ENG vs WI Key battles:

Ben Duckett vs Jayden Seales

Ben Duckett scored a half-century in the opening game of the three-match ODI series against West Indies and will look to continue the form he has picked up by delivering another solid performance in the second game.

Duckett will have to deal with fast bowler Jayden Seales, who picked up four wickets in the first game, and will look to get the better of the left-hander to get West Indies off to a strong start.

Jos Buttler vs Alzarri Joseph

England's former white ball captain Jos Buttler was one of the two top-six batters who failed to get a fifty-plus score in the first match and would hope to correct that in the upcoming game.

Buttler will be up against Alzarri Joseph, who is one of the West Indies' most experienced bowlers in the current bowling lineup and will look to put on a match-winning performance with the ball.

Shai Hope vs Saqib Mahmood

Shai Hop was the only batter who showed some sort of fight in pursuit of a memorable target of 401 runs but wasn't able to prolong his innings. The West Indies captain would like to get things right both as the captain and batter.

Hope will go head-to-head against the pace of Saqib Mahmood, who picked up three wickets with the new ball to break the back of the West Indies chase.

Kaecy Carty vs Adil Rashid

Keycy Carty would like to put on a match-winning performance in a do-or-die clash for West Indies in the second ODI against England.

Carty will have to tackle the leg-spin of Adil Rashid, who also chipped in with a couple of wickets for the home side.

ENG vs WI Key Players:
