Build up to the World Cup is well under way, and we have the 1st ODI of a 5 match series, to be followed by a 3 match T20 series.

The England squad is pretty settled, although clearly there will need to be serious consideration of incorporating Jofra Archer when he becomes available for selection in March/April.

England rested Jos Buttler for their warm-up match on Sunday but he is set to slot back in ahead of Alex Hales. Chris Woakes got through seven overs against the UWI Vice-Chancellor's XI, having struggled for fitness during the Test leg of the tour, while Mark Wood was preferred as his new-ball partner, which could mean David Willey and Tom Curran are the bowlers to miss out.

England: (probable) 1 Jason Roy, 2 Jonny Bairstow, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Liam Plunkett, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark Wood

Morgan is a useless tosser, West Indies will bat first on what looks like a belter.

Mark Wood steaming in... just needs to tweak the radar

1.1 Wood to Gayle, no run, some swing, this straightens to rap Gayle on the back leg...! Think it was going over, just a strangled appeal from the England players
1.3 Wood to Gayle, no run, back of a length, thudding into Gayle's (presumably diamante encrusted) box. Oof... The big man gives it a rub and prepares to go again
1.6 Wood to Campbell, no run, nipping back, Wood looking sharp again, this clips the back thigh pad as Campbell fails to get his bat down in time

9-0 (2 overs)

Good catch by Moeen Ali at square leg... Campbell gone pulling at a short one from Woakes... out for 30.

Gayle is rather becalmed on 6* (23 balls)

38-1 (8.3 overs)

Always feel as though his innings is liable to explode at any minute.....hugely dangerous in short form cricket.

Gayle is hitting the England bowlers out of the park... literally.

Just hit a thick edge for six... 93 off 93 balls.

213-2 (32 overs)

Welcome
West Indies v England (15:00 GMT)
You might have heard but England are favourites for a World Cup on home soil this year.
Eoin Morgan's side have two ODI series and a couple of warm-up games to fine tune everything and make sure they live up to that tag.
And it all starts here with a five-match series against West Indies.
Here we go...


More like "there we go " by the look of things, I don't fancy us for The Ashes or the World Cup after the last month.

69-0 already ahead of the Run Rate, don't recognise 50 over cricket these days!

I know England are motoring at the moment but think the bookies have got the in play betting incorrect
After all this will be a record chase and England currently 4/9 and West Indies 7/4
Obviously want England to win but lay England at those odds all day long
