4:46pm A mammoth total - West Indies' second-highest in men's T20Is, and it was a clinic of six-hitting from start to finish. Hope and Lewis took their time for a couple of overs, before the skipper began upping the tempo. Lewis then joined in and tore Ireland apart en route a 44-ball 91. Carty played the other standout knock, finishing with 49 off 22 and that, coupled with Holder, Hetmyer and Shepherd's cameos, mean WI have 256 on the board.

Humphreys was the sole bright spot for Ireland and he, somehow, seemed to have the West Indian batters on a tight leash. The rest travelled and that too is perhaps putting things mildly. Ireland now have a mountain to climb, but they will take heart from the fact that this is a pretty flat deck, and that the ground is not especially big. Join us in a bit for the chase!
