England have made one change for their second T20 World Cup group stage match against the West Indies, with Jamie Overton replacing Luke Wood.
Harry Brook's side survived a scare in their opening Group C match as they beat Nepal by just four runs.
Nepal required 10 runs from the final over to pull off an upset but were only able to score five off Sam Curran as they ended on 180-6 chasing 185 in the Group C encounter at Wankhede Stadium.

It had got nervous for England though as a 22-run Jofra Archer over, in which Lokesh Bam (39no off 20) creamed back-to-back sixes, and then a 14-run Luke Wood made for a thrilling finale.
Now, they have opted to make one change for their contest against West Indies in Mumbai on Wednesday - a game you can stream live for FREE on the Sky Sports App.
Surrey all-rounder Overton has come in for Lancashire seamer Wood while spinner Adil Rashid keeps his place despite a tough outing in the opening match in which he went for 0-42 from three overs, with an economy rate of 14.
England currently sit third in Group C after their opening win with West Indies top after one win and Scotland second after losing to West Indies but beating Italy.
Curran: We learnt a lot from the close shave
While for many, England's narrow win over Nepal was too close for comfort, Curran, who was tasked with bowling that crucial final over, believes they can take some key learnings into their next contest against West Indies.
"I think our build-up was really important as well in Sri Lanka, playing those three T20s," Curran told Sky Sports.
"I think we are really confident as a side in our roles and stuff like that.
"With Brooky (Harry Brook) taking over, we are getting used to his style of captaincy which has been great.
"In the context of the tournament, first game, we know how World Cup play is played, it is very different to bilateral series.
"To get those two points. I was weirdly standing in the field thinking 'wow, if we lose this, what is going to be the equation for qualifying?'
"Now we can smile with two points and we learnt a lot from that game."
