Akeal Hosein	4	0	32	1	8.00	6	4	0	0	0
10.5 to JC Buttler, Dug in again... and this time it works! Buttler tries to go aerial but gets too far under the ball, top-edging high towards Cow Corner where Hetmyer runs in and falls into a smart catch. 117/3
Jason Holder	4	0	43	1	10.75	6	3	2	4	0
11.1 to HC Brook, Gone! The first legitimate delivery of the over brings about a wicket! Scrambled seam off a length straightens a touch - Brook, having stepped away to try and launch it over the off side, feathers an edge through to Pooran. England wobbling here.... 120/4
Andre Russell	4	0	19	3	4.75	13	1	1	0	0
6.1 to PD Salt, slogged into the leg side... hasn't got the legs! Hetmyer takes a juggling catch on the boundary, and I think he's done well. Fantastic leaping effort at deep midwicket and then he has the presence of mind to let go of the ball before he steps outside the ropes, pushing off back into the field of play to complete the catch. Russell, on comeback, makes the breakthrough. 77/1 18.1 to LS Livingstone, Inside edge, off stump rocked! Another cutter, outside off, Livingstone's already eyeing up the stands and ends up taking out his stumps instead.. 167/7 18.5 to Rehan Ahmed, We won't see it tonight, either! Right idea from Rehan, creating room to hit a full ball down the ground, but loses his shape and is caught by Powell about 10 yards short of the boundary. 169/8 See all photos
Alzarri Joseph	3.3	0	54	3	15.42	8	4	3	5	2
8.3 to WG Jacks, hoisted straight up, and taken! Jacks was looking to clear long-off again but barely makes it beyond the 30-yard circle. The ball was coming down with icicles on and Brandon King nearly misjudged it, with a team-mate running in towards him. But he plunges forward at the last second and holds a good catch. Respite for Joseph, who took pace off that one, I think. 98/2 19.2 to AU Rashid, Timber! Joseph pitches one full and knocks out off stump as Rashid slogs agriculturally across the line. 170/9 19.3 to TS Mills, Length, sharp, Mills swipes but no dice. Was there a noise? Pooran thinks so and urges Powell to review... and he's right! The thinnest sliver of an under edge detected and England are all out for 171!. 171/10
Romario Shepherd	4	0	22	2	5.50	8	2	0	0	0
13.1 to BM Duckett, Pocketed by that man Hosein! Shepherd spies Duckett moving early to ramp, takes pace off the ball and is rewarded with a wicket, caught easily by the man in the circle at third. 129/5 17.1 to SM Curran, Oh what a catch! West Indies red hot form in the field continues as Joseph runs to his left at long off and leaps higher than Vince Carter in his pomp to pluck Sam Curran's flat-batted heave out of the sky. 165/6

2.4 to BA King, cracked off the back foot, Duckett snags it leaping to his left! Loose delivery but it brings about the breakthrough for England. Short and wide, King looked to cash it and nailed his connection... but the ball was just close enough to the diminutive Duckett, reaching high and away from his body with both hands, to reel it in. Superb. 32/1 See all photos

10.2 to N Pooran, Caught and bowled! Pooran misreads what looks to be a conventional leggie, spooning it to leg where a sprawling Rehan takes a smart catch to his left. Now then.... 100/3 14.3 to SD Hope, Another tempter... and Rehan wins the battle! Brave delivery, tossing it up once more but this time wide of off stump. Hope tries to repeat the trick but can only find Brook's hands at wide long on. 123/5 14.4 to R Shepherd, ... and Shepherd edges to slip first ball! Good length, the right-hander decides to play back and ends up following the turn, edging to Curran's right. 123/6 See all photos
Adil Rashid	4	0	25	2	6.25	13	1	2	0	0
7.1 to KR Mayers, front of the hand and skidding on, hoicked to long-on! Mayers' eyes lit up as he attempted to seize on another short delivery but this wasn't the regulation legspinner's half-tracker and was on him quicker than expected. Completely underclubbed and it's a simple catch for Jacks a few yards in from the rope. England's premier spinner does the trick first ball, on to 99 wickets in T20Is. 78/2 11.3 to SO Hetmyer, Rash gets his 100th T20i wicket! History for Rashid, and a bit of a gift as Hetmyer skips down the track and picks out Duckett positioned on the midwicket fence. 101/4 See all photos
