So there we have it. West Indies are victorious by 61 runs, they have drawn level at 1-1 in the three-match series, which means that there is everything - and I mean absolutely everything - to play for in the series decider at Trent Bridge on Saturday.

Thank you and goodnight. We've been Andrew Miller, Jenny Thompson and Will Luke, with Gnasher on the drums. We're off to move seamlessly into oche-by-oche coverage of the Las Vegas Darts classic at Mandalay. Double tops

Edwards to Anderson, OUT, full length outswinger, Anderson is drawn into the stroke, and the thin edge is pouched by Denesh Ramdin. West Indies have won a handsome victory, as Edwards strikes with the final ball of his spell. Excellent effort from him, both here and at Lord's

Edwards to Anderson, no run, watchful stuff from Jimmy. If this was a Test match I'd be gripped

Disco Bob, who seems to be the only person left watching this match, is sending us lots of anagrams for players. They are all too rude for publication though. DIY

Edwards to Anderson, no run, dead-batted like a vampire slayer. Watchful stuff in a lost cause

Sky Sports are itching to switch to their coverage of the darts, which says it all really. England have over-stayed their welcome. I love a bit of 'arras, me.

DR Smith to Anderson, 1 leg bye, massive appeal for lbw, and it looked pretty close. Full length, but swinging away late and would have missed off. Good call umpire

DR Smith to Broad, FOUR, okay, I take that back. That was worth hanging around for - a baseball slog over the infield, one bounce on the rope at long-on. Marvellous connection

Edwards to Anderson, no run, right idea, wrong execution. Attempted yorker comes out as a full-toss. And goes through to the keeper
