Both teams still have a lot to think about but for West Indies, with how their batting went and with Shai Hope doing well, will feel that they are moving in a better direction.

WI vs ENG Key Players

Will Jacks

Will Jacks does not have a central contract but is a player who has a strong chance of making the side across formats in the next year. The skillset he offers is pretty interesting as a hard hitting opener and a handy off-spinner.

Shimron Hetmyer

West Indies have a lot to prove in this series and Shimron Hetmyer too is one who has a task on hand. He is one of their most talented ones going around but he has not been able to prevent West Indies from their recent World Cup debacles and will want to find a way to make an impact.

WI vs ENG Match Tips

West Indies are ahead but England could feel that they are one game away from turning their fortunes around. Jos Buttler too could be an innings away from finding his best and if he does England are likely to run away with the game.
