    Was he getting carried away when hitting the 64 off 28, or just when he got out? Smith effectively ensured this game is done.

    It’s a brilliant innings from Smith, don’t get me wrong…..BUT 64 off 28 could be 130 not out off 100 at the end just by knocking it around now. The final tick to his box as a player is game management. He got carried away! Still a fantastic talent.

    You can see why England love Jamie Smith so much, even if it did prove his undoing...

    What I like about that is that it was a slower ball, he had to wait a fraction of time, rode it out and then hit it big.

  5. Eng 119-1

    With Brendon McCullum looking on like a proud dad from the dressing room, Ben Duckett swishes a bat at another on his hip and sends the ball sailing over the fielder on the boundary.

    I think the only pressure here is to get the clean sweep. If anything, you just want the players to play their normal way because they are naturally aggressive players.

    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There's been a little bit of sloppy fielding from the West Indies.

  8. Eng 112-1

    Duckett 33, Root 5

    It feels like this Oval crowd has just settled into their late-evening slump now with the Smith pyrotechnics over. They're quiet until Ben Duckett flicks the final ball of this over off his pads and through the hands of another fumbling fielder for four.

    England reached 100 runs in just eight overs, which is the joint fourth-fastest in men's ODI cricket.

  10. Eng 100-1

    Need 146 runs from 32 overs

    The calmest of singles takes England to their 100 at the end of the shortened powerplay.

    Here's the Jamie Smith effect in worm form.

  11. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    Jamie Smith had 64 from 28 balls with three sixes and 10 fours. He reached 50 in just 25 balls, which is the joint eighth fastest in England men's ODIs and the joint third fastest by an opener.

  12. Eng 96-1

    A misfield allows in-form Joe Root to get off the mark.

    Jamie Smith played some strokes, didn't he...?

  13. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Jamie Smith has done his job as the opening batter but he'll have to go. He's really set the tone.

    Smith b Motie 64 (Eng 93-1)

    Ah.

    It was thrilling but Jamie Smith goes having one heave too many as spinner Gudakesh Motie fires one through him. Smith has to depart for 64 from just 28 balls.

  15. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Tricky. You bowl one just slightly short and you get smacked. Jamie Smith sensed that Gudakesh Motie was trying to find his length and punished him for it.

    SIX more!

    This could be over before the sun sets.

    Drop, four, six and now four.

  18. Henry Moeran
    Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Jamie Smith looks very much at home, dancing down the track and clobbering the ball down the ground.

  19. 6 runs

    50 for Jamie Smith

    Jamie Smith brings up his first ODI fifty in stunning style - a lofted drive over mid-on for six.

    And don't you know it? The next ball is punched for four.
