England vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score, 1st ODI: Toss has been delayed in Manchester due to a wet outfield. Both England and West Indies have plenty to play for in this five match ODI series that begins as a day-nighter in Manchester. For England the series is a chance to build towards the World Cup in their own backyard in two year’s time. But the series takes a whole lot meaning for West Indies who need an extremely positive outcome if they are to edge Sri Lanka to qualify automatically for the extravaganza. Their Test series finished 2-1 in favour of England despite Shai Hope’s heroics in the second Test and West Indies added a win in the shortest format – their strongest avenue – to give themselves a positive edge coming into the ODIs. Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels are back for West Indies and their return would be a major boost to the side. Jonny Bairstow will open for England is one detail we already know.
