England put West Indies in to bat in 2nd ODI
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, (AFP) – England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and put West Indies in to bat in the second one-day international of a three-match series at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on Wednesday.
His decision for this day/night fixture represents a reversal from the opening match on Sunday, an all-day affair, which the home side won by four wickets.
West Indies have opted for the same team which put them ahead in the contest as they pursue a first ODI series triumph over England since 2007.
Despite failing to defend a total of 325, England are also unchanged as they seek to give a generally inexperienced bowling line-up another opportunity to prove their worth in batting-friendly conditions.
