Liam Livingstone’s reaction

I guess we need to get the rhythm of 50-over cricket as quickly as possible. We know that somebody in the top six has to go on and unfortunately we couldn’t do that today.

I don’t think we adapted that well. West Indies bowled really well and we lost wickets at key stages. Disappointing day but we’ll come back on Sunday, Saturday, whenever it is!

I think everybody saw what JT [John Turner] is about. I thought he bowled really well and was unlucky not to get a wicket which might have changed the game. Hopefully more of the same for the rest of the series.
