    18.3 nutmugged by the yorker! Russell finds his radar, and nails the leg-stump yorker with just a hint of tail. Salt gets low looking to slog-sweep him over the leg side, but it dips late, through his legs and under his back pad to crash into the stumps 246/3
    9.5 gottim, Buttler picks out long-on! Holder seemed to have missed his yorker but Buttler underclubbed his smash down the ground and sent it straight to Powell, positioned several yards in for the catch. Finally some respite for this West Indies attack 117/1
    13.4 smashed on the pad on the sweep, up goes the finger! Jacks reluctantly reviews after a consultation with Salt. Got down early but pinned right in front, and Hawk-Eye projects the ball would have smashed into middle and leg stump. That is salmon trout 173/2

    0.1 King's gone first ball! Flat outside off and top-edged to short third! Goes hard from the outset, as he has to, and has to walk straight back. England had their tallest player, in Reece Topley, positioned there and he had to leap to claw it in with his fingertips. Not the start West Indies wanted 0/1
    1.5 skied into the Tarouba sky.... and taken at the second attempt! Woakes was the man under it at mid-on, the ball dropping from on high - and he nearly messed it up. The ball pops out but he grabs it at the second attempt, and England have a second early wicket 32/2
    4.1 slogged high into the air... and Brook tears in from long-on to take it at full length! Pooran was very worked up about something before the ball was delivered - presumably the delay, but not sure. He then attempted to club the ball over the leg side but sent it a long way up. Could easily have fallen into no-man's land but Brook made the ground running in and held a composed catch 58/3
    5.2 top-edged and taken behind the stumps! The offcutter does the trick for Woakes. Hope let out a cry of anguish as he realised where the ball was going. So great is the pressure on West Indies to keep up with the rate that they are bleeding wickets 78/4
    8.5 goes for the reverse-hoick, hit on the pads... given! But Rutherford reviews it straight away. He was in front of the pegs but was it too high? Struck on the left leg as he collapsed to the on side. Hitting middle stump, says ball-tracking! Nigel Duguid raises his finger again and Rutherford storms off in a funk. Probably because he has given Rehan a freebie rather than over the decision 120/6
    7.5 castled! Powell completely foxed as the ball hits off stump! I thought this was a googly but the release doesn't back that up. Think it was a legbreak that skidded on, inside the bat as Powell prodded uncertainly. Another brick knocked out by England 106/5
    15.3 Brook makes no mistake this time! Launched high (but not very long) into the night sky, but is deceived by the slower ball. Brook runs in off the rope and clings onto the skier. England win, and square the series at 2-2! 192/10
    8.6 tossed up and slogged to deep midwicket first ball! Holder sets out his stall... and then has to pack it away again immediately. Didn't get the connection and it was never clearing Jacks on the boundary. Rehan will be on a hat-trick (provided West Indies don't get bowled out in the next over) 120/7
    12.3 dug in halfway down, Hosein skies the pull shot and Moeen settles underneath it, running in from deep midwicket. A slower-ball bouncer, which Hosein jumped to reach. Nowhere near the middle of the bat, and a simple chance for England's vice-captain 160/8
    13.5 slower ball, wide outside off stump and spooned straight to cover! Simple chance for the skipper with his fingers pointing to the sky, and Forde trudges off 169/9
