England vs West Indies

ENGLAND 174-9 (ATKINSON 2, POTTS 2) OVERS: 37

Just a couple of singles off Motie's last over.

ENGLAND 172-9 (ATKINSON 1, POTTS 1) OVERS: 36

Potts gets off the mark. These two will just try to get to 40 overs now.

ENGLAND 171-9 (CURRAN c MOTIE b JOSEPH 12) OVERS: 35.2

Joseph gets his third wicket as Motie catches the ball at wide third man as current doesn't get enough on an attempted cut over the point boundary.

ENGLAND 171-8 (CURRAN 12, ATKINSON 1) OVERS: 35

Motie with another tight over with just three singles. Five overs left now.

ENGLAND 168-8 (CURRAN 10, ATKINSON) OVERS: 34

Eight off the over with three wides, but Joseph did get the crucial wicket.

ENGLAND 166-8 (REHAN c HOPE b JOSEPH 15) OVERS: 33.5

Rehan backs away and looks to swat a short ball over the covers but edges behind.

ENGLAND 160-7 (CURRAN 8, REHAN 12) OVERS: 33

Nice over from Cariah, beating the outside of Rehan's bat with a perfect leg spinner with the third ball.

WE ARE BACK UNDERWAY...

Joseph to bowl the 34th over.

2235: WE ARE DOWN TO A 40-OVER GAME

This is assuming we get back underway in the next ten minutes.

2225: THE COVERS ARE COMING OFF...

No promises but hopefully more cricket soon.

England will have less overs to bat, we're not sure how many yet.

Here's a reminder of all the cricket you can catch on TNT Sports:

AND THE COVERS ARE BACK ON...

It is not heavy rain, but we will have to wait and see how long the players will be off.

ENGLAND 160-7 (CURRAN 8, REHAN 12) OVERS: 33

Nice over from Cariah, beating the outside of Rehan's bat with a perfect leg spinner with the third ball.

ENGLAND 158-7 (CURRAN 7, REHAN 12) OVERS: 32

Forde back onto bowl for his seventh over. Just two runs off it. He can bowl two more after this.

ENGLAND 156-7 (CURRAN 6, REHAN 11) OVERS: 31

We know all about his bowling but Rehan is showing his quality with the bat, smashing another ball cleanly back over the bowler's head which was stopped just short of the boundary.

ENGLAND 152-7 (CURRAN 5, REHAN 8) OVERS: 30

Another boundary from Rehan. He connected perfectly with a lofted cover drive which flew just over the head of the fielder.

ENGLAND 147-7 (CURRAN 4, REHAN 4) OVERS: 29

A beautiful Rehan cover drive from his first delivery suggests he may be able to help Curran get England somewhere near 200.

ENGLAND 147-7 (CURRAN 4, REHAN 4) OVERS: 29

A beautiful Rehan cover drive from his first delivery suggests he may be able to help Curran get England somewhere near 200.

ENGLAND 142-7 (LIVINGSTONE c RUTHERFORD b SHEPHERD 45) OVERS: 28

Disaster for England. Joseph gave Livingstone nothing to hit and after four dot balls he smashed the next ball to mid on.

ENGLAND 140-6 (LIVINGSTONE 44, CURRAN 2) OVERS: 27

England no longer going after Cariah. You get the feeling these two want to get to the 33-over mark then attack the last ten overs.

ENGLAND 138-6 (LIVINGSTONE 43, CURRAN 1) OVERS: 26

Duckett has taken England to a position they can attack from but they desperately need Curran to give Livingstone support here if they are to get a total over 200 which they can defend.

ENGLAND 137-6 (DUCKETT c KING b SHEPHERD 71) OVERS: 25.1

Shepherd comes back into bowl and gets Duckett first ball. A cross-seamed delivery bounces more than the England batsman anticipates and he hits straight to shot mid-wicket.

ENGLAND 137-5 (DUCKETT 71, LIVINGSTONE 43) OVERS: 25

Cariah replaces Motie and beats Livingstone who looked to slog sweep for six and was fortunate the ball spun away from the off stump when it struck him. The last ball Livingstone goes back to the same shot and just clears Shepherd and the boundary.

