Scorecard Summary
WEST INDIES 102/3 (9.1 OVERS)
- Dwayne Bravo*28 (15)
- Xavier Marshall36 (15)
- Brett Lee0/26 (2)
- Shane Watson1/17 (2.1)
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!

Hopes to Bravo, 1 run, pulled out to midwicket. West Indies are all but home and hosed

Hopes to Bravo, FOUR, up and over the covers handsomely! That was in the slot for the shot, and he went for it well!

Hopes to Fletcher, 1 leg bye, hit in the groin, but an instant call for the single. Hopes fields well in his followthrough, but Bravo is safely home
