| West Indies (Playing XI) - Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Nicholas Pooran(WK), Rovman Powell(C), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, Terrance Hinds. |

| Pitch Report - The pitch has displayed a darker color and felt hard, suggesting potential assistance for seam bowlers. It could also provide some spin. With cloud cover in place, rain was a possibility later in the day, and dew conditions also play an important role. |
| Jos Buttler says they put in a good performance in the last and hopes they can do the same. He informs about the change. Adds Jacks has done well and it gives him a chance to bat in a different position.  |
| Rovman Powell says they need to do better. They posted a good score but couldn't defend it. Adds they have three changes. Mentions they need to keep the wickets in check. |

| 0.0 : A middling score then for West Indies! They have done well to get to where they are though. The wicket initially played a lot of tricks and hence, they lost three in the Powerplay. Powell and Pooran then steadied the ship but as they looked to accelerate, Pooran fell. |
| Powell continued but he too was dismissed when it was time to go big. Shepherd and Forde through have taken their side close to 160 which looked difficult at one stage. |
| Archer and Mahmood were brilliant with the new ball. Liam Livingstone was excellent in the middle overs and Dan Mousley impressred too. They'll be a tad disappointed to let Windies cross the 150-run mark but they'll back themselves to chase this. Can they make it 2-0 or will Windies fight back? We will find out. |

| A dominant performance from the visitors! What a masterclass in batting from England's captain, Jos Buttler, as he led his side to a comprehensive victory, taking a 2-0 lead in the series. Chasing a target of 159, England faced an early setback with Salt's dismissal for a golden duck. However, Buttler, alongside Will Jacks, built a formidable partnership of 129 runs off just 72 deliveries. |
| Buttler's explosive knock of 83 was pivotal, effectively dismantling the West Indies bowling attack. Although both set batsmen eventually fell, they ensured a smooth passage to victory. The West Indies bowlers struggled throughout, with Akeal Hosein claiming one wicket and Shepherd taking two, but it was not enough to halt England's momentum. |
| 0.0 : Earlier in the game, West Indies struggled to 158/8, with Rovman Powell being the standout performer. After losing early wickets, including Brandon King and Evin Lewis, they recovered somewhat with a good partnership between Powell and Nicholas Pooran. Pooran was stumped off Liam Livingstone, and the tailenders contributed crucial runs to boost the total. England's bowlers, particularly Saqib Mahmood, Dan Mousley, and Liam Livingstone were the standouts. |
| Jos Buttler, MAN OF THE MATCH! He says there's an advantage bowling first and the new ball bowlers were very good. Credits Dan Mousley for the way he bowled. States they need to start again and do well in the next game too. |
| Rovman Powell says it gets easier to bat on and the toss plays an important part. Mentions they need to lose less wickets especially earlier on. States they need someone in the top order to bat longer. States they always try to rectify their mistakes but he's looking forward for the next game. Ends by saying it's going to be hard but they need to find a win. |
| That's it from this game then! The action now shifts to St Lucia. That game will be played on the 14th. It will begin at 2000 GMT. Till then, goodbye and take care! |
