England made light work of West Indies in the second one-day international to move ahead in the rain-affected series. And unless something drastic happens in the next two days, or unless the weather intervenes again, there seems little to stop them from winning it 2-0.
At the risk of being boring, West Indies just look totally uninterested in this series, preferring, perhaps to keep their powder dry for the forthcoming world Twenty20 competition.
Whatever they are doing, competing is not on their agenda, it seems, and it's hard to see them bouncing back in Tuesday's third game at Edgbaston.
Eoin Morgan did not get the chance to show his talent with the bat on Sunday but he may well do on Tuesday, and it will be interesting to see what England make of him.
I can't suggest anything other than another England win, especially as the forecast is decent, so if they play properly, so take bet365's 8/15. West Indies are 6/4.
Ravi Bopara is 3/1 to top-score for England, just ahead of captain Andrew Strauss, who is on offer at 10/3. Owais Shah, Ian Bell and Matt Prior are all 5/1, with Collingwood 6/1 and Morgan 13/2.
Chris Gayle, who could catch fire at any time, shares favouritism for West Indies with Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan. All three are 3/1, while Dwayne Bravo is 5/1, Lendl Simmons 6/1 and Runako Morton 8/1.
