  1. 6 runs

    WI 149-6

    Boundaries for both batters!

    Powell scoops nicely over his shoulder for four, before Holder goes down the ground again for a flat six.

    Another two behind square makes it 20 from the over.

    That's a rare blemish for England today and Jacob Bethell will be annoyed.

  3. dropped catch

    Holder dropped on nine

    Diving forward... not this time!

    Holder strikes Bethell down the ground again, Will Jacks runs in from the boundary but can't hold on while pitching forward.

    The batters run a single.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The gentleman in the crowd went all-in to take that catch and he has been doing a handstand for almost three minutes after toppling over. There were three gentlemen who went to help him while the lady sitting beside him chuckled away.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 135-6

    Bethell back on... and Holder smacks him down the ground for six.

    There's drama in the crowd as a man pitches over two rows of seating attempting to take a catch, and it takes a few members of the crowd to lift him up.

    He appears to have cut his hand, but seems in good spirits otherwise.

  6. Aatif Nawaz
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Liam Dawson looks very uncomfortable but hope that he hasn't done himself too much damage.

  7. WI 129-6

    That fooled the crowd, but it can't fool me.

    Holder smacks the ball down the ground and Ben Duckett is there again, sliding in... but he's just short, taking the ball on the bounce.

    The West Indies take a single.

  8. WI 127-6

    Oooof, couple of stingers.

    Jason Holder smacks a ball off Liam Dawson's knee, then strikes the fingertips of the spinner just above the ground on the way to mid-on.

    Holder takes a single to move to two, having seen Dawson's first ball go for five wides down the leg side.

  9. How's stat?!

    A diving catch from Harry Brook dismisses Romario SheperdGetty Images

    That was outstanding from Harry Brook. It was a full three metres in front of Brook but it's a full-length dive from the England captain.

    It's a testament to the commitment shown by the England fielders in this match.

    WICKET

    Shepherd c Brook b Rashid 0 (WI 120-6)

    'That was outstanding!' - Brook dismisses Shepherd with a stunning catch

    Taken inches from the ground!

    That's a superb catch from Harry Brook, diving forwards in the covers to snaffle Romario Shepherd just above the turf.

    The West Indies batter had almost offered a caught and bowled from the previous delivery and pushes at this ball, spooning the ball up into the off side.

    Adil Rashid is so impressed he offers his captain a round of applause.

  13. Shimron Hetmyer was starting to cause real issues for England before Jacob Bethell dismissed him.

    'That's an absolute monster!' - Hetmeyer hits six out the ground

    Duckett takes catch at long-on to dismiss Hetmyer for 26

    Shai Hope was pummelling it at the start of the over but Brydon Carse has come back strongly with a fast and furious delivery.

  15. WI 119-5

    Romario Shepherd attempts a big pull shot from his opening delivery, but can't connect with Carse's closing delivery.

    WICKET

    Hope c Buttler b Carse 45 (WI 119-5)

    'As easy as you like' - Buttler takes catch to dismiss Hope for 45

    Revenge for Brydon Carse!

    Shai Hope backs away from his penultimate delivery before trying to adjust an turn the ball into the leg side.

    Instead he offers up a big leading edge and the ball loops up for a simple catch for Jos Buttler.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There is a very celebratory vibe here in Southampton now.

    England have shown some terrific entertainment, first with the clean sweep of the ODI series and now the T20s.

    This is a very, very exciting England line-up that is offering all the entertainment you could hope for from a T20 sides - sixes, fours and some astute bowling at times as well.

    I am loving this. As a bowler, you need to control the play but Shai Hope has tried to control the game here with this passage of play.

  19. 6 runs

    WI 119-4

    Six, four, four to welcome Brydon Carse back into the action.

    Shai Hope reverse ramps the Durham seamer from consecutive deliveries, the first clearing the ropes and the second needing one bounce.

    He follows up by cleaving the ball over the covers, moving to 45 to 25.
