    6.6 King takes a stinger! Superb work at short midwicket. No celebration from Joseph. Back of a length again from Joseph, and a full-blooded pull into the leg side from Smith. But King's reflexes are sharp, and he throws himself to his left to take an excellent reaction catch in tight. West Indies break the partnership 64/1
    19.1 stunning one-handed pluck at backward point! Wow, that's a grab, vertical take-off, shades of Collingwood in 2005, as Duckett slapped into a cut once more but didn't quite get hold of it. It was still travelling though, and gaining height as it went. But Chase timed his leap and plucked it down at full stretch! 137/2
    26.6 driven, and finds the edge! Wide line, full length, Root was drawn into an open-faced crash, on the up, but he was reaching and didn't quite find the alignment. The pace does the needful to prise a much-needed opening! 188/3
    30.6 smashed at deep cover! Carty clings on superbly, diving into the ball as Brook utterly nailed it on the up once more. Made room to leg, flogged it with such power. But picked out the sweeper, who made no mistake! The end of an innings that was just threatening to get truly violent. 221/4
    40.2 short and wide again, flubbed to deep midwicket via the toe end! Another England batter gets in and gets out. Looks to drag cross-batted into the Hollies, but it's right off the toe and straight into Matthew Forde's hands. Simple catch, Seales has a third. Slower one, which deceived Buttler 287/5
    49.1 feathered through to Hope! No hundred for Bethell today either, but he has played a brilliant innings of 82 off 53 to take England towards 400. Looked to slap hard over the off side, but it was a fraction wider than he anticipated, and he could only get a thin edge on it 393/8
    47.3 slower ball, into the pitch. Jacks looks to pull and gets a thin edge through to Hope! No celebration, which makes for an anticlimactic ending after a sprightly innings 385/6
    48.2 another belting catch from Roston Chase! Banged in halfway down, wide outside off stump. Overton looks to swipe leg-side, and gets a thick top edge... Chase, running back from mid-on, dives at full stretch and gobbles it up! An England batter falls short of 30, for the first time today 391/7

    3.5 absolute snorter from Carse! That's a Test-match dismissal, which augurs well for challenges to come. Shaping in, perfect length, shaping away and climbing off the seam, taking a splinter out of the splice as it goes by. West Indies in strife now! 17/2
    2.3 simple punch through the line! That's a poor shot and a simple take for the skipper at mid-off. The epitome of a nothing shot. In the air all the way, but no power behind the stroke to justify it. Mahmood is rewarded for hammering his length 8/1
    9.2 floppy dismissal! That's a really poor way to go, but due reward for Mahmood's relentless line and length. Tries to pull him off his length, but merely splices it to mid-off where Brook bags his second dolly of the afternoon 53/3
    11.3 stunning take on the boundary's edge from Carse! Surprise bouncer from Mahmood, and Hope swings into an instinctive pull. He's late on the stroke, encouraging Carse to rush in, anticipating a top-edge. But, in fact, he has nailed it hard and flat, so the fielder is forced to leap into a cramped, reflexive grab in his outstretched right hand, blowing him off his feet as it does so! Stokes-esque, but technically, might even have been harder to pull off! 66/4
    14.1 Air Brook! Full-stretch dive to his left at short cover, and clings on to give Bethell a wicket. Width outside off stump and Andrew looked to slap through the off side, but without enough conviction or control to beat the man in tight. Sharp work from the England captain 79/5
    18.5 picks out Brook at short midwicket again! Googly, wide outside off. Jangoo looks to go over the leg side but his timing is awry, and Brook gobbles up another. West Indies sink further 102/7
    17.3 back of a length, Chase hits into the breeze, and picks out Jacks at deep square leg! The mouse nibbles at the cheese, and the trap slams shut. Not much subtlety about the plan or the field-set, but Chase takes it on regardless and pays the price. England closing in 97/6
    19.1 it's very, very on! The short ball works again for Overton. Banged in halfway down, and Forde looks to hook over square leg. He only manages a steepling top edge, which loops down to Mahmood at deep third. Simple catch, two more needed! 102/8
    21.5 slower ball, deceived in the flight... Brook has a five-for of catches! That equals the record for a fielder in ODIs, set by Jonty Rhodes back in 1993. Motie looked to swing hard down the ground, and Brook settled underneath the skier in the point region. Smart bowling from Overton 124/9

    26.2 cleaned up with the wrong 'un! West Indies' fun is over, and England have wrapped up a commanding win by 238 runs. Absolute domination at Edgbaston to get the new white-ball era underway... just like in 2015, albeit against much weaker opposition! 162/10
