    England have quality bowling. I'm not worried about that, but I'm not confident about the batting under the extra pressure they will be under in Australia.

    England need 156 from 20 overs

    Jason Holder turns to the spin of Ashley Nurse. Perhaps to get through these overs as quick as possible, put further pressure on England and widen the gap between this run chase and the DLS par score.

    More of this from Jos Buttler will do England the world of good. Tossed up by Nurse and Buttler drills it down to the long-off boundary for four. The 200 up for England.

    Buttler 16, Moeen 8

    Rovman Powell is in for his second over. Can Buttler and Moeen settle things down here after the flurry of wickets? With the rain coming, do they have time to take an over or two?

    Six singles from the over.

    Rachel T: Chris Gayle. One handed diving catch. Two things I didn't think were possible to type together, no matter how many new characters Twitter allows!

    Target 357

    Some width from Joseph and Moeen Ali is off the mark with a pull through the mid-wicket for four. A fired-up Joseph responds with a ball shaping away from the left-hander, who plays and misses. Moeen ends the over with an edge wide of slips and down to third man for a single. West Indies in the driving seat here.

    He might not be ale to run, but he can dive. A huge Cheshire cat grin on the face of Chris Gayle.

    I'm half wanting to laugh and I'm half in amazement at how good the catch is. Gayle been stood there all day. He almost started giggling when he realised he was going to catch it. He's just an entertainer.

    Billings c Gayle b Joseph 2 (Eng 181-5)

    The Universe Boss with a stunning catch, West Indies are pumped. Sam Billings plays it too early, looking to clip it onto the leg side, but instead edges it to the right of Gayle who takes a one handed diving catch low down. England five wickets down. Joseph with all five.

    Buttler 14, Billings 2

    Sam Billings the new man, and off the mark second ball with a single off the military medium of Rovman Powell. England need a few overs to calm down here, but do they have time for that when they are barely halfway to their target?

    That is an unbelievable catch. That was travelling - it was well connected and you suspected it would go for a flat six. West Indies have really come out to play.

    Morgan c sub (K Hope) b Joseph 19 (Eng 174-4)

    What a grab! Not the greatest of balls from Joseph, it's there to be pulled but substitute fielder Kyle Hope at long leg leaps high to take a terrific catch at full stretch. Catches wins matches. Morgan's dismal run continues.

    Target 357

    Direct hit and Eoin Morgan's poor run would have continued .... Butler prods it down the wicket, the England captain goes for a single, when there was no single to be taken. As he scrambles back to the non-striker's end, bowler Alzarri Joseph picks up, turns and throws, but can't connect. A lifeline for England.

    Cheers, Stephan. You've done well to keep the rain away. England are eight runs behind the DLS par score.

    So, both men at the crease could do with some runs here. Let's see what happens.

    Jonny: Good opportunity for Morgan to prove his doubters (me included) wrong.

  16. Eng 174-3published at 25 overs

    Spin for the first time, Ashley Nurse on to bowl his offies. Eoin Morgan might be pleased to see the back of pacemen probing his off-stump channel. Lovely from Buttler, a drive wide of mid-off for four. Bubbling up to be a good one, this. Kal Sajad will talk you through to the finish.

    This is Eoin Morgan's first score over 10 in 10 innings. That's taking into account domestic T20s, one T20 against the Windies and three ODIs.

    Joseph 6-0-46-3

    It was an under-edge from Root. It looked like he was through the shot a little early. Jos Buttler is the new man, batting at five in the absence of Ben Stokes. Buttler could do with a score, too. He's away with a clip through mid-wicket for four, celebrated by some Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs.

    That's a big wicket. The same combination of Joseph and Hope. That was there to pull but he just did not pick up the ball.

    Root c S Hope b Joseph (157-3)

    Alzarri Joseph strikes again! He's removed all of England's top three and given the Windies the upper hand in this match. Joe Root is the man to go, looking to pull a delivery that wasn't quite short enough and getting an edge through to Shai Hope. No words from Joseph this time, just a jump for joy. England wobbling.
