England will use ice packs, Formula 1-style cooling vests and other methods to deal with the heat during their match against West Indies, says stand-in captain Charlie Dean.

England have three wins from three so far at the T20 World Cup and are top of Group 2 England could use ice packs, cooling vests and other methods to deal with the heat during their T20 World Cup match against West Indies at Lord's on Wednesday, says stand-in captain Charlie Dean. Temperatures are forecast to reach 35 degrees on Wednesday in London with a rare red heat warning in place. With the Group 2 match set to go ahead (18:30 BST) amid travel warnings, Dean said her side will draw on past experiences of playing in countries such as India and Australia. "It's a bit weird being in England and it being this warm but, yes, we've played in these conditions before we know that it takes a lot out of you," Dean told BBC Sport. "There's those vests, the cooling vests that Formula One drivers have. A few of them might get run on and few [tubular] grips filled with ice to put around your neck, bits like that." Wednesday is likely to have the warmest temperatures for a cricket match in the UK since a sweltering England men's match against South Africa in Chester-le-Street. That day the heat reached 38C and some spectators required medical attention in the stands.
