Preamble
Hello world! A rare over-by-over report for me tonight (be kind) as England look to win this five-match T20 series at the earliest available opportunity. That would be a welcome return to form for Jos Buttler and co after the ODI series defeat here in the West Indies.
Buttler spoke last week about the threat of losing the England captaincy after the T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to India and so a strong performance here, under the stewardship of Brendon McCullum is absolutely imperative. England will be going all out for a whitewash T20 series win, especially after the ODI failure.
After the feel-good match-winning performances in Barbados of Phil Salt and Jacob Bethall – two England players that were raised on the island – we turn now to St Lucia for the third T2o. Based upon the below video, it looks absolutely awful there right now. Both the fourth and fifth T20s of this series will also be played here.
Play starts at 8pm GMT, or 3pm if you are lucky enough to be in St Lucia.
