    From England's point of view that's good over from Matthew Potts despite the wides.

    As a Hants fan, devastated that the jig is up and Dawson won’t be 100% available anymore!

  3. WI 141-8

    West Indies need 48 runs from 12 balls

    The booming six that Andre Russell struck at the beginning of the 16th over feels a long, long time ago.

    West Indies haven't struck a boundary since then, although two more wides from Matthew Potts do help their increasingly futile cause.

  4. WI 133-8

    West Indies need 56 runs from 18 balls

    Jacob Bethell walks back to his spot in the field with a grin on his face.

    His second over brought the big wicket of Andre Russell and just three runs.

    That one just didn't seem to bounce!

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

    Captaincy wise you have to decide when you are going to bowl Jacob Bethell, and it seems like Harry Brook got that one right.

  8. wicket

    WICKET

    Russell b Bethell 15 (WI 130-8)

    'Bowls him!' - quicker Bethell delivery dismisses Russell for 15

    And Jacob Bethell gets Andre Russell straight away!

    A quicker delivery and it's a big swing and a miss from DreRuss. The ball clatters into the stumps and Bethell wags his finger with delight.

  9. WI 130-7

    West Indies need 59 runs from 24 balls

    It's a tidy enough over from Adil Rashid to finish his spell. Andre Russell is still in but West Indies need 59 runs from four overs.

    Jacob Bethell is returning to the attack.

  10. Not out

    Red... red... green?! It was going over the stumps.

    Romario Shepherd survives.

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

    I don't think there's any bat on it.

  12. Mark Wood
    England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    He's played a sweep shot, but I would be surprised if this is three reds.

  13. West Indies review

    Adil Rashid thinks he has two wickets in two balls and so does the umpire.

    Romario Shepherd has a different opinion and signals for the review.

    He's down on one knee. Did that hit his grill? His shoulder?

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

    It's not the big wicket of Andre Russell but England are continuing to chip away.

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Motie c Banton b Rashid 3 (WI 130-7)

    Banton takes catch at long off to dismiss Motie for three

    Gudakesh Motie tries to go after Adil Rashid but his slog has no control and Tom Banton is waiting at long-off to gather the catch.

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

    This game is not done yet!

  17. WI 129-6

    'Hammered for six of the best' - Russell hits Rashid over deep mid-wicket boundary

    Yeesh. Absolutely clobbered for six by Andre Russell.

  18. WI 122-6

    West Indies need 67 runs off 30 balls

    Andre Russell is yet to free his arms. He has nine from 10 deliveries.

    West Indies need the big man to kick into gear.

    I might just about be right about West Indies getting all out for 130.
