Venue: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet
Need 10 from 24 balls
Four more to end a match-clinching over for England.
Phil Salt has dispatched Romario Shepherd for three fours and three sixes in the over.
The 30 runs conceded is the most by a West Indies bowler at a T20 World Cup. Ouch.

Savage by Salt, he is in great touch. West Indies are cutting forlorn figures out there. England are going to win this easily.
Need 14 from 25 balls
Brutal hitting from Phil Salt!
It's back-to-back sixes now and England are racing towards victory now.
The first is launched over long-off and the next effortlessly pulled behind square.

Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds
The worry for West Indies, the one area they have not covered is death bowling. England are taking advantage of that, they were able to milk the spinners and are now attacking the seamers.
Need 26 from 27 balls
Six back down the ground!
Hammered by Phil Salt and the fielder on the boundary can only watch the ball sail over his head.
Now uppercut for four. Salt is in a hurry!

Fantastic from Phil Salt, a well-deserved fifty, but he's going to want to be the man still there at the end.

He's taking England ever closer...

England are in prime position here, they've got it down to eight an over here. They've done the hard part, but can they get the job done? Jonny Bairstow has put England in the box seat.
Need 40 from 30 balls
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter Jonny Bairstow gets an inside edge that goes away fine for four more, Akeal Hosein ends the over with a dot ball.
The left-arm spinner goes for 16 in his last over after conceding just 19 in his first three.
England are in a very strong position now.

Excellent power from Bairstow there, he's really provided impetus. All he had to do was get it into that atmosphere and that wind carried it into the big boundary for six.
Need 45 from 32 balls
Six!
Top-edged by Jonny Bairstow but the wind carries the ball over the rope for a maximum.
This is turning into another very good over for England!

Do you think Kieron Pollard has ever looked stressed?
I'd have wanted him next to me while I did my A-levels.
Need 51 from 33 balls
Not timed but it's four for Jonny Bairstow on the sweep.
He beats the fielder at short fine leg and the ball runs away to the fence.
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds
The West Indies have opted for a very spin-heavy bowling line-up here and you would suspect all three spinners will bowl out.
Need 55 from 34 balls
It's all happening!
Jonny Bairstow misses with an attempted reverse sweep, bringing an appeal from the West Indies.
Phil Salt is also halfway down looking for a single but is sent back. He's quick but he was gone with a direct hit from Nicholas Pooran!
England have got their noses in front now.
Need 56 from 36 balls
An excellent over for England with 14 coming from it despite a decent recovery from Alzarri Joseph.
Phil Salt is now two shy of a half-century with Jonny Bairstow on 32 from 16 balls.
Here comes Akeal Hosein as the West Indies look for a wicket...
Steven Finn
Former England fast bowler on BBC Sounds
Joseph has bowled his bouncer now, so he doesn't have the option to bowl a proper short ball now. Bairstow is in the mood.
Need 60 from 40 balls
Crunch!
Banged in by Alzarri Joseph and Jonny Bairstow swats him over the leg side for six.
That sounded lovely off the bat and he overcuts the next over Nicholas Pooran's head for four.
