4.1
Topley to Powell, FOUR, edged and past the keeper. Short of a length delivery angling away, Powell looks to defend, ball runs away fine off the edge

666666666666666666666666666
4.3
Topley to Powell, SIX, that has been hit over the ropes at deep backward square leg. Topley let out a big grunt as soon as he delivery. Wonder if he slipped. Powell used the width on this short delivery to power the pull behind square for a maximum. Oh Topley is on the floor

16:25 Local Time, 20:25 GMT, 01:55 IST:
Meanwhile the rain has picked up. Sun is out and the rainbow appears too. Groundsmen cover the entire square. One of those spells that shouldn't last long. Topley is walking off alongside the physio. Hope it's not a serious injury to him.

West Indies won't mind this break in play as it halts the rhythm for England

16:30 Local Time, 20:30 GMT, 02:00 IST: Rain has stopped. Players should return very soon.

WI 33/3 (4.3) CRR: 7.33

7.1
Mousley to Pooran, SIX, no he doesn't change his gears! First ball in T20Is and Pooran has belted him out of park over mid-wicket because he was offered a freebie full toss.

Gawn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8.2
Adil Rashid to Rutherford, out Caught by Buttler!! Oh edged and brilliantly held at slip. Was a thick edge as Rutherford was trying to square-drive off the back foot. Massive outside edge. Buttler just stretches his left hand out and it stuck. West Indies five down now!

Rutherford c Buttler b Adil Rashid 2(6)

Lick it allyuh

In reply to velo

You only need one man to in T20s sometimes..if he shows up big you just need supporting cameos..it's only 20 overs, 9 other batsmen facing a total of 60 deliveries striking at 200 is great stuff

100/5 from 12

12.1
Livingstone to Russell, 2 runs, in the airrrr, three men converge but it lands between all of them.

Siiiix Dre out of di ground

999999999999999999999999999999999999999

12.3
Livingstone to Russell, SIX, oh he's smacked this back over the bowler's head and that's hit the roof and gone out of the ground. Fast leggie that Russell didn't care about, went back and ensured the ball is lost

12.4
Livingstone to Russell, out Caught by Mousley!! In the airrrr and straight to deep cover. Livingstone has the last laugh and celebrates with a clap and fist pump. Dre Russ looks down in disappointment. This is the risk of playing aggressive cricket even when wickets are falling. Livingstone teased him with a full leggie, Russell wanted to hit straighter but sliced it to the sweeper.

Russell c Mousley b Livingstone 30(17) [6s-4]

WI 108/6 (12.4) CRR: 8.53

In reply to Narper

Onionbaxide must be happy with the 30

13.2
Jamie Overton to Pooran, out Caught by Buttler!! Huge wicket. Buttler has plucked a blinder out of thin air. The batter sliced it, the ball never went anywhere and was trying to pop over the man at cover. Buttler tumbled down and rolled over a couple of times to grab it. Pooran wasn't going back initially as he thought that Buttler might have grassed the ball but wasn't to be.

Pooran c Buttler b Jamie Overton 38(29) [4s-2 6s-3]

WI 110/7 (13.2) CRR: 8.25

What kind of batting is this?

Aim for 160

In reply to Halliwell

WI 117/7 (14) CRR: 8.36

60 more needed

Missing blind umpire

One more time

14.3
Adil Rashid to Akeal Hosein, no run
Hosein has reviewed one. He has quick to take the review. The umpire though had a proper look and took his own little time to raise is finger. Is it going down? there was a gap between bat and ball when the ball thudded the pads. The ball is missing the sticks. England have lost a review

14.4
Adil Rashid to Akeal Hosein, out Lbw!!

19.1
and nice way to start the final over. On the pads, Shepherd manages to stay inside the line of the delivery and heaves it over fine leg for a sixer. That was well adjusted by to create the room so that he could allow his hands to take over

Wicket time allyuh

2.6
Akeal Hosein to Philip Salt, SIX, pulled over long-on. Seemed like he didn't time it. But the ball went over the fence. That was bowled at 89.6 kph, Philip Salt had to go for the big shot, owing to the quiet over till that period. He got it just over and England take 8 off the over

3.2
Shamar Joseph to Philip Salt, SIX, poor delivery, put away. Not much short, Philip Salt

3.3
Shamar Joseph to Philip Salt, FOUR, fuller length delivery, outside off, stays leg-side of the ball and expands his hands into the shot. Manages to clear the off-side with elan as all fielders were inside the circle on the off-siden

This is an assalt on the WI attack!

5.3
Motie to Philip Salt, SIX, and six more. Fifty for Philip Salt. Fifty off 25 balls. He continues to fly high. His fourth fifty in T20Is. Was a short ball, Philip Salt danced down, got hold of the delivery and slapped it over deep mid. He is hitting them really hard
5.1
Motie to Philip Salt, SIX, and sixer to start the over. Was that a bad ball? I don't think so. The batter stayed back and launched it over long-off. That was more of a back foot punch. Hit it with a straight bat did Philip Salt

5.5
Motie to Will Jacks, SIX, Motie getting a taste of his own medicine. Will Jacks backed away, got under the fuller ball and slammed it over long-on for a sixer. England running away here

5.6
Motie to Will Jacks, out Bowled!! Jacks has been cleaned up here. Was bowled at 93.9 kph, at the sticks, Will Jacks preempts the slog sweep and misses the line of the delivery to be bowled. Huge strike for the Windies team as they finally get an opening. That was doled up a little and Will Jacks was a little early into the shot

6.4
Shepherd to Buttler, out Caught by Motie!! The England skipper is out first ball on his return to International cricket! A short, slower delivery outside off, Buttler tried to ramp it away with third-man slightly wide. Motie hares away to his left and then sticks out a hand to claim a blinder of a catch. Holds on and holds his balance just inches ahead of the boundary ropes. Literally snatched that out of thin air!

7.6
Shamar Joseph to Philip Salt, FOUR, superb!! A bit of cheeky timing to add to all that brute force from Philip Salt. A length ball that is just slightly outside off, Salt opens the bat face and guides this between short third and backward point for a four!

In reply to granite

they are force riping him.....he has been going for a 20+ over on a regular basis

In reply to Narper

I agree with you on that,they just throw him straight in, as they say, in the "deep end"