ENGLAND 128-5 (DUCKETT 69, LIVINGSTONE 36) OVERS: 24

Surprisingly Joseph stays on for another over but he bowls well and should have had Livingstone caught at square leg but Carty dropped a straight-forward chance. Livingstone then nudges past the vacant slips region for a boundary to end the over.

ENGLAND 121-5 (DUCKETT 67, LIVINGSTONE 31) OVERS: 23

The plan remains the same. Get what is possible off Motie and then attack the other end.

ENGLAND 118-5 (DUCKETT 65, LIVINGSTONE 30) OVERS: 22

Joseph back into bowl and the first delivery is a buffet ball on leg stump which Duckett hits for six over long leg. The next is powered cross-batted towards cow corner for four. Livingstone then clears square leg with a huge hit from a straight bowl in the slot.

ENGLAND 101-5 (DUCKETT 54, LIVINGSTONE 24) OVERS: 21

He hasn't played many sweeps Duckett after getting out early in the series with the shot but he has the confidence to do so now to Motie. One ball explodes off the surface leading Livingstone to smile after defending it. The hundred comes up off 126 balls. They have scored at an even pace throughout.

ENGLAND 97-5 (DUCKETT 52, LIVINGSTONE 22) OVERS: 20

Duckett reaches his fifty off 56 balls. No mean feat as wickets have fallen at the other end.

ENGLAND 91-5 (DUCKETT 48, LIVINGSTONE 20) OVERS: 19

Aniother economical Motie over.

ENGLAND 88-5 (DUCKETT 47, LIVINGSTONE 18) OVERS: 18

A better over from Cariah, even when he overstepped on the fifth ball he beat Livingstone in the flight from the next so the free hit was not costly.

ENGLAND 84-5 (DUCKETT 45, LIVINGSTONE 17) OVERS: 17

It is pretty clear they will just look to see out Motie and score elsewhere.

ENGLAND 81-5 (DUCKETT 43, LIVINGSTONE 16) OVERS: 16

Cariah comes onto bowl for this first time in the innings. Duckett hits the second ball for four dispatching an over-pitched ball through the off side. Livingstone more streaky hitting looking to hit down the ground but it spins towards the extra cover boundary. 10 runs in all off it.

ENGLAND 71-5 (DUCKETT 38, LIVINGSTONE 10) OVERS: 15

They are taking no risks with Motie at this stage.

ENGLAND 69-5 (DUCKETT 37, LIVINGSTONE 10) OVERS: 14

England's first boundary in a while as Livingstone pulls Joseph in front of square. 11 runs off the over in all.

ENGLAND 58-5 (DUCKETT 32, LIVINGSTONE 4) OVERS: 13

The first over from Motie. England just looking to build a partnership patiently now.

ENGLAND 55-5 (DUCKETT 30, LIVINGSTONE 2) OVERS: 12

Livingstone whacks a short ball but he did not time it and the ball hit high on the back. He was fortunate it was against the wind and it did not reach the man at deep backward square leg.

ENGLAND 51-5 (DUCKETT 28, LIVINGSTONE 1) OVERS: 11

Duckett a little more circumspect now and you can't blame him. England's fifty is up. Not a cause for celebration.

ENGLAND 49-5 (DUCKETT 27, LIVINGSTONE 0) OVERS: 10

What a big over that was for the West Indies. Could well be game turning.

ENGLAND 49-5 (BUTTLER c MOTIE b JOSEPH 0) OVERS 9.4

Buttler goes for a golden duck. It was a short ball from Joseph which he top-edged down to long leg where Motie took the catch.

ENGLAND 48-4 (BROOK run out 1) OVERS 9.2

Brook nudged to the leg side and ran for a single but Joseph fielding off his own bowling through down the stumps at the bowler's end. A little stutter from Brook was fatal.

ENGLAND 47-3 (DUCKETT 25, BROOK 1) OVERS: 9

ENGLAND 45-3 (JACKS c HOPE b FORDE 17) OVERS 8.1

The dream start continues. This time Jacks nicks behind. Good length or just short of a length balls are hard to play on this surface and this one was feathered outside off stump.

ENGLAND 45-2 (JACKS 17, DUCKETT 24) OVERS: 8

Duckett hits fours from three of the first four balls. The first was thanks to awful fielding at long leg from Forde, letting the ball slip through him and the next a wide full ball Duckett smashed to the cover boundary. Another boundary came from a short wide ball Duckett hit through the covers once more.

