Graeme Swann won the toss and chose to bowl for the second match running, as England looked to replicate the methods by which they rampaged to a ten-wicket victory in the first of their double-header Twenty20s against West Indies on Friday.
With clear skies overhead, and on the same track that assisted England's slower bowlers two days ago, England chose to bring in an extra spinner, Scott Borthwick, for the seamer Steven Finn. The pace attack will be carried by Tim Bresnan, with Jade Dernbach's bag of tricks likely to share the new-ball duties, reports ESPNcricinfo.
West Indies have shuffled their pack after a thumping defeat in the first match, with three changes to the line-up including their senior paceman Fidel Edwards, who has been replaced by the left-arm medium-pacer Krishmar Santokie.
Danza Hyatt, who was one of only three batsmen to reach double figures on Friday, has also been omitted in favour of Miles Bascombe, while Nkruma Bonner has made way for an extra slow left-armer, Garey Mathurin.

England: Craig Kieswetter (wk), Alex Hales, Ravi Bopara, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Samit Patel, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann (capt), Scott Borthwick, Jade Dernbach
West Indies: Johnson Charles, Dwayne Smith, Miles Bascombe, Marlon Samuels, Christopher Barnwell, Darren Sammy (capt), Derwin Christian (wk), Andre Russell, 9 Garey Mathurin, Devendra Bishoo, Krishmar Santokie
