  1. England review

    No bat involved... this looks bad for Tom Banton.

  2. Scott Read
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    They've reviewed instantly. Tom Banton got the nod from Jos Buttler.

  3. England review

    Tom Banton is pinned low on his pad by a full ball by Andre Russell. It's given out, but Banton has reviewed it.

  4. Eng 116-3

    West Indies stack the leg side, and Jos Buttler attempts to go inside out to Andre Russell but it's a fresh air shot to the first ball of his second over.

    Buttler manages a couple and then nudges a single. Much tighter from Dre Russ - maybe those limbs needed an over to loosen up.

    There's no accounting for Buttler when he's in this form.

    Baps in Standish.

  6. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Russell has to look to get a wicket. They need Jos Buttler out.

  7. Eng 113-3

    Andre Russell back into the attack after being given a bit of tap by Jos Buttler earlier.

  8. Eng 112-3

    Rutherford makes catch at deep mid-wicket to dismiss Smith for 38

    Here's how Jamie Smith perished after he made 38.

  9. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The way West Indies have pulled this back, if they can keep England to 180, 200, they'll feel like they're in the game.

  10. Eng 110-3

    A good fightback from West Indies but England are still well placed to go north of 200 here as Gudakesh Motie shows good control of length.

    Once again poor shot selection by England batters

  12. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Roston Chase slows it up, deceives Brook.

    On a pitch like this, as a spinner, take the pace off and force the batter to either time it perfectly or put the weight back on it if you want to get boundaries.

    I love that subtle adjustment from Chase. It was quite brave to say I will put it up there, if you want to chip it over my head, fine, but it's on the stumps. You miss, I hit.

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

    England have slowed right down from 78-1 from the first six overs.

  14. Eng 108-3

    Tom Banton the new batter for England. He might have opened, possibly, but is instead coming in the middle order. He and Jos Buttler decide to play a little more cautiously for the remainder of Roston Chase's over as they pick up two singles apiece.

  15. Kieran Parmley
    Cricviz analyst

    Harry Brook in T20Is:

    • vs Pace - 9 dismissals, 54 average, 167 strike rate
    • vs Spin - 20 dismissals, 15 average, 121 strike rate

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

    No sign of emotion from the bowler, who just trudges down for a high five with the captain.

    Harry Brook looks back at the carnage behind him. Leg stump is rather comically at a 45 degree angle. It was an ugly heave, let's be honest.

    WICKET

    Brook b Chase 6 (Eng 104-3)

    Chase bowls Brook for six

    Canny bowling from Roston Chase.

    Harry Brook tries to give himself some room for a big shot and Chase reacts by pushing the ball through a little quicker from round the wicket.

    Brook is bowled.

  18. Eng 104-2

    Not a bad way to open your boundary account, Harry Brook!

    Echoes of Kevin Pietersen as the England captain switch hits Roston Chase for four.

  19. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I'm really impressed with how Harry Brook's come to the party. The way he's communicated in interviews, he's given a sense of confidence and knowing what he wants to achieve. It seems to be radiating.

    It's early in his career and you come out with enthusiasm but he does seem to have a clear game plan and a clear way of wanting to marshall the troops.

    He's an exciting prospect. He's shaping up nicely.

  20. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    One of the things I've never understood with finger spinners is whenever they're under pressure, they go quicker. The best in the world go slower.

    Motie looks so much better the slower he bowls. He's relaxing, going up and down, getting some drift.
