MEN’S CRICKET:

England meet the West Indies in Barbados tomorrow evening for the deciding leg of their three match one-day series.

The Windies cruised to an eight wicket (DLS method) win in the first game before new captain Liam Livingstone smashed nine sixes in an unbeaten 124 that sealed England’s five wicket success on Saturday.

The West Indies are ranked as the world’s 10th best one-day team, three places below England.

Absurde in fifth was the best placed of the European-based challengers with much-fancied Vauban, partnered by William Buick, finishing eleventh.
