8:22pm Right, that's all from us here tonight. Same time tomorrow for the second T20I? You know you want to...

8:20pm "We've highlighted a way we want to play - it's just unfortunate tonight it did not go for us," says West Indies captain Rovman Powell.

Jos Buttler lauds a fantastic performance upon his return: "We know what to expect from the West Indies so those wickets (early on) were at a premium. We really chased those wickets and it came good tonight."

[On Phil Salt] "He loves playing the West Indies... over the last two months, he's shown he can take his game to new levels."

8:15pm Of course, Phil Salt is player of the match after his third century in the Caribbean: "I think it's probably the place I'm happiest - I enjoy batting here, I've grown up batting on these surfaces. Maybe it's a product of both!"

[On Jacob Bethell] He's a huge talent. some of the shots he's played there... he's a 21-year-old lad, but if you didn't know how old he was, you'd think he'd played 100 games.

[On where this century ranks out of the three] "Number one!

8:05pm By the time, forgot to mention that Jacob Bethell, at 21 years and 17 days, becomes England's youngest T20I half-centurion

8:00pm Let's not forget, Saqib Mahmood, the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 34 - the first three in the Powerplay. West Indies will lick their wounds but they've got to shake this off quickly with the second T20I taking place tomorrow back at this ground. They will also be concerned by Andre Russell having to leave the field with a niggle. England, similarly, have their own injury worries after Reece Topley jarred his knee during his third over

Shepherd to Bethell, 2 runs, Short again, pulled off the badge for a sharp two that brings up an emphatic eight-wicket win for England! A brilliant match ends up being a fairly one-sided affair, thanks to Phil Salt's century and Jacob Bethell's gumption. What a way to take a 1-0 lead... with the highest successful run chase at the Kensington Oval, with 19 balls to spare!

Shepherd to Bethell, SIX, Full, wide, lifted over cover with poise! Bethell showing out now in front of his fans, rocking serenely into a lofted drive over the fence. That's also the century stand between these two from 60 deliveries!

Shepherd to Salt, FOUR, Full toss, clubbed down the ground... and through long on to bring up Salt's third T20I century! All of them have come in the Caribbean, this off just 53 deliveries - thanks to nine fours and six sixes - and the celebratory roar tells you just how much this means to him
