Key events
It’s been a productive fortnight for English cricket against the West Indies.
The women’s team, thanks largely to Nat Sciver-Brunt, secured a clean sweep over the Islanders in their ODI series.
Raf Nicholson was there to see what new head coach, Charlotte Edwards, called a “ruthless and clinical” display.
Hello and welcome to this second men’s T20 between England and West Indies.
The last one went pretty well for the home side as Jos Buttler clobbered 96 before Liam Dawson snaffled four wickets in a 21 run win.
That was Harry Brook’s fourth win from four matches in charge. And after England’s white ball outfit managed just six wins from 24 ODIs and six from the 14 T20s before Brook’s ascension, it’s just as well “It’s Harry’s team now,” as Will Jacks recently put it.
Not that they’ve been tested much. The Windies really haven’t got out of second gear and, for England’s sake, as well as everyone watching, I hope they manage to raise their standards and show some fight today.
The toss, team news and other bits to come.
Play gets underway at 2:30pm.
Do get in touch with any thoughts you have.
