BOWLING	O	M	R	W	ECON	0s	4s	6s	WD	NB
Moeen Ali	3	0	26	1	8.66	9	4	1	0	0
0.5 to BA King, bowled him, neck and crop! Grip and spin through an inviting gate as King is caught betwixt and between. Moeen gets his revenge for some early treatment. The ball crashes into middle and off stumps and England have their first. 8/1 See all photos
Reece Topley	4	0	32	1	8.00	10	2	2	0	0
1.3 to KR Mayers, nicks him off with a jaffa! Back of a length and jagging away to kiss the edge, Mayers squared up like Spongebob and Buttler swallows it gratefully! Beautiful new-ball bowling from Topley and Mayers simply looks behind him before taking his leave. 8/2 See all photos
Gus Atkinson	2	0	33	0	16.50	3	1	4	0	0
Liam Livingstone	2	0	27	0	13.50	2	0	3	2	0
Adil Rashid	4	0	32	2	8.00	9	2	2	0	0
7.4 to SD Hope, tossed up and fetched from wide of off... straight to deep midwicket! Hope doesn't get hold of his slog-sweep and Salt holds a straightforward catch in front of the boundary. Rashid continues his stunningly effective series by breaking the stand in his first over. 62/3 17.5 to N Pooran, Rash wins the battle! Shorter length, conventional leggie - Pooran does the right thing in attempting to heave to leg but the dud connection means Livingstone can stay put and take a regulation catch at deep midwicket. 183/5
Tymal Mills	2	0	36	0	18.00	0	4	2	0	0
Sam Curran	3	0	34	2	11.33	6	1	2	4	0
12.6 to R Powell, Redemption? Banged in short at pace, Powell top edges after being done by the skid off the pitch and Buttler takes a simple catch. 120/4 18.4 to SE Rutherford, Finally, pace off works! Similar to the previous delivery but, importantly, closer to the batter meaning he ends up dragging it across, straight to long on. 197/6

England (T: 223 runs from 20 ovs)

Jason Holder	4	0	52	1	13.00	7	2	5	1	0
17.5 to LS Livingstone, Livingstone goes! Powell takes the responsibility of long on, running in to take a catch after Holder goes pace on, length and hits high of Livingstone bat as the right-hander attempts to clear the fences. 186/3 See all photos
Andre Russell	3.5	0	50	1	13.04	6	3	4	0	0
11.2 to JC Buttler, Stunner of a relay catch! Russel bangs one in short at his usual pace, Buttler top edges a pull out to Akeal Hosein at deep backward square leg. The catch is taken but with momentum taking Hosein over the rope, he hops over the sponge but not before tossing the ball over-arm to Joseph who met him from fine leg. Lovely stuff. 115/1 See all photos
Gudakesh Motie	4	0	30	1	7.50	7	1	2	0	0
12.2 to WG Jacks, Cracking delivery and Jacks has to go! Sharp delivery again, this one back of a length. Jacks tries to cut it off the pitch above off stump but can only feather an edge through to Pooran. West Indies rallying in style. 116/2 See all photos
Alzarri Joseph	4	0	50	0	12.50	4	1	4	1	2
