- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.3 Another slash from back of a length! It's a spiralling hack, down to deep third, Lewis was hoisting it off the length, but with the intent of a man who was being barraged by the short ball. He's never in control, Archer cups his hands inside the rope, and West Indies are two down in nine balls! 13/20.4 rising onto the back foot, nudged to the leg-side, and Bethell pings down the stumps! Hope wasn't in the frame! A shocking run, looked easy enough on impact, but the fielder was too quick! He dawdled halfway down, and dawdled back again! 5/12.5 horrid hack, three-down it is! Attacking length from round the wicket, Pooran loses his shape, and his head, with a wild swipe across the line, and hears the splatter of middle and leg! What on earth was that? 17/33.2 wider line, Chase chases the outswinger, and first slip gobbles the edge! This is a rout! Chase was anchored on the back foot, presumably expecting something shorter, Overton's huge hands closed around the ball, and this scoreline is almost as dismal as Pakistan's this morning. In mitigation, they only had seven overs to chase 94... 21/45.4 another horribly soft dismissal! Short from Mahmood, but a tight line across the left-hander, Hetmyer climbs across the length, but can't release his arms through the stroke. There's a man lurking inside the rope at deep midwicket and that's five-down and spiralling! 37/517.1 full and launched... into the hands of deep midwicket! Bethell isn't dropping those, and Powell's valiant resistance comes to an end. He trudges off looking disconsolate, fully in the knowledge of how good this pitch is to bat on. Didn't get this out of the middle and it was a simple catch well in from the rope. Third of the night for Overton 113/815.1 dipping slower ball, trapped in front! Up goes the finger of umpire Reifer but Shepherd reviews this time. If he hasn't hit this, he is toast... and in fact, he's already walking off! Beautifully bowled from the big Devonian, totally foxing Shepherd as he heaved across the line. The ball dropped on the crease and hit Shepherd's back leg on the knee as he collapsed to the ground. Hitting middle stump, says Hawk-Eye! Overton finally breaks the stand 110/615.4 slammed into the pitch, flapped to mid-off! Motie goes for a blob and it's two in the over for Overton. He was backing away and looking to free the arms but spliced the ball tamely into the hands of Jacks coming in 110/7Extras9 (lb 6, w 3)TOTAL145/8 (20 Overs, RR: 7.25)Did not bat: T HindsFall of wickets: 1-5 (Shai Hope, 0.4 ov), 2-13 (Evin Lewis, 1.3 ov), 3-17 (Nicholas Pooran, 2.5 ov), 4-21 (Roston Chase, 3.2 ov), 5-37 (Shimron Hetmyer, 5.4 ov), 6-110 (Romario Shepherd, 15.1 ov), 7-110 (Gudakesh Motie, 15.4 ov), 8-113 (Rovman Powell, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.4 straight through him, the arm ball does it! Actually, it hit the back pad, which deflected the ball into leg stump. But either way, the effect is the same. For the second innings in a row, Akeal Hosein gets Phil Salt with his first ball. West Indies have their first - nine more required, you'd think 14/110.6 on the back foot, slapped hard at short cover! Jacks gives it away after the break, and now we have a contest! Powell was in very tight, Jacks rocked back for extra humpty but he drilled it straight at the man! 75/44.6 skewed high into the covers - and Powell clings on! Hosein claws out the big wicket of Buttler, sends a little salute to the skies. Buttler knew he hadn't got the connection as soon as the ball left the bat, and this time Powell was able to make the ground and get underneath the ball for a smart take over his shoulder, tumbling to the ground but making sure to hold on. Game on? 32/25.3 nicked him off second ball! Excellent line and he gets Bethell feeling for it, just a defensive push and it grazes the edge - Pooran flings the ball up in celebration and Bethell heads straight off. Bad boy Joseph is back in the Windies good books, as England go three down 37/315.2 he's got it right this time! Hinds has his first T20I wicket, and it's the key scalp of Curran, who sensed a chance to put the hammer down, but Hinds hit the pitch with more purpose, tighter line outside off, and though it was a well timed cut, it flew straight to Hope at deep backward point, who rushed in initially and was then blown off his feet as he closed out the chance! 114/518.2 hacked straight to wide long-on! Akeal has a fourth, but it's surely too late now... Another ball sticks in the pitch as Livingstone looked for the glory finish. He wellied it, high on the blade, straight down Shepherd's throat... Four balls left for Akeal to complete the steal! 142/716.4 on the back foot, slammed at cover! Akeal has another and this time Hetmyer does cling on! Stooping forward as the ball skids low. England are in danger of blowing this now... 123/6Extras8 (lb 2, w 6)TOTAL149/7 (19.2 Overs, RR: 7.7)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Phil Salt, 2.4 ov), 2-32 (Jos Buttler, 4.6 ov), 3-37 (Jacob Bethell, 5.3 ov), 4-75 (Will Jacks, 10.6 ov), 5-114 (Sam Curran, 15.2 ov), 6-123 (Dan Mousley, 16.4 ov), 7-142 (Liam Livingstone, 18.2 ov)
