West Indies captain Hayley Matthews: "We would have bowled first as well. But once again, happy to have a bat again. It looks like a good wicket and hopefully go out there and get some runs on the board.
"We need to keep our spirits up and come back really well. We had positives to take from the first match. The fact that we were able to get close to 150 and know that we were nowhere near our best, it shows that there is a lot of potential for better things in the dressing room.
"We weren't able to extend the partnerships for as long a period as we wanted to. But it's something we can look to do better today."
On the return of Stafanie Taylor and Shemaine Campbelle: "They are ereally experienced players. It's good to have their experience and skill as well. Hopefully they can come in and chip in today."
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt: "We're going to have a bowl again. The wicket looks nice and it just really suits our team."
On the first T20: "It was really good, a slightly younger bowling side but they handled it really well and then the chase was calm and composed."
On unchanged XI: "We wanted to give them a chance again to adapt to new conditions. Maybe a little bit of a different West Indies line-up and a bit more pressure."
On possibly change of roles within the XI: "Definitely. To mix it up a bit and give the West Indies a different look as well."
England: Sophia Dunkley, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Em Arlott, Issy Wong, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell

England are unchanged from their win in the series opener but West Indies make two changes as Stafanie Taylor and Shemaine Campbelle replace Jannillea Glasgow and Realeanna Grimmond in their line-up.
England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt maintains her perfect record from the toss and has decided to bowl first – just like she did on Wednesday.
The hosts will now hope to continue their dominance and get a win – just like they did in Canterbury.
England's new era under captain Nat Sciver-Brunt and coach Charlotte Edwards began with an eight-wicket win against West Indies two days ago.
The tourists posted 146-7 after captain Hayley Matthews' superb unbeaten century, but England made light work of the chase by reaching the target in 16.3 overs, thanks to Sophia Dunkley's brilliant 81 not out from 55 balls.
Sciver-Brunt fell for a duck in her first match as permanent skipper, but her predecessor Heather Knight finished 43 not out alongside opener Dunkley.
