West Indies have suffered major jolt against England after losing opener Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo off back-to-back deliveries. Hard-hitting batsman Gayle was trying to play the ball down to  fine-leg, but the ball kissed the gloves and the ball went straight to wicket-keeper Jos Buttler. Immediately after this No.3 batsman Darren Bravo walked in and edged an out swinging ball from Woakes and the catch was yet again taken by Buttler. Marlon Samuels has walked in at No.4 and he will want to build the West Indies innings along with opener Dwayne Smith. Catch the Live Blog of the match here

This is a crucial match for both teams as they try to get their combinations right ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 , which begins from February 14. England will be delighted wth the start they’ve made considering the fact that neither James Anderson nor Stuart Broad are playing. Woakes and Steven Finn have been picked to open the bowling for England. Catch the Live cricket Streaming of the match here

Earlier West Indies had won the toss and elected to bat first. Jason Holder will hope that he and his team can get some momentum going into the World Cup. England, on the other hand come off the back of a decent performance in the tri-series and will be quietly confident of putting up a good show at the World Cup, but they too cannot afford to take the warm-up matches lightly.
