  1. I'm not sure I'm having any criticism of England tonight. Who would have thought they would even be in this final, let alone be so close to winning it? In the end, they were just hit by a Windian hurricane.

    Matt Chapman: Hold your head up high Stokes. You did your country proud but beaten by the better man at the end!

    Peterfeet: Oh Ben stokes 4 balls length in same place should have bowled outside off. Poor, really poor.

  3. They're dancing in the middle, the champion dance on the square. The women are out there too. These are incredible scenes. Carlos Brathwaite, sweating, puffs out his cheeks. He looks like he's climbed Everest. In cricketing terms, he just has.

  4. West Indies players celebrateReuters

    The Windies become the first team to win the World T20 twice. Curtly Ambrose holds three fingers to the camera - they hold the men's World T20, the women's World T20 and the U19 World Cup. Who says Caribbean cricket is dead?

    "This is absolutely numbing for England, they fought back so brilliantly and had their chance."

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Test Match Special

    "Four successive sixes to win, I have never seen that before and England look absolutely crushed."

  7. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "Stokes is inconsolable. Everyone is going up to him. It has been the most sensational game, Stokes has had something worse than his worse nightmare."  

  8. BrathwaiteReuters

    That is absolutely unbelievable. Carlos Brathwaite has hit FOUR SIXES IN A ROW to win the 2016 World Twenty20. Ben Stokes is in tears, it's like missing a penalty in a shootout. The Windies are on the pitch, Marlon Samuels has his shirt off, fireworks illuminate the sky, Kolkata is unhinged. I cannot believe my Stokie eyes.

    West Indies win the 2016 World Twenty20

    He's won it with a six!

  10. WI 155-6

    They're changing the ball. We have a delay. The Windies are lined up on the boundary edge. They're singing Brathwaite's name. Stokes looks utterly shellshocked.

  11. WI 155-6

    One to win. Carlos Brathwaite has done something remarkable. Here we go...

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Test Match Special

    "Stokes is on his knees, 18 from three and it is game over unless something remarkable happens."

  13. 6 runs

    WI 155-6

    He's done it again! THREE SIXES IN A ROW! Straight back down the ground! Scores are level. Kolkata is absolutely rocking. Stokes is on his knees. The Windies are jumping all over the place. Unbelievable.

  14. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "They are killer blows."

  15. 6 runs

    WI 149-6

    It's huge! Absolutely massive! Over long-on. Brathwaite did it against South Africa and he's doing it now. Seven from four. In. Cred. Ib. Le.

  16. 6 runs

    WI 143-6

    Oh my word. Six from the first ball. Heaved over long leg. Fireworks shoot into the sky. 13 from five.

  17. Vic Marks
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    "You have to say England are in the strongest position that they have been in during the whole match."  

  18. WI 137-6

    A long old chat between Stokes and Morgan. Brathwaite on strike.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Test Match Special

    "That is the ball of the tournament for me. Samuels, the dangerman, can't get on the strike because of Jordan."

  20. WI 137-6 (target 156)

    How are you feeling? It all comes down to this. Ben Stokes, your time is now.
