England's dominant display over Oman helped to get their World Cup hopes back on track but was very definitely an anomaly when it comes to games played in Antigua – or, indeed, in general.

However, after successfully doing so last time out, Jos Buttler's men may well be tempted to bowl first in the hope of skittling their opponents for a low score again.
