Hello... Joe Root is going to open the bowling. Have England been talking to Baldrick? I have a cunning plan...

Peter Thomas: To paraphrase Luke Skywalker "their overconfidence is their weakness".

No slips for Willey, who is getting a hint of hoop back into the pads. Charles is out of his crease, looking to negate the movement. When Charles gets too far over, England holler for a leg before decision, but that looks too high. Charles takes a single to fine leg, but that's the only run from the over...

"England have got to be all over this, swarming round, diving to stop everything to try and create as much pressure as they can."

David Willey has the new ball, Johnson Charles is on strike. The Universe Boss is at the other end. When Gayle gets to the business end, England must keep the ball out of his arc. Play.

"I don't imagine the West Indies will go about their business any differently because of the relatively modest target."

Chris Gayle's T20 stats are incredible. Breathe this lot in:

• Gayle has the best batting strike-rate (runs per 100 balls) in this year's tournament (194.64)
• His 100 not out against England in the group phase is the highest score against a Test-playing nation in the 2016 World T20
• He is the only player to score two World T20 hundreds
• He holds the record for the most sixes in World T20 history with 60 (Yuvraj Singh is second with 33)

England huddle, then break away in claps and whoops. As Chris Gayle emerges, Kolkata goes all kinds of loopy.

England wait on the boundary edge, watched by the Yoda-like Trevor Bayliss. There's some pretty horrific dance music being played. Samuel Badree, West Indies number 11, has got an ice-pack on his shoulder. Be ready, Sam...

Alex Webster: Root, Buttler and Willey scored 111 runs off 72, the rest 39 off 48.

However, I do suspect that it won't be enough for England. If they do manage to restrict the Windies, it would be some effort. I've got tickets to see Weezer tonight and then it's Wrestlemania. What a triumvirate that would make.

Nigel in Felton: West Indies to implode and be all out for 95. You heard it here first.

Thanks, Dawkesy. I arrive with this nugget. England's 155-9 is still the second highest score by any team batting first in a World T20 final. Hope?

To quote Kevin Costner's Elliott Ness in the Untouchables: "Never stop fighting 'til the fight is done."

That is all from me. Here is Stephan Shemilt to guide you through to the conclusion of this final.

If you want, you can watch England's horror start again...

"West Indies will be delighted. It is not enough, 155, but it is enough to give hope, there are possibilities with that score. There is the extra tension of a World Cup final." 

West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo: "We would take 155 to chase any day. It is important for our guys to get the treble [after the Under-19 World Cup and the Women's World T20 earlier today] but the game is not over yet so let's get these runs and then celebrate later."

If there is a highlight of England's innings it is once again provided by the brilliant Joe Root...

"It doesn't feel like it is enough, they are going to have to bowl out of their skins, field out of their skins and hope for luck."
