10:10pm Right, that's all from us here. Thanks for your company through the various rain delays. Join us on Saturday for the 2nd ODI - also in Antigua - to see if England can level the series. Night!

10:07pm England captain Liam Livingstone lamented the lack of big scores in the top order after the front six all got starts - including himself, top-scoring with 48.

"That's the test that we've got to come over the next couple of games. It's the rhythm of 50-over cricket - trying to get up to speed and picking up that rhythm as quickly as possible.

"We know someone from our top six needs to go on and get a big score, but we didn't get that today. Fifty overs is a long time. We wanted to try and put the West Indies under as much pressure as we can."

10:05pm Player of the Match is Gudakesh Motie, for his 4 for 41...

"I wasn't getting much turn out of the wicket so I was just trying to keep it on a straight line and keep my lengths.

"Runs weren't coming at both ends easily, which helped me a lot to take four wickets.

"I figured out bowling fast in these conditions was easier [to play] so I was trying to bowl as slow as possible."

9:50pm A comprehensive performance to go 1-0 up. The hosts bowled well to keep a lid on an inexperienced batting line up, squeezing well up top and through the middle - Seales was particularly frugal at the start of England's innings. The rain delay brought the target down from 210 to 157, but West Indies would have clearly munched the former in any case. They ended up seeing off the latter with 55 balls to spare

25.5
2
Livingstone to Hope, 2 runs

Quicker through the air, straightening on leg stump, knocked away through square leg for the two runs that takes them to a comprehensive eight-wicket victory! England, with their four debutants, have been completely outplayed. Evin Lewis' classy 94 did the business in the end, after Gudakesh Motie's 4 for 41 restrictive Liam Livningstone's side

25.4
Livingstone to Hope, no run

Goes tighter to the stumps, good turn squares Hope up, but soft hands and a lack of bounce means the edge scuttles away to point

25.3
1
Livingstone to Carty, 1 run

Into the pitch, sits up with spin taking it outside off, driven off the back foot in front of point

25.2
Livingstone to Carty, no run

Short, wide, and missed! Carty fails to connect with a late cut

25.1
1
Livingstone to Hope, 1 run

Full, just outside off stump, driven late but well enough to find the deep cover fielder

24.6
Rashid to Carty, no run

Flatter googly off a length to follow, worked off the hip into square leg

24.5
4
Rashid to Carty, FOUR runs

Tossed up, wide, lifted over mid off! Drops to one knee and goes low to high, which gives him the elevation to beat the man in the ring down the ground

24.4
Rashid to Carty, no run

Wide again, touch flatter, Carty tries to guide beyond backward point but can't beat the fielder's dive

24.3
Rashid to Carty, no run

Another slow one, played off the pitch - it was full, to be fair - but with no real intent towards backward point

24.2
Rashid to Carty, no run

Flighted on leg stump, Carty goes for the slog sweep but is done by the turn and ends up wearing it on the thigh

24.1
1
Rashid to Hope, 1 run

Short, on off stump, Hope rises with the bounce and cuts out to deep point, where Curran steams in to gather and hurl right over the top of the stumps. Good intent, if a little too late...

23.6
1
Livingstone to Hope, 1 run

Decent length, but width on offer which allows a cut to deep point

23.5
Livingstone to Hope, no run

Full, driven back to the bowler

23.4
Livingstone to Hope, no run

Flighted, driven inside-out to cover... and it's dropped by Adil Rashid! Poor, poor drop but just about sums out how bad England have been since the resumption

23.3
Livingstone to Hope, no run

Fired in straight, Hope is back and defending back down the pitch

23.2
1
Livingstone to Carty, 1 run

Darted in, skids straight off the surface, played out to deep point

23.1
Livingstone to Carty, no run

Full-ish, turn, but slow enough to be played off the back foot, cut to backward point

Prashant: "Evin Lewis has finally been dismissed after scoring 251 runs over his last three ODI innings. 55*, 102*, 94"

Bit of flight, into a good length, smeared on the sweep by Hope, out to Turner patrolling the leg side fence

22.4
Rashid to Hope, no run

Goes back and defends as Rashid goes for a length delivery which carries on with the arm

Shai Hope to the crease, with 13 needed from 75...
