‘We showed we can compete’ – Mohammed
West Indies won the toss and chose to bat first in the second ODI of the series against England in Antigua. England won the first ODI by 45 runs on Friday.
Both teams have named unchanged sides. That means another chance for Sam Billings at the top of the order, though Alex Hales is expected to be fit for the final ODI of the series in Barbados on Thursday. Jake Ball also trained on Sunday morning and looked well on the way to recovery having sustained a knee injury during the warm-up games in St Kitts.
The game is being played on the same pitch used for the first ODI. While there may be just a touch of life in the first half-hour or so after a wet day in Antigua on Saturday, it is anticipated that the surface will become lower and slower as the game wears on. West Indies’ spinners, who out-bowled England’s on Friday, are therefore likely to have a big role to play later in the day.
