    6.2 bowled him, nipping back through the gate! Bopara has done the trick, on the mark straight away and Smith was perhaps a little early on his shot, trying to work to leg, think the ball gripped off the surface and was accurate enough to disturb the bails 57/1
    11.3 and he's got him! Reward for Tredwell who has held his ground against Gayle. This one slid on and stuck him on the back pad right in from of middle. Unless he hit it, that was dead. 87/2

    14.2 it's short, but it gets the wicket...sat in the pitch a fraction, Simmons went for the pull, but got the ball too straight instead of midwicket, long-on didn't have to move far to his left 112/3

    6.3 Lumb's luck is short lived, as he pulls a half-tracker straight down the gullet of deep backward square! Third wicket for Badree, Lumb got under it rather than through the shot and it possibly held up in the wind, no drama for the catcher underneath it 36/3
    2.3 skips the ball on as Hales leaves his crease... got him, easy stumping! Smartly done by bowler and keeper, Badree saw Hales move early, pushed the ball through flat and quick outside off, ineffectual dab at it and it was a simple job to finish off 13/1
    2.4 appeal for another stumping first ball! Wright tried to hit the cover off it, aiming down the ground and completely missing the googly, his foot was beyond the line, never really made a move back and Ramdin broke the wicket... This is going to be out as well, another failure for Wright, the crowd go barmy in Barbados! Wright didn't seem to realise the front part of his foot was only on the line, he held the pose and Ramdin just flipped off the bails 13/2
    9.3 bit of air on off stump, Morgan swats it flat towards deep midwicket... but can't clear the man! Another one bites the dust, England five down and looking like a broken-down jalopy attempting to complete the Cannonball Run. Morgan hung around to confirm the catcher hadn't stepped on to the boundary rope but he was well inside 55/5
    7.3 goes for the reverse sweep and top-edge straight to the man on the edge of the circle! Buttler perishes, again he looked pretty seasick against Narine, couldn't get enough elevation on the shot and it was a simple take for short third man 40/4

    14.3 and strikes...Bopara trying to fetch this over the leg side, it's a off-cutter outside off, making Bopara reach for the ball and he can only send it high in the air. Bravo looks after the catching himself as he steadies himself around midwicket. Some exurbarant celebrations 101/7
    11.4 third stumping of the innings. Clueless against spin. Charges down, head in the air, swings and misses. Miles out. Some turn and bounce for Samuels, but Stokes was nowhere near the ball 73/6

    17.6 well, that sums up England's day! Jabbed over the top of a short ball, the ball goes through the Ramdin, Broad sets off for a run and is well short as Ramdin's throw hits direct 123/8
    18.6 and another run out...the ball deflected off Bresnan's boots and stopped close to the striker's crease, Tredwell was on his heels and could not beat Russell who was quick from his followthrough 133/9

Match Notes

  • Bopara, Sammy and Samuels fined for verbal showdown

    England batsman Ravi Bopara and West Indians Marlon Samuels and Darren Sammy have been fined for their verbal altercation during the first T20 in Barbados on Sunday

  • England miss the muscle

    The opening T20 did not present new problems for England, just old ones rehashed at other venue. Misjudging selection can be fixed, but the batting needs to find a way of combating spin in the shortest format

  • Samuels backs Badree as World T20 'trump card'

    Marlon Samuels was optimistic that the West Indies have found the right formula heading into their World T20 title defence in Bangladesh

  • Good day, bad day for Tredwell

    ESPNcricinfo presents plays of the day from the opening T20 between West Indies and England in Barbados

  • Broad fitness concern for World T20

    Stuart Broad will sit out England's next two T20s against West Indies in a bid to ensure his fitness for the World T20, with the captain revealing that he has been managing a knee problem with injections over the winter
