WI 160-8
England 1st Over : 6 4 4lb dropped wide 2 W.
1 over WICKET - Hales b Cottrell 11 (Eng 17-1)
Bowled him! Cottrell is saluting again.
Somehow the big left-armer gets a wicket from what was a wretched over. His final delivery is the only one that is really on target. Hales tries to whack it and when he misses he hears the thud of leather on timber.

8.3 overs WICKET - Morgan c Gayle b Brathwaite 8 (Eng 83-3) Gone!
11.3 overs WICKET - Bairstow c Brathwaite b Nurse 68 (Eng 103-4)
West Indies hold on to a catch! A thoroughly entertaining innings comes to an end as Jonny Bairstow goes for another huge six, and ends up guiding the ball towards Carlos Brathwaite on the boundary.

17.4 overs WICKET - Denly c Pooran b Holder 30 (Eng 153-5)
Whoops.
Jason Holder keeps going with the short ball and Joe Denly, with England needing just eight runs to win, holes out.

Fantastic knock from Sam Billings to get England up to a good total after a really dodgy start.

2.2 overs WICKET - Gayle c Root b Willey 5 (WI 12-1)
Big wicket!
That's a horrible shot from Chris Gayle, actually. It's full from David Willey and Gayle tries to force the ball over mid-on for six. Instead, he guides the ball straight towards the waiting Joe Root, who has to take half a step backwards to take a comfortable catch.
2.4 overs WICKET - Hope c Morgan b Willey 7 (WI 13-2)
My WORD, what a catch!
Simply astonishing from Eoin Morgan. Shai Hope spoons the ball high, way way high, into the air. Morgan comes running around the leg side, eyes on the ball, and somehow gets underneath it. He clings on but Tom Curran, also coming around for the catch, crashes into him. Morgan, somehow, balances himself and keeps hold of the ball, but both he and Curran have taken a couple of nasty knocks. Ouch.

Fantastic knock from Sam Billings to get England up to a good total after a really dodgy start. I still think of Billings as a promising kid. Then find out he’s 27

0.1 overs WICKET - Hope c Hales b Willey 0 (WI 0-1)
Gone! First ball!
Shai Hope has a flat-footed push at David Willey's first delivery of the match, and a thick outside edge on a full ball flies straight to Alex Hales at cover. And I mean straight at him. Hales didn't even have to move to snaffle that one up.

2.3 overs WICKET - Hetmyer c Jordan b Willey 8 (WI 10-2) Shimron Hetmyer tries to go big but it's a clever slower ball from David Willey, and the batsman doesn't time his drive properly. And of all the fielders to hit a ball to, Chris Jordan is the least likely to drop it. He takes a comfortable catch jogging backwards at mid-off, and once again, West Indies are two down for not a lot.
4.1 overs WICKET - Campbell c Denly b Willey 11 (WI 24-3)
Three for David Willey!
4.3 overs WICKET - Bravo c Bairstow b Willey 4 (WI 24-4)
David Willey has his best T20 figures - after just 27 balls!

8.4 overs WI 45-4
That'll be the first big hit of the match! Joe Denly is drifting a couple of gentle leg-breaks under Jason Holder's nose and eventually West Indies captain goes straight down the ground. 8.5 overs WICKET - Holder c Jordan b Denly 11 (WI 45-5) And now Jason Holder falls!
9.4 overs WICKET - Pooran c Jordan b Wood 11 (WI 48-6)
Good news: West Indies have gone past 45. Bad news: Nicholas Pooran has just holed out.
10.2 overs WI 54-6
Fabian Allen isn't a tailender, mind. An almighty heave over mid-wicket - that's out of the ground!
10.3 overs WICKET - Allen b Rashid 7 (WI 54-7)
Even Fabian Allen is smiling at this one. He didn't pick the googly at all!
Adil Rashid fizzes the wrong'un back into the right-hander, who slashes late at it, misses and sees his stumps rearranged. Top of off, beauty. Allen was backing to hit that through the off side.
11.2 overs WICKET - Brathwaite c Bairstow b Wood 0 (WI 56-8)
Young Jonny Bairstow, come on down! What a snaffle this is! Carlos Brathwaite drives at one in the channel, gets a thick edge on it and Bairstow plucks the ball out of the air with his right glove. Spectacular catch. Two wickets for Mark Wood now.
11.5 overs WICKET - Cottrell b Wood 4 (WI 60-9)
...and Mark Wood does get one on the stumps.
A ripping low full toss batters over off-stump as Sheldon Cottrell backs miles away to leg and misses again with a ferocious hoik. What an innings. Four, swipe, bowled.

5.0 overs, Eng 30-1, Bairstow 9, Root 1 6.0 overs, Eng 39-1, Bairstow 18, Root 1
6.1 overs Bairstow dropped on 18, dropped a dolly by Hetmyer
7.0 overs, Eng 49-1, Bairstow 26, Root 2 8.0 overs, Eng 60-1, Bairstow 37, Root 2
8.1 overs WICKET - Bairstow b Bishoo 37 (Eng 60-2)
Maybe West Indies should've opened the bowling with Devendra Bishoo. The leg-spinner's first delivery is a jaffa - dip, turn and a bit of fizz off the pitch to hit the top of off. Jonny Bairstow was bamboozled and can't angle his bat into the path of the ball in time. Still, damage done.
9.0 overs, Eng 60-2, Root 2, Morgan 0 - wicket maiden from Bishoo

Windies performance in the last game, even the last two games, was bloody awful. It was like they had chucked the towel in. That said Chris Jordan's performance with the ball in the T20 series with have stood him in good stead for his chances of making the World Cup squad this summer, although with Archer now also in the mix I'm glad I don't have to select which pace bowlers make the final squad.
