    A decent score but it could've been a few more.

  2. West Indies set 189 to win

    After England's blistering start they looked on course for 200 so you have to give West Indies some credit for hauling it back.

    WICKET

    Jacks run out (Russell/Hope) 9

    As expected, Will Jacks is run out.

    A throw from Andre Russell down the ground and Shai Hope whips the bails off. Jacks is well short.

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

    My instinct is he probably didn't make it home.

  5. Umpire review

    England attempt to take two after Will Jacks comes back for a second to the striker's end but he's struggling.

    The umpire's will check this.

  6. ENg 187-5

    A single and dot ball from Jason Holder after a Will Jacks fresh-air pull shot.

    Final delivery of England's innings incoming...

  7. Eng 185-5

    Jason Holder spitting feathers after Will Jacks picks up with a pull to deep mid-wicket. Another rather stiff-looking effort in the field from...Andre Russell.

  8. Eng 183-5

    Will Jacks goes deep in his crease and manages to whip Jason Holder's first ball behind square for four.

  9. Eng 179-5

    Will Jacks the new batter. A single to start.

    Six balls remaining.

    You wouldn't have seen Mark Wood leaping up and shouting at me: "That's your fault."

  12. Matthew Henry
    BBC Sport journalist at Chester-le-Street

    Those groans after Buttler was given will have been heard in Shane Watson's haunted castle over to my right.

    WICKET

    Buttler lbw b Joseph 96 (Eng 176-5)

    Joseph dismisses Buttler lbw to end 'brilliant' 96 run innings

    Gone... It looked out and was out.

    Jos Buttler shuffled across and was just done for pace by Alzarri Joseph.

    Four runs short of a T20 international century.

  14. England review

    No bat involved...but this does not look good.

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

    I think he's gone.

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

    There will be a horrible moment and a horrible pause for Jos Buttler here.

  17. England review

    Oh Jos.

    He's reviewed this more in hope than expectation after being hit on the pad by Alzarri Joseph attempting to work the ball to leg.

    Given out on the field.

  18. Eng 176-4

    Yorker from Alzarri Joseph dug out for Jacob Bethell for a single.

    Jos Buttler back on strike.

  19. Eng 174-4

    Alzarri Joseph punished twice for wider balls as he tries to nullify Jos Buttler.

    A bit of mishit from a fuller bull gives Buttler a single. He moves on to 96.

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

    He had a bit of a fright there Buttler.
