Follow live coverage as England resume their Cricket World Cup campaign
England are looking to put some distance between themselves and the rest of the teams with a win against West Indies in their fourth World Cup match.
Eoin Morgan’s side recovered from a defeat against Pakistan to convincingly win against Bangladesh, but will need to be at their best against Jason Holder’s men. England drew a bilateral series 2-2 with the West Indies during their winter tour but will be confident as they look to extend their winning run at the Ageas Bowl to five matches.
India vs New Zealand was abandoned yesterday without a ball being bowled due to rain. The forecast for today is much better and any early rain should pass. Follow live updates in the blog below:

England 199-1
WICKET! Woakes (40) b Shannon Gabriel c Fabian Allen
It's not been the best fielding from Allen this afternoon and he was taking some stick from the supporters behind him, but he was underneath Woakes' effort at fine leg.
32 England 200-1 Ben Stokes 0 Joe Root 98
Here comes Ben Stokes into the batting. See, it doesn't get any easier for the West Indies.
33 England 202-2 Ben Stokes 2 Joe Root 100
Two wickets and now a century for Joe Root, the tournament's leading scorer. What a knock by England's finest batsman.