ENGLAND 33-2 (JACKS 17, DUCKETT 12) OVERS: 7

Jacks doesn't quite time a lofted drive over the top but the retreating mid on cannot get to the ball.

ENGLAND 27-2 (JACKS 13, DUCKETT 10) OVERS: 6

Jacks begins by crashing another over the covers. He was beaten by the third ball outside off stump though.

ENGLAND 20-2 (JACKS 7, DUCKETT 9) OVERS: 5

Almost a third wicket as Jacks misjudges a ball slightly short of a length which bounces just short of midwicket. The pitch is playing tricks.

ENGLAND 19-2 (JACKS 6, DUCKETT 9) OVERS: 4

Duckett rocks on the back foot and pulls for four, adding another couple with a drive past mid off.

ENGLAND 11-2 (JACKS 6, DUCKETT 1) OVERS: 3

An incredible start to an international career.

ENGLAND 8-2 (CRAWLEY c ATHANAZE b FORDE 0) OVERS 2.4

What a start for Forde! This one a strange dismissal as the ball caught the glove of Crawley as he was looking to pull out of a shot looping up for an easy catch to Athanaze in the slips.

ENGLAND 8-1 (JACKS 4, CRAWLEY 0) OVERS: 2

Again just one scoring shot, this one with Jacks hitting straight down the ground along the floor from a Shepherd ball which was a little too full.

ENGLAND 4-1 (SALT c JOSEPH b FORDE 4) OVERS: 1

Matthew Forde gets the new cherry on his debut and takes a wicket with the final ball. The second ball was short and smashed to the boundary by Salt square of the wicket. The last one was full and punched into the air by Salt to mid off where Joseph caught the ball moving to this right and stretching forwards. They had to check it but it is out.

1926 - AMBROSE PREDICTS SOME BOUNCE...

This will encourage England if it does come to pass. It has been a spinner's pitch at Bridgetown in recent years.

1920: TEAM NEWS - ONE CHANGE FOR EACH TEAM

Matthew Forde comes in for Oshone Thomas for the hosts, while Matthew Potts replaces Brydon Carse in the England XI.

West Indies: Athanaze, King, Carty, Hope, Hetmyer, Rutherford, Shepherd, Cariah, Joseph, Motie, Forde.

England: Jacks, Salt, Crawley, Duckett, Brook, Buttler, Livingstone, Curran, Ahmed, Atkinson, Potts

1916: WEST INDIES WIN THE TOSS AND OPT TO FIELD

The chasing team have won both games so far.

1910: IT WILL BE A 43-OVER MATCH

Three bowlers will be able to bowl nine overs, two can bowl a maximum of eight.

1906: TOSS COMING SHORTLY...

1900: THE TEAMS ARE WARMING UP ON THE FIELD

And there are some blue skies, hopefully this is not another false dawn.

1850: COVERS ARE COMING OFF

1840: NO SIGN OF RAIN ABATING

It is getting to the stage where the length of the match will surely be curtailed now.

1820: NO NEWS ISN'T GOOD NEWS

There's still drizzle, too much for the match to begin.

1810: A REMINDER OF HOW BUTTLER CAME BACK WITH A BANG LAST TIME OUT

1800: ANOTHER DELAY...

The covers have gone back on. This is annoying. It is not torrential, the England players are playing football in the outfield.

1745: TOSS EXPECTED IN NEXT FIVE MINUTES

1736: MATCH WILL START AT 1810

The toss go ahead in the next few minutes.

1723: THE COVERS ARE COMING OFF

Hopefully the toss will not be long away now.

1715: MATTHEW POTTS SET TO PLAY

He is expected to replace Brydon Carse.

1703: TOSS IS DELAYED

The toss will not go ahead as scheduled as the covers are not a reliable surface to flip the coin on. Hopefully the delay will not be long.

1650: THE COVERS ARE ON!

It looks like being a delayed start to coverage of the match with rain forcing the groundsmen to put covers on the wicket.

Hello and welcome!

Thanks for joining TNT Sports' coverage of the deciding third One-Day International between the West Indies and England from Bridgetown. West Indies won the first ODI last Sunday, but England came back to record a convincing win on Wednesday. Both chasing teams won so the toss may be crucial. We'll have the result of this and the teams as soon as we get them.
