Target 246
Brook opens with 'fantastic' on drive
On TV, they've just shown a fabulous side-on view of Joe Root's defensive stroke which opened the over. Head bowed, toes pointed down ballet-style as he jumps backwards. Lovely stuff.
However, Harry Brook steals the show with a picture-perfect drive down the ground for four.
Target 246
Brook dropped by Chase at backward point
Harry Brook dropped on four!
It's a very tough chance at backward point - the ball was flashed at Roston Chase - but it was a chance all the same.

The West Indies finally managed to build up some pressure.

Duckett caught at cover off Chase
Muted celebrations from West Indies as they bag the wicket of Ben Duckett.
He punches his shot straight to the fielder at cover and Evin Lewis smothers the ball.

Target 246
Jayden Seales returns to the attack and bowls a tidy over. Three singles added to England's score.
Target 246
Simple strike rotation brings up England's 150.
They need fewer than 100 runs to win and their run rate is above 10 an over. This could be over quite swiftly.

Target 246
Make that three boundaries in a row from Ben Duckett. He's toying with West Indies' fielders.
14 runs off the over.

Ben Duckett has started to motor on now. He didn't really get time on the strike when Jamie Smith was out there but you can tell that he's really in the mood now.

Duckett hits half-century as England charge towards target
The boundary lull doesn't last long.
With back-to-back fours, Ben Duckett has brought up his half-century off 34 balls. He's flying.

@ 19.18 - It's only getting carried away if Smith's aim was to get a century. If, instead, he realised he'd built enough of a score to bat freely, knowing who's coming in behind him, maybe going ultra aggressive was the best game management he could do!

Target 246
My arrival prompts a bowling change, with Roston Chase entering the bowling attack.
He concedes just four runs and completes the first over without a boundary since the eighth over.

This England batting line-up just looks so self assured, there's so much confidence.
There was a couple of shaky shots from Jamie Smith to start off with but once he found his groove he was untouchable.
Ebony Rainford-Brent
Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It's definitely all England at the moment. It started with Jamie Smith doing what he does playing strong shots around the ground. Ben Duckett has carried it on, Joe Root is just ticking over and finding the boundary when it's available.
Thanks Matt.
I've been side-tracked by the IPL since the rain delay so what have I missed?
Carbonara... Pigeons... Jamie Smith biffing it about... Right, I'm caught up.
England need 119 runs from 29 overs to sweep the series.
Target 246
Joe Root shows it takes more than a trip along the M4 to knock him out of his groove as he reverse sweeps his first boundary.
Elizabeth Botcherby is here to take over from me.

It's frustrating for the bowlers, especially when you have that left hand right hand combination. It makes it really difficult to just pin them down.
