How to watch the ODI cricket match between West Indies and England, as well as start time and team news.
On Saturday, the West Indies will face England in the second One-Day International of their ongoing three-match series on Caribbean soil. This game is a crucial chance for an England team missing Jos Buttler to grab a win and keep their hopes alive in the series.
Under the leadership of Shai Hope, the West Indies opened the series with a commanding performance, defeating England by eight wickets in the first ODI in Antigua. Despite resilient efforts from stand-in captain Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran, the visitors were held to just 209 runs. This was largely due to an outstanding four-wicket spell from left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie. Jayden Seales also shone for the West Indies, delivering a tight spell with figures of two for 22 from his eight overs.
