West Indies will rue those early wickets and the 16th and 17th overs.

Four more off the final ball!
Too full this time from Mousley, as Alzarri Joseph drills it past mid-off.
After an eventful first 20 overs, West Indies set England 146 to win.
WI 141-8published at 19.4 overs
Chaos!
Mousley fields off his own bowling and launches the ball wide of Jos Buttler in a run-out attempt, which gives away an overthrow, before Jos Buttler misses a stumping from the next ball.
WI 139-8published at 19.1 overs
Dan Mousley will bowl the final over and his first of the evening.
He starts with a rank full toss which Alzarri Joseph thumps for four.
WI 135-8published at 19 overs
What a shot!
Akeal Hosein gives himself some room outside leg stump and lofts a six over extra cover! Not bad from the number ten.
WI 127-8published at 18.4 overs
Four leg byes, precious bonus runs for West Indies as Sam Curran drifts down the leg side.
Akeal Hosein then chips one in the air, with cries of 'catch', but it lands safely in front of Jofra Archer running in from deep mid-wicket.
WI 122-8published at 18 overs
A much-needed boundary for West Indies as Alzarri Joseph clubs one down the ground, before he gets lucky with a top-edge that just evades Liam Livingstone running backwards from mid-off.
They scamper two from it, and Jamie Overton finishes a fine spell of 3-20.

Powell c Bethell b Overton 54 (WI 113-8)
And the pressure tells on the captain!
Jamie Overton picks up his third, as Rovman Powell tries to chip one over the leg side but picks out Jacob Bethell, who takes a simple chance.
West Indies' hopes of winning probably depart with their skipper there.
WI 113-7published at 17 overs
A quiet over is not what West Indies ordered.
Jofra Archer concedes just two from his final over and finishes a decent spell of 1-25.

WI 111-7published at 16 overs
Alzarri Joseph gets off the mark with a single but the fast bowler has quite a simple job here.
Get the captain back on strike. Rovman Powell has to face as many balls from these last four overs as possible if West Indies stand a chance.

Motie c Jacks b Overton 0 (WI 110-7)
Two in the over! West Indies are crumbling.
Back of a length with the pace off and Gudakesh Motie can't resist. He tries to club the ball down the ground but picks out Will Jacks at mid-off instead, with the simplest of catches.
That partnership between Romario Shepherd and Rovman Powell is the only bright spark in a bleak innings so far.

Shepherd lbw b Overton 30 (WI 110-6)
Image source, Getty ImagesJamie Overton breaks the partnership!
A well-executed slower ball deceives Romario Shepherd. It's very full and he tries to whip it into the leg side but is too early through the shot so the ball strikes him on the back leg.
Gudakesh Motie replaces Shepherd and joins the Windies skipper in the middle.
WI reviewpublished at 15.1 overs
Let's try again, shall we?
Romario Shepherd is hit on the back leg from a very full Jamie Overton delivery. He's given out on field, but eventually sends it upstairs.
WI 110-5published at 15 overs

Powell is well-set for a destructive finish with 53, while Romario Shepherd is supporting him nicely with 30.
50 for Rovman Powellpublished at 14.2 overs
WI 105-5
A captain's knock.
Rovman Powell reaches a 36-ball fifty with a monstrous six off Sam Curran, who kindly offers him a half-tracker to launch over square leg.
WI 98-5published at 14 overs
Saqib Mahmood finishes a cracking spell with 3-17 from his four overs.
What a series he's having. England have really applied the pressure on this partnership after drinks, considering how explosively it started.
Not outpublished at 13.4 overs
Nothing!
Phil Salt shrugs, as there is a flat line past the bat and Rovman Powell survives.
England reviewpublished at 13.4 overs
Another odd review!
Nobody appeals, apart from the keeper Phil Salt, who is adamant that Rovman Powell has gloved one down the leg side.
With a second to spare, Jos Buttler makes the signal.
