Topley to Gous, SIX, has that gone the distance? Drifting on the pads, hint of swing and Gous has flicked it away towards fine leg. Hits the cushions on the full and that's the first maximum of the match

Topley to Gous, no run, lovely delivery. On a length around off, holds its line, Gous goes for a straight drive, gets beaten on the outside edge

Topley to Gous, 2 runs, to extra cover

Topley to Steven Taylor, 1 run, to deep backward point

Steven Taylor and Gous are at the crease. Steven Taylor is on strike. Topley will open the attack

The two openers are out in the middle and they are ready to roll. Topley to bowl the first over of the match with a couple of slips in place. Here we go!

Time for the national anthems..

We have made a few changes in our Expert XI, do check out our updated Fantasy Handbook before you lock your teams..

Teams:

United States (Playing XI): Steven Taylor, Andries Gous(w), Nitish Kumar, Aaron Jones(c), Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Jos Buttler(w/c), Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley

Aaron Jones: Wanted to bowl first. We are going to go hard, it's a good wicket. We are going to play fearless cricket like always. We need to be more disciplined. Going to come back stronger today. Same team as the last game.

Jos Buttler: We will bowl first. An early morning start, it will be tacky to start, that's the reason to bowl. Everyone's good and getting ready, has been a quick turnaround. We got a tough game, USA have played some tough cricket. We know what we have to do. I think the boys have bowled well, hopefully today's the day. Jordan comes in for Wood.

England have won the toss and have opted to field

Right then, both the captains are out in the middle and it's toss time..

Pitch and weather: Forecast for scattered showers. 64m and 62m square boundaries, 74m down the ground. The pitch looks dry and it's grass-less. There are a few rough patches, but nothing alarming for the batters. A good wicket to bat on.

The weather forecast for today doesn't look promising, so you can expect a rain-curtailed game. A win for England is most likely to guarantee them a semis spot, so let's see what we have in store. England have an explosive batting unit and a fiery pace bowling unit. USA have a big challenge ahead of them. Can they put up a fight, or will they succumb to yet another defeat? All our questions will be answered soon. Stay around for the toss and teams..

Preview by Smit Patel

England find themselves on the edge after their harakiri against South Africa, losing from a definite driver's seat with 25 needed off 18 deliveries with 6 wickets in hand at one point of time. The defending champions are now in a situation where a simple win against the USA may not get them through to the semis.

A win for England and for South Africa (over West Indies) will be enough for the former to qualify. But in case South Africa lose, NRR will come into the picture. However, with the difference in NRRs between the English and the Proteas being around 0.2, barring any Super-Over finishes and ultra close contests, an England win and a South Africa loss should be enough for the former to go through.

England would dearly need Jos Buttler to step up to the plate. Buttler has endured an underwhelming World Cup by his standards, with a highest of 42 in 5 innings. It becomes even more imperative for Buttler to fire if England are put into bat given an early morning start and how menacing USA spearhead Saurabh Netravalkar becomes in those conditions. Mark Wood would look to unsettle the USA batters with his fiery pace, something which they won't be used to at the associate level. The Barbados track might be on the slower side but Wood has shown the ability to take the pitch out of the equation with his fast and full approach in the past.

Steven Taylor's lean patch with the bat hasn't augured well for USA in the World Cup. He dazzled with a 14-ball 24 against South Africa but fell for 2 in the game against the Windies. Nitish Kumar's promotion to number 3 hasn't yielded desired results either. USA will need to sort out their issues at the top of the order to surprise yet another Test nation before they bow out from a historic World Cup run.

When: USA vs England, June 24, 10:30 AM local time, 230 PM GMT, 8 PM IST

Where: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

What to expect: If Shai Hope's ballistic 82 off 39 deliveries on Friday night is of evidence, the Barbados track should be a belter for the USA and England game. However, the first couple of overs may see the ball nibble around a bit. Expect a high scoring encounter if USA hold their own with the bat.

Team Watch

USA:

Nisarg Patel is the only member of the squad who hasn't been given a game in the tournament. With little to lose, it remains to be seen if USA are audacious enough to play 3 left-arm spinners in the eleven given the predominance of right handers in the England line up.

Probable XI: Steven Taylor, Andries Gous (wk), Nitish Kumar, Aaron Jones (captain), Corey Anderson, Milind Kumar, Harmeet Singh, Shadley van Schalkwyk/Nisarg Patel, Nosthush Kenjige, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar

Team Watch

England:

Liam Livingstone remained under injury cloud before their first Super 8 game against the West Indies but the all rounder seems to have recovered well and was well oncourse to seal the game for England against South Africa with a sparkling 33 off 17 before being sent back by Rabada. There would be a temptation to play Tom Hartley on a slow wicket but England would look towards their pacers to put USA under pressure with some quality pace bowling.

Probable XI: Philip Salt, Jos Buttler (captain) (wk), Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Reece Topley
