself. We have a few changes due to injures - King has a niggle, Hope is in. Forde too has a niggle so Alzarri comes in and Hetmyer replaces Rutherford. [on Alzarri] He has been the spearhead of our attack, ever since I became captain, he will be vital, we will look to him not only to control the powerplay but also to take wickets.
Buttler: We are going to bowl first again. Little bit of weather around and chasing has been good so far. Remember it being a very good cricket wicket, we need to start well, West Indies are a top side and we have to be right on it. We have had some near-misses in the recent past, we will start fresh, 0/0. We have one change - Rehan in for Adil Rashid.
England have won the toss and have opted to field
