A sensational run-chase from West Indies. It is getting as dark as the World Cup final now, but Bravo saw that like a beachball. That's the first Twenty20 international in the Caribbean, and what a marker it's laid down. England might not fancy their chances of those Stanford millions after all ...
A brilliant momentum-seizing 36 from 15 balls from Xavier Marshall set the tone of this run-chase. Once he was gone, it was just a run a ball that West Indies needed. Routine stuff in this day and age.
Thanks for your patience, it was worth it in the end. I've been Andrew Miller, goodnight.

Watson to Bravo, SIX, outside off, and smacked handsomely, gloriously, over deep midwicket for a maximum! What a way to win it!

Hopes to Fletcher, no run, an anticlimactic dot to finish the over ...
Fletcher pumps his fists as soon as he hits it. He knows ...

Hopes to Fletcher, FOUR, stand and deliver! That was pitched up towards the blockhole, but Fletcher drove through the line, inside-out, and two bounces into the extra cover advertising hoardings!
