1.30pm Good grief. That was just incredible from England, and in particular Jos Buttler. 154 runs in the last ten overs of the innings ... that would be mayhem in any given T20 match ... even this one. But the upshot is that West Indies need 419 to keep their hopes of a series win alive... and just for context, that is one run more than their long-standing record for the highest chase in Test history!
Gerard Rawlins: "You have not seen carnage yet. West Indies will provide carnage you will never forget. I do not expect to see my prediction as you are so biased." That's right Gerald. Here's your moment of glory. Hope you've got a screenshot!
Dinesh: "It may only be February 2019 but I think we've already witnessed the best innings for 2019 in all three formats : Kusal Perera, Glen Maxwell and Jos Butler! " You might have a point!
Arun: "Buttler was 45* at the end of 40th over and scored 105 in the last ten overs of England innings. Surely the second person to score 100 runs in last 10 overs after ABD, I guess. And it's against WI again" Yeah, that wasn't sluggish either ...
"Universe Jos," says Ali Martin of The Guardian, who will never let The Sun go down on his former employers...
Right, I need a lie-down. Alan will be here for the Gayle-storm shortly

Individually, the joint-seventh most sixes in an innings for Buttler... not bad. Room for improvement
JC Buttler b Brathwaite 150 (77b 13x4 12x6) SR: 194.80
Aashu: "Butler just two hits away from the second fastest 150 in ODI cricket. Carnage. " Can he get back on strike?
