WI VS ENG - 2nd T20I, England tour of West Indies, 2024

Three more games to go in this series, and West Indies are staring at a difficult task from here. The toss went against them in both matches, which definitely was a factor, but England have also made the most of the conditions. Their bowlers were right on the money early on and then Buttler found his rhythm with the bat, hitting it to all parts. The action now moves to St Lucia for the remainder of the series. That's all from this one. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Vinod, Kumar Abhisekh Das and Akshay Maanay. Goodbye!

Powell: It's a trend in Barbados. Teams win the toss and bowl because of what it offers in the first six. It's just a case of us trying to come out of the powerplay not three down. If you look at the stats, if you lose three in the powerplay, you end up on the losing side. Case of somebody in the top four batting majority of the overs. It's something we think about and something I try to rectify as captain. St Lucia provides a new challenge. Hopefully guys will be ready with the series on the line. If you find a win, you set up the series nicely.

Buttler: Great to spend some time in the middle. Bit scratchy in the first few balls but managed to come through that period. I've got lots of experience. Have batted in different positions. At number three, you can come in second ball or outside the powerplay. He's got unbelievable talent (Will Jacks). Can play shots not many others can. He played really smart. Realised I was going after the bowling and gave me the strike. Has played a lot of franchise cricket. On this ground it seems to be an advantage bowling first. There was a bit of movement. He's pretty unique (Mousley).. Not many guys bowl like he does. One of his biggest attributes is his character. Always wants the ball, always want to be in the hotspots in the field.

19:13 Local Time, 23:13 GMT, 04:43 IST: England go 2-0 up in the series after another comprehensive run-chase like it was yesterday evening. It was an excellent toss to win with the pitch offering quite a bit of help for the bowlers early on. Seamers got it to nip around, and the spinners found a good amount of purchase thanks to the moisture that was present. And the visitors made the most of it with the likes of Archer, Mahmood, Livingstone and Rashid causing plenty of problems. A late flourish with the bat took West Indies to 158, but with the pitch easing out as the match went on, and dew being a factor as well, it was a struggle for their bowlers. Making things worse was Jos Buttler in full flow. He took a bit of time to get in before taking the bowling attack to the cleaners.

Shepherd to Livingstone, SIX, and he finishes it off in style! Low full toss outside off, Livingstone swings hard and muscles it over the cover boundary as England smash down the target with more than five overs to spare

Shepherd to Livingstone, FOUR, this is hit very hard. Back of a length delivery wide of off, Livingstone throws his bat at it and slaps it fiercely to the cover boundary

Shepherd to Livingstone, FOUR, looks to go for the wide yorker but it's right in the slot outside off. Livingstone goes hard and crunches it wide of long-off. Just eight more needed for England

Shepherd to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, slower short ball outside off, pulled to deep midwicket

Shepherd to Livingstone, 1 run, 130.8kph, nails the yorker just outside off and Livingstone squeezes it into the off-side

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, 1 run, miscued off the toe-end but lands well short of long-off! Full and very wide outside off, Livingstone goes hard but barely manages to reach it. Ends up slicing it in the air in front of Shepherd at the boundary

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, wide, again goes for a wide yorker but it's way too wide

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, FOUR, low full toss wide of off, Livingstone goes after it, opens the face and slices it past short third. Looks like Hinds is trying to execute his wide yorker. He misses the mark this time

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, wide, way too wide outside off, left alone

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, no run, good length outside off, Livingstone mistimes the drive into the off-side

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, byes, FOUR, poor from Pooran behind the stumps. Didn't look like he was concentrating well enough. Full delivery just outside off, Livingstone looks to launch it down the ground but it tails in and beats him on the inside edge. However, Pooran is not up to it. He clumsily looks to grab it with his left hand but gets nowhere near it

Terrance Hinds to Jacob Bethell, 1 run, 134.5kph, overpitched outside off, driven to deep cover

Terrance Hinds to Livingstone, 1 run, 136.7kph, short of length outside off, Livingstone pulls it to deep midwicket
