    Hint, hint, Steve Borthwick...

    This is good from Mahmood in fairness.

    It doesn't matter what sport England play, they can't close it out.

    Pete, Keighley

  3. WI 165-8

    I'm told Brian Lara is in the house tonight.

    Gudakesh Motie flicks with a flourish the great man would have been proud of but this time the ball is stopped on the boundary edge.

  4. WI 163-8

    A good start with the wide yorker by Mahmood, who took three wickets with the new ball.

  5. Saqib Mahmood will indeed bowl the 19th over...

  6. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    Game of punch and counter punch - and right now England need to be careful in the run in towards the end of the innings.

  7. WI 162-8

    Jamie Overton beats his hands together in frustration at the end of the over.

    Where do England turn at the death here?

    Mahmood and Curran maybe?

  8. WI 161-8

    This partnership is hurting England now.

    West Indies were 117-8 when they came together.

  9. WI 156-8

    Make that 31 not out from nine balls!

    Edged for four by Motie off Jamie Overton.

  10. WI 152-8

    Shepherd 12, Motie 27

    Motie has 27 from eight balls. Romario Shepherd has score six in this partnership of 34.

  11. WI 150-8

    Who had Gudakesh Motie as England's destroyer?

    This is extraordinary. West Indies number 10 creams a drive through the covers.

    Jos Buttler comes in for a chat with his bowler.

  12. WI 146-8

    Motie does it again!

    This time he lifts a short ball from Sam Curran over extra cover.

    Four more.

  13. WI 141-8

    Gudakesh Motie has come to play.

    He drives with far more style than a number 10 should to hit Liam Livingstone for four and now has 18 from his first four deliveries.

  14. How's stat?!

    Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    The lowest score defended on this ground in T20 internationals is 133-7 - at the World T20 in 2010, New Zealand managed to defend that against Pakistan, winning by one run.

  15. WI 133-8

    This is a truly extraordinary game of cricket.

    Wickets, reviews, sixes, superb catches and now a four biffed down the ground off Liam Livingstone.

  16. 6 runs

    WI 129-8

    This game!

    Gudakesh Motie whacks his first two balls for six!

    Adil Rashid did not see that coming and neither did I.

  17. Kevin Howells
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    It’s not just the wickets for Adil Rashid but that first over after the powerplay was so important as was Sam Curran's first over - taking the air out of the batting when it was needed.

  18. wicket

    WICKET

    Hosein lbw b Rashid 2 (WI 117-8)

    Absolutely plumb. Beautifully bowled by Adil Rashid.

    Akeal Hosein's brief but action-packed innings ends on two.

    England are closing in.

  19. I'll eat my keyboard if this one isn't out...

  20. West Indies review

    A repeat the very next ball!

    Hosein reviews the lbw shout again.
