ENG vs WI Match Preview

After England easily won the first game of the series in Nottingham, the series really came to life in Wales when the West Indies showed up and played a real game of cricket! Unfortunately for the neutrals, England managed to win by three wickets with seven balls remaining, but it took one of Joe Root's greatest ODI innings for the hosts to secure victory and take an unassailable 2-0 lead. However, both teams should have plenty of time to bat and produce a result.

ENG vs WI Pitch Report

The Oval provides a fast track with a lot of bounce for the stroke players to enjoy. The spinners should also take advantage of the bounce, but don't expect to see much turn on a cool and humid afternoon.

ENG vs WI Weather Report

Overcast skies are expected in Ovals all day Thursday, with swing bowlers on both sides looking forward to the overheads.
