Well played skipper Livingstone.
Well played Sir.

England win despite a shambles in the field. To start with, they selected the wrong side, how do you explain failing to bat a full 50 overs in the 1st ODI & stumbling past 200, & you replace Jamie Overton who batted at 8 made a first ball duck, still not fit to bowl, & you bring in Mahmood as a front line bowler. Nine bowlers were used today, & the bowler with the best economy Archer only bowled 9 of his 10. Now given a role in the top order Livingstone can play a controlled innings & then unleash his power. 124 not out from 85 balls with 5 fours & 9 sixes.

West Indies v England 3rd ODI - Barbados
Toss - West Indies elected to bowl
England 263-8 (50 overs) Salt 74 Mousley 57 Curran 40 Archer 38 no Overton 32 Forde 3-35 Shepherd 2-33 Alzari Joseph 2-45
West Indies 267-2 (43 overs) Carty 128 no King 102
West Indies won by 8 wickets

Still totally flummoxed by the inclusion of Jamie Overton, a luxury we can't afford, a specialist batsman at NO.8. Topley also plays, Mahmood & Turner miss out.
West Indies replace Seales & Shamar Joseph with Shepherd & Alzari Joseph.
