"Jamie Overton has been ruled out of the remaining Metro Bank one-day internationals and the Vitality IT20s against the West Indies due to a broken right little finger," the ECB said in a statement. Overton dropped a fast-travelling return catch off Keacy Carty and immediately went off the field for treatment while clutching his right hand. After receiving treatment, Overton returned to bowl five more overs and secure his career-best figures of 3/22. He will now undergo a period of rehabilitation under the supervision of the England medical team. In his influential spell, Overton removed Roston Chase and Matthew Forde with short-pitched deliveries. For his third scalp, he deceived Gudakesh Motie with a slower ball.
England will be keen on taking an unassailable 2-0 lead following their 238-run triumph in the series opener at Edgbaston.
