And West Indies roar their delight. They've done brilliantly tonight, outplaying England from the first over. England just never left the traps, in spite of Collingwood's breezy knock. They lacked the fire and inventiveness of West Indies' batsman - Smith and Samuels both played magnificently well. So, a tough introduction for England's new captain, Collingwood, but they have a chance to level the series tomorrow, here at The Oval, for the second and final Twenty20. Do join us tomorrow for another 40 overs of entertaining mayhem but, from me Will Luke, and Andrew Miller, it's good night.
Yardy and Broad have a chat. England need 17 from one ball. What on earth can they be talking about? Broad nods his head furiously, listening to Yardy
Good knock from England's new captain, but he looks mighty angry
PD Collingwood run out 79 (47m 41b 5x4 4x6) SR: 192.68
It's all over
And he's absolutely fuming, furious with himself and he practises the stroke, lambasting himself for not going over the top
"Come on, Bravo," sings an English voice in the crowd somewhat confusingly.
The physio had told Bravo not to bowl. He might be in for a rollicking later.
Collingwood has a wry, resigned look on his face. Interesting...Bravo's coming on to bowl, when we were told he isn't fit enough (selected as a batsman only).
