16:02 Local Time, 20:02 GMT, 01:32 IST: We have 60 minutes before we start losing overs. We already have consumed more than 30 minutes of that time period.
The cameras did zoom on Al Jo. He has had a few issues off the field. But he should be back. And we all know the ammunition he possesses. And I am sure he wants to prove a point or two.
15:52 Local Time, 19:52 GMT, 01:22 IST: The two onfield umpires taking a stroll. Inspecting a few patches I guess. And the covers are being dragged off. That's good news for sure.
Pitch report:
15:44 Local Time, 19:44 GMT, 01:14 IST: Interestingly, there is no rain falling. But the covers are in place.
Romario Shepherd: The way we executed with the ball, needs to be better.
15:38 Local Time, 19:38 GMT, 01:08 IST: The 22 yards has been concealed with thick sheets. It looks a little overcast.
Liam:
15:32 Local Time, 19:32 GMT, 01:02 IST: The toss has been delayed thanks to a wet outfield. There were showers and that has meant the covers are on. There is a bit of rain falling down now as well.
15:00 Local Time, 19:00 GMT, 00:30 IST: West Indies won the ODI series by a 2-1 margin, but England have taken an early lead in the T20I series by winning the first two games. Salt’s century was the highlight of the first T20I, whereas Buttler stole the show in the last game. With three matches remaining in this series, West Indies need to win today in order to keep the series alive, otherwise England will take an unassailable lead today itself. The surface in St Lucia is a good one for batting as we saw during the recently concluded CPL and the T20 World Cup before that, can expect another high-scoring encounter. It’s a do-or-die game for the Windies, so you can expect a few changes in their playing XI as well. Stay around for the toss and teams..
