Yeah I'm looking forward to the white ball reset under Harry Brook. Hopefully Jos Buttler without the burden of captaincy can find his mojo. The West Indies should create an entertaining series in both ODI and T20.

A convincing victory for England with Brook there new captain, who contributed 58 runs & 5 catches with some good plans executed well by all the bowlers.
West Indies bowled poorly after electing to field, straying in line & length which allowed the new opening pair of Smith & Duckett to get off to a flyer. 90 run came from the first 10 overs & despite wickets falling they were able to score freely without taking too many risks. Man of the match Bethell in partnership with Jacks accelerated at the back end to post an improbable target.

Jamie Overton will play no further part in the ODI series after sustaining a broken finger in the first game at Edgbaston.
