England eye clean sweep after sealing series win

England's batsmen made heavy weather of a modest chase of 226 in the second ODI against West Indies in Antigua, but with the series in the bag and a 3-0 clean sweep to aim for, Bet365 doesn't envisage any major slip-ups as they head into Thursday's final fixture in Barbados.

England were heavy favourites in the pre-series stakes and remain so now - you can get odds of 1/3 on their third win of the tour, as opposed to 12/5 for a West Indies consolation win. And even if do stumble, you can pretty much bank on them making more runs in the first 15 overs, with Jason Roy and, potentially, Alex Hales set to lead the line. West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite has his merits at the top of the order, but he is not known for his free-scoring.

That said, it's been a bit of an attritional series, with the slow surface in Antigua favouring those batsmen who don't mind taking their time to build an innings - in particular Eoin Morgan in the first match and Joe Root in the second. They are 3/1 and 9/2 respectively to be England's top-scorers at Bridgetown, where the conditions aren't expected to be significantly different.

In the bowling stakes, it was a spinners' surface in Antigua, where Devendra Bishoo, Ashley Nurse and Adil Rashid all had their moments. But so too did Steven Finn, who might have claimed three wickets in his new-ball spell but for a dropped catch at midwicket. He became England's third-fastest bowler to 100 wickets in the course of his day's work, and looked to be getting some of his fragile confidence back. At 4/1, he is a fractionally better bet to be the leading wicket-taker in Barbados.
