That's a wrap:

Thanks for following our coverage of the first ODI between West Indies and England. More cricketing action is in store in the hours to follow. The New Zealand-South Africa decided starts in a few hours, followed by the second Test between India and Australia. There's also the Ireland-UAE ODI. No dearth of cricketing action, so join us soon.

Post Match presentations:

Eoin Morgan - Player of the Match | captain, England: "I've enjoyed my cricket since the (latest) BBL which is a fantastic tournament. It was very hard on this wicket but everyone felt that. The top order set it well so that the middle order could come and enforce itself, and [Ben] Stokes did exactly that. A very convincing performance with the bat and the ball, and in the field. Hopefully we will continue like this. Sam Billings has been working hard on his game and his class came to the fore today. Ben Stokes is fully fit to bowl but we felt that the spinners were more fit to bowl (in the middle overs). The ball sticks in the pitch for left-handers and shots off the front foot are hard. We showed today that we can adapt."

Jason Holder - captain, West Indies: "We lost 3 wickets for 3 runs. In the end, we should have kept our wickets intact. Quite a few soft dismissals. Sam (Billings) played a good innings and took the spinners off their lines and lengths. It was a good partnership between Jason and Carter. Very encouraging (signs)."

England win by 45 runs:

Ashley Nurse sent a couple past the fence before he fell to Woakes while Plunkett dismissed Gabriel as West Indies were bowled out for 251. Both Woakes and Plunkett finished with four wickets apiece to star in England's 45-run victory that helped them take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Ben Stokes didn't bowl at all in the innings, but on a pitch where spinners should have thrived, Woakes and Plunkett shared eight wickets between them.

Quick wickets derail WI:

Advantage England now as Holder and Mohammed depart. Outside edge to the 'keeper and Plunkett bags his third by dismissing Holder. Mohammed departs soon after, run out for 73 as West Indies slip to 210 for 7 after 42 overs.

Plunkett strikes:

Tilting the balance in favour of England was Plunkett, who struck in the 39th over to dismiss Carter for a 47-ball 52. It was a mistimed pull that went against the wind and Roy did well to put in the dive and hang on to the ball. West Indies are 190 for 5.

Carter also crosses fifty:

There was a hint of Brian Lara when Carter executed a one-legged pull off Plunkett which helped him bring up a 44-ball 50. West Indies need 114 more from 78. Can they get there?

Fifty for Mohammed, WI cross 150:

Mohammed and Carter are trying to keep West Indies in the hunt with a good stand. After the former brings up his maiden ODI fifty, the latter scores a six off Joe Root to help West Indies past 150 and bring up yet another half-century stand. West Indies are 161 for 4 after 34.

End of another promising stand:

As has been the case with most of the partnerships in this game, the Hope-Mohammed stand has also come to an abrupt end. Hope is the one to depart, cutting a Rashid delivery to backward point where Steven Finn hold on to a good catch to end a 69-run partnership. West Indies are 108 for 4 after 25.

Fifty-run partnership:

Mohammed gets going with a couple of boundaries off Moeen Ali. The half-century partnership comes up in the 21st over, off 56 deliveries. West Indies are 90 for 3.

Watchful stand:

Hope and Mohammed trying to repair the innings with a watchful partnership. Hope has scored at a strike rate of over 80 while it has been slow going for Mohammed, who has a strike rate of less than 44. West Indies are 66 for 3 after 18 overs.

Second wicket for Woakes:

Cutters are working well for Woakes - he bags his second wicket by tricking Kraigg Brathwaite into a pull. West Indies have lost three wickets for only three runs and and are in a lot of trouble now. They are 39 for 3 in the 12th over.

Another wicket:

Kieran Powell fails in his comeback game, gets a leading edge to Jason Roy at point to give Liam Plunkett a wicket in his first over. West Indies are 37 for 2 in the 11th over. Shai Hope comes in, can he offer any hope for West Indies?

Lewis falls after promising start:

The openers were looking comfortable at the crease, hardly troubled by the England bowlers, before a cutter from Chris Woakes helped England bag their first wicket. Evin Lewis, early into a pull, miscued the ball and handed a catch to Billings at deep square-leg. West Indies are 36 for 1 in the 10th over.
