Summary

Both teams tore into the bowling with a world-record 46 sixes in 98 overs of action - 24 for England, 22 for West Indies; 14 for Chris Gayle, 12 for Jos Buttler, whose innings of 150 from 77 balls was one of the most staggering onslaughts ever witnessed on the world stage.And the upshot is a series which England now have within their grasp. But there's also that thorny question of "momentum" - a nebulous concept at the best of times, and one that most teams are happy to play up or down, as it suits them.But nevertheless, with India breathing down England's necks ahead of their own ODI series against Australia, a West Indies win could open the door for a new No.1 team to be anointed going into the World Cup. Perhaps that might reduce some of the home-team pressure on Eoin Morgan's men, but to judge by their approach throughout their renaissance run of form since 2015, they are dead-set on hitting the front and staying there in every contest they play.All things being equal, England start as favourites - as well they might, given the run of form they've been on in the 50-over format in recent years - but this contest will surely be decided, as with each of the other three so far, by the team that holds its nerve for longest in what looks likely to be another daunting run-chase.England did remarkably well to chase 361 in the opening match in Barbados, eventually easing to their target with eight balls and five wickets to spare. It's still hard to see who else could make way, however, assuming that testing Russell's fitness over 50 overs is a priority before the World Cup squads are finalised next month.West Indies: (probable) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 John Campbell, 3 Shai Hope (wk), 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Jason Holder (capt), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Ashley Nurse, 9 Devendra Bishoo, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Oshane ThomasWoe betide the batsman who gives his rival a sniff of an opportunity in England's power-packed line-up.
