DEATH METTLE

ENGLAND white ball coach Matthew Mott says he has no concerns about a lack of death bowling options despite Jos Buttler's men twice letting victory slip through their fingers.

Gus Atkinson's failure to deal with late West Indies heat on Saturday night delivered victory to the hosts on a plate, his final over and the penultimate over of the match going for 24.

It followed Brydon Carse and Sam Curran in Antigua in the first match of the series being battered for 17 and 19 respectively as England let slip a winning position at the death.

Yet Mott and captain Buttler are backing the same players to take shortterm pain for long term gain.
