Sky Sports has been refusing to pay Cricket West Indies for the T20 matches in St Kitts. The original broadcast deal was made when the tour included only a single T20, but it's now a 3 match series and CWI want payment for the 2 additional matches.
Sky have argued that they have already paid for the tour and shouldn't have to pay anything more, although the good news for their viewers is that a deal looks set to be announced today, enabling the matches to be televised on Sky after all.
CWI will have to accept a great deal less than they were hoping for, but despite Sky appearing to have got the better of the negotiations they will probably not get the rights to broadcast the 2 matches exclusively. Expect them to be covered elsewhere in addition to being shown on Sky.

Yeah, according to Cricinfo windies wanted $1m for each match but Sky only offered 150 thou. They sent their commentary team yesterday so must be pretty confident of deal. Yippee! More cricket to watch.

I sincerely hope the matches are on SKY. I very much enjoy their coverage.

Confirmed. That's my Friday and Sunday nights viewing sorted!

So it's the 2nd T20 match from St Kitts.
Windies won the toss and will bowl first.
RE: West Indies v England 2019 Tour - Charlemagne - 08-03-2019 23:38
England were 32-4 but rallied to 182-6, thanks to good batting by Root and Billings.
But the England bowlers have ripped into the Windies, reducing them to 41-9 off 11 overs

Now now.
Come on Windies, you know perfectly well that losing 10 wickets for 45 runs is England's domain
.Are you trying to outcollapse us or something?

What was impressive was that;
Billings is an impressive hitter.
Jordan's an improved wicket taking bowler.
And the team are excellent in the field

The 3rd T20 is being broadcast tonight from St Kitts.
