- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.5 makes room to leg for a violent blat straight at short cover! King's first shot in anger is his last! He was leaning back for power and elevation, but Saqib followed him into his arc, and he pumped it straight into Overton's bucket hands! A century last time out, but a short stay tonight 11/13.2 hoisted out to square leg! Super low take from Bethell as the ball dips in the deep, but Lewis is done! Mahmood is rewarded for hammering his length, tempting the batter to hit him off it, and he can't get enough bat through the stroke. There's bother up top now... 18/213.2 hacked off the back foot, leaping catch from Buttler! Another Hollywood take from the captain, in the covers, he plucks it down well on the edge of the ring, but Pooran reckons Buttler might have grounded that as he landed... he's mistaken! The umpires take a second look, but that's safely nestled in his left hand. West Indies in danger of fizzling here 110/73.3 nicked off first ball! There's that length again from Saqib, he hammers it once more, with a hint of away movement. It's a hard-handed poke from the new man Hetmyer, and West Indies are properly in the soup now 18/36.2 clutched down on the long-on boundary! Super leaping catch, right back on the rope! Powell climbed through the full length, hoisting it hard down the ground, but he found one of the taller men on the pitch. Overton timed his leap well and Rashid has his man for the third time in T20Is 59/48.2 snaffled one-handed at slip! It's Buttler, freed from the gloves and back in the game! It was a legbreak from Rashid, skidding onto the left-hander from outside off, cramping his back-foot cut, and flying high to Buttler's left... he stabbed out his solitary hand, and West Indies are five-down! 69/512.4 inside-out, lashed to deep cover! Mousley is right back on the fence, doesn't have to move as Dre Russ finds the outside half of his swing for the hills! It was lively while it lasted, but it's six-down and not enough on the board just yet... 108/614.4 a second opinion! Rashid shifts his line across to the off side, finds a good length on the legbreak again, and turns it into a tangle of pads! Another review as the finger goes up... this one is less likely to be missing leg, and no bat involved. Hitting middle and leg! Took the pace off, found the purchase, Windies are eight-down! 117/818.6 pace off again, and that's due reward for Mahmood! Tempting Motie to heave across the line, it was a cutter into the pitch, into the wind, Mousley was in the game once more, right back on the rope at deep midwicket. Mahmood closes out with his fourth, and he's probably saved England 20 runs with that over, and the timing of that wicket 166/9Extras8 (lb 4, w 4)TOTAL182/9 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-11 (Brandon King, 1.5 ov), 2-18 (Evin Lewis, 3.2 ov), 3-18 (Shimron Hetmyer, 3.3 ov), 4-59 (Rovman Powell, 6.2 ov), 5-69 (Sherfane Rutherford, 8.2 ov), 6-108 (Andre Russell, 12.4 ov), 7-110 (Nicholas Pooran, 13.2 ov), 8-117 (Akeal Hosein, 14.4 ov), 9-166 (Gudakesh Motie, 18.6 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR5.6 Bowled 'im! Motie strikes, Giving this one a bit of rip, but maintaining a straight line. Straightens a touch as Jacks attempts to sweep and clatters middle stump! 73/16.4 OH MY GOD WHAT A CATCH! You can't keep Motie out of the game! Jos Buttler's first delivery skids off a length outside off - the returning skipper decides to help it on its way down to third... and Motie, running to his left, sticks out an optimistic left hand and plucks the ball out of the air right in front of the boundary!
