  1. WI 172-4 (need 11 off 18)published at 17 overs

    Jordan has been England's best bowler by a mile tonight. He's going at just over six an over, the rest at nines, 10s, 11s and - look away Ben Stokes - 16s. Jordan alone has found the knack of getting the ball up at that full yorker length where Chris Gayle can't get his enormous plank underneath it. Three from the over, but that won't stop West Indies.

    "Astonishing from Chris Gayle. But there's been some rather hapless bowling from England too I'm afraid to say."

    "It's far more surprising when Chris Gayle gets a single than when he hits a six  - 86 of his 97 runs have come from boundaries. Any thoughts about the man of the match? England had to get him out, but they couldn't."

  4. 6 runs

    WI 169-4 (Gayle 97 off 43)published at 16 overs

    Enormous! Just staggering power from Gayle, pulls a short ball off the front foot and it goes so high it's practically in orbit. It comes down somewhere on the subcontinent, I'm not even sure where. England are out of ideas. They can't stop him. They can't get him out. They can't touch him. This is Gayle's night.

  5. 6 runs

    WI 162-4published at 15.3 overs

    This is extraordinary from Gayle, absolutely brutal batting. Full ball from Willey outside off and Gayle smokes it like a kipper, one-bounce four that almost went flat. And the next ball is even better! Full toss from Willey, swung meatily over deep square leg for a maximum.

    "A lot of these England wides are Gayle-induced. Trying to keep it together when you're bowling against the extra special batsmen. Chris Gayle is one of those players who can make you play badly."

  7. WI 151-4 (need 32 off 30)published at 15 overs

    Chris Gayle scored a century in this first ever World T20 match back in 2007. No man has ever scored two World T20 hundreds. Chris Jordan is the man chosen to try and do the impossible for England. CJ is finding the blockhole pretty well, but the attempted wide yorkers are hurting him though, two wides in the over. Five off the over, respectable by the standards of this slogathon, but England need more than that to derail the West Indies here.

    "Chris Gayle has hit all of West Indies' sixes has he? Where there's life there's hope, for England, but 37 runs from 36 balls in T20 is not usually a problem. Eoin Morgan is looking desperate now."

  9. 6 runs

    WI 146-4 (Gayle 79 off 36 balls)published at 14 overs

    Gayle is in the mood to finish this quickly now. Lovely shuffle of the feet buys him the room to free his arms and tonk Moeen gloriously down the ground for a second straight six. Will he go for the hat-trick? Do you even need to ask? Full from Moeen, Gayle skips down to take it on the full and brutalises it down the ground again. West Indies are cruising...

    West Indies have avoided an upset - beating Pakistan by four runs in Chennai.

    And better news of Javeria Khan, stretchered off after being hit on the head - a Wisden India journalist has tweeted that she's had a CT scan in hospital and is "OK".

  11. 6 runs

    WI 134-4published at 13.4 overs

    This is slipping away from England - too straight from Moeen and it trickles past Buttler for four more free runs. Then Gayle sizes up Moeen Ali and lofts him effortlessly down the ground for a straight six. He's not done mind...

    "England have just got a bonus wicket but are not capitalising on it. They really need to put pressure on the person who is not Chris Gayle, the batsmen down the other end. It's wasteful to bowl so many wides. Will Eoin Morgan want to keep Reece Topley on?"

  13. WI 124-4 (need 59 runs from 42 balls)published at 13 overs

    Gayle, however, continues to score with impudent ease. Topley strays down the leg side and Gayle just helps it on its way for four. Another wide from Topley, the seventh extra of the innings, and that is starting to look very costly now. And another. Radar, Reece! His last ball is clobbered through extra-cover by Andre Russell, who opens his account with a four.

    "It was a ticklish one for the third umpire but I think they've used the technology well there. It was hard for the umpire to be sure. Gayle is still there, but the wickets are falling down the other end. Ugly, but England won't mind how they come."

    Bravo c Hales b Topley 2 (WI 113-4)

    There's your answer! Paul Reiffel reckons it's OK and England are just exerting a bit of pressure here. If they can get Gayle, they are very much in this...

  16. Third umpirepublished at 12.2 overs

    Big moment in the game! Reece Topley bowls a full toss and Dwayne Bravo swats it high in the air, and Alex Hales completes the catch. But was it a legal delivery? They're checking it upstairs...

    PD31: Too many extras from England - a full extra over bowled already (5w, 1nb) - criminal in such a short format.

    50 for Gaylepublished at 12 overs

    WI 113-3

    Gayle is teeing off here. He's winning this game. He brings up a 27-ball fifty with a flick to long on, then launches Moeen back over his head. Such a clean striker through the line and anything up is going the distance at the moment.

    "That was a strange shot, wasn't it? England's heads seemed to be dropping after those two sixes from Chris Gayle and in the next over Denesh Ramdin goes with a poor shot. It's hard to fathom his thinking. Gayle was going like a train the other end and there were singles everywhere."

    Ramdin c Rashid b Moeen 12 (WI 103-3)

    It's not the big man, but England will take it. Ramdin has looked about as comfortable as a man with piles on a bucking bronco, and now he perishes to a loopy top edge. The trouble is, that brings the explosive Dwayne Bravo to the crease.
