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.

Dwayne Bravo to Broad, 1 run
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

1W
Dwayne Bravo to PD Collingwood, 1 run, OUT
bashed down the ground for a couple. Collingwood races back, but the throw from Dwayne Smith is quick and accurate, replays confirming Collingwood's fate
Paul Collingwood run out (Smith/†Ramdin) 79 (41b 5x4 4x6 47m) SR: 192.68
It's all over
19.4
1b
Dwayne Bravo to Yardy, 1 bye
a slower ball which completely foxes Yardy, trying to slash this outside off but missing it
And he's absolutely fuming, furious with himself and he practises the stroke, lambasting himself for not going over the top
19.3
1
Dwayne Bravo to PD Collingwood, 1 run
another non-boundary, Collingwood flinging it over midwicket without timing
"Come on, Bravo," sings an English voice in the crowd somewhat confusingly.
19.2
2
Dwayne Bravo to PD Collingwood, 2 runs
mistimed to mid-off; Collingwood's quick between the wickets but he's going to be short of his ground here. In comes the throw, and the stumps are broken...but replays show he's safe
The physio had told Bravo not to bowl. He might be in for a rollicking later.
19.1
1
Dwayne Bravo to Yardy, 1 run
full, well bowled, Yardy drives it down to long-off
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).

Rampaul to PD Collingwood, 2 runs
again, fabulous ball which is too full for Collingwood to do anything with, clumping it through midwicket
Six or nothing for England

•
Rampaul to PD Collingwood, no run
Collingwood steps down the pitch, Rampaul simply drops it a touch shorter and it swings past Collingwood's flashing blade. Brilliant bowling
25 from 8. They really do need a rather large six
18.4
1
Rampaul to Yardy, 1 run
Yardy does a little jig to try and put Rampaul off, but he can only slash it off an inside edge to midwicket
18.3

Rampaul to Yardy, no run
oh well bowled, Yardy steps outside leg but Rampaul sends it wide of the off stump. Very clever, very alert
54 from the last 20 balls

Rampaul to Yardy, 2 runs
sponged down to third man for two
Carnage out there. What a mess
18.1
2
Rampaul to Yardy, 2 runs
full, straight, Yardy doesn't know what's going on, hammering it into his pads and they scamper for a single. Rampaul tries to throw down the stumps but misses by a country mile
Okay. 30 needed from 12. Yardy on strike and his eyes are on stalks
This is getting interesting..."Sidebottom's in the dugout with his pads on. He's not quite looking nervous... yet," Jen notes. Chris Gayle is laconic as ever, putting his arm around Rampaul's shoulder as though about to break into song, or see if he fancies a beer this evening. No beer for Rampaul just yet, though, as Gayle hands him the ball

Powell to PD Collingwood, FOUR runs
in the blockhole, Collingwood just stands tall and hammers it down the ground for four

Powell to Yardy, 1 run
uppercut down to third man who does really well to save four
17.4
1
Powell to PD Collingwood, 1 run
a full toss which takes Collingwood by surprise, pushed to midwicket
17.3
1
Powell to Yardy, 1 run
excellent ball, straight and full; Yardy can't do anything with it, pushing it out to cover
"The stands erupt. Well, not literally," clarifies Jenno.
Never doubted him, of course

Powell to Yardy, FOUR runs
Yardy's awake now! He pulls this through midwicket for four more
17.1
4
Powell to Yardy, FOUR runs
Yardy's hit a four! Again he put every ounce of energy into the stroke, the ball wallowing its way down the ground and it's just got enough on it to go for four
45 from 18 balls. Daren Powell's into the attack. This is massive.
