Hello and welcome to today's encounter between England and USA folks! On paper, England are clearly stronger than USA, but you saw how Australia were humbled by Afghanistan in the previous clash. So you never know!

England have won the toss and have opted to field

Pitch Report:

64m and 62m square boundaries, 74m down the ground. The pitch looks dry and it's grass-less. There are a few rough patches, but nothing alarming for the batters. A good wicket to bat on.

Chris Jordan leads his team off the field. He's no stranger to Barbados. He was born and brought up here and he's got a hat-trick here. Incredible moment for the 35-year-old.
