It needs to be a new look as well after that pathetic debacle in the world Cup

Not new-look in terms of the players. I think they have all played one of the one day forms this year.

Butler in woeful form

Several of the old guard are missing. England 193-5 after 35 overs. Nobody making a really big score.

England made 325, Brook top scored with 71.

Good score....bowled out again.

Very good win for West Indies. Shai Hope with a century.

Ridiculously poor I thought we had that in the bag

Is this reminiscent of the red ball reset? White ball reset, a few changes but I think the bowling is a real issue for us as we really lack any xfactor with no Wood, Archer and now Rashid not featuring either.

Buttler needs a score or a break but generally I think we've got good batsmen. Curran, Carse and Atkinson are all good players but I'm not convinced any of them are leaders. Maybe we are looking to Curran to be that guy as I'm sure many see leadership potential in hum.

England win the toss and will bowl in the second ODI.

England: (unchanged) Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Brydon Carse, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson.

Probably an unchanged result too

A wicket for Curran, very good catch by Crawley. 20-2 after 5 overs.

Another one for Curran and another catch for Crawley. 23-3 in the 7th over.

Good review and it's a third wicket for Curran. 23-4 after 7 overs.

The partnership is broken as Rutherford is caught by Salt off Livingstone for 63. WI 152-5 off 30 overs.

Another one for Livingstone! 160-6 after 32 overs.

Incredible innings. 130 run partnership for the 5th wicket but all out for 202. England should chase this down, will they try and do it in about 30 overs or will it be cagey? I sense the latter with Curran or Ahmed probably having to hit the winning runs

Buttler smashing a few now, England 162-4 in the 27th over.

England won comfortably, in the 33rd over. Jacks hit 73, Buttler 58.

A much more dominant win as we've come to expect from this England side. A much needed score for Jos and good to see Brook maintain his form. Very good performance all round and something to build on. Given we won our last 2 games at the world cup, that's now 3 wins in 4 with only a remarkable innings from Hope stopping it from being 4 from 4.

Struggling to get up any interest for this TBH

I'm off to Barbados in Feb...i'd have gone along to the Oval & watched a game if one were on...but that WC nonsense just bust me

Match scheduled to begin at 19:30 BST, reduced to 43 overs each.

West Indies win the toss and bowl.

West Indies: Alick Athanaze, Brandon King, Keacy Carty, Shai Hope (c & wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde.

England: Phil Salt, Will Jacks, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Rehan Ahmed, Gus Atkinson, Matthew Potts.

Salt gone after much video scrutiny. 4-1.
