The sun is out
1042: The good news for those of you frustrated at the first ODI's washout at Headingley is that it's hot and sunny at Bristol. England's fielders run out, we're ready to rumble.

1040: Now then, for those of you watching this on the website, if you press F5 to refresh the page, the live BBC video scorecard will magically appear at the top of the page.

Alec Stewart
Former England skipper Alec Stewart on TMS: "I've met Morgan a couple of times this summer - he seems a very relaxed individual, who doesn't get too stressed. But he got a one-day hundred at Canterbury which was excellent."

1034: Here's the Windies team - captain Chris Gayle is playing his 200th ODI, while all-rounders Dwayne Bravo and Darren Sammy are back after missing the Tests.

West Indies: Chris Gayle (capt), Lendl Simmons, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin (wk), Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor, Ravi Rampaul, Sulieman Benn.

1031: Here's the England team news: England have left out Ryan Sidebottom and Ian Bell, and have rejigged their batting order once more - Matt Prior is in at three. West Indies have preferred Ravi Rampaul to fellow paceman Fidel Edwards.

England: Andrew Strauss (capt), Ravi Bopara, Matt Prior (wk), Owais Shah, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, Tim Bresnan, James Anderson.

1028: Right - England have won the toss and will field first. Eoin Morgan will make his England debut (though not his international debut, having already played 23 ODIs for his native Ireland). Full teams in a minute.

1020: Morning, everyone. It's a big day of sport here, I've never seen the office so abuzz on a Sunday. The final day of the Premier League and the SPL, the League One play-off final, the Monaco Grand Prix and the start of the French Open tennis... but hopefully if you've made it here, you're more concerned about the second ODI between England and West Indies. A warm welcome.


And it's also my first go with the new, auto-updating text commentary - so please be gentle with me.
