Welcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of the first ODI between England and West Indies, taking place on Thursday at the Edgbaston Stadium.
PREVIEW
England will take on West Indies in the first One-Day International of a three-match series at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Thursday.
The series will mark the beginning of Harry Brook’s tenure as full-time white-ball captain after taking over the reins of the team from Jos Buttler. The Three Lions are on a seven-match losing streak in ODIs, which straddles a disastrous ICC Champions Trophy campaign and a 3-0 whitewash in India earlier this year.
