    This is how Dom Bess responded to being hit for six by dismissing Jason Holder...

    Alzarri Joseph clearly rates himself as a batsman. After surviving that shout he slaps an ambitious stroke down to long-on. Dom Bess has been buoyed by the wicket of Jason Holder. There's a spring in his step.

    Joseph has got no bat on it at all. He was nowhere near it.

    It's good we've got DRS for decisions like that.

    Joseph has immediately reviewed it. It's all happening.

    Joseph is given out this time! The umpire thinks he's been caught at short leg.

    But he doesn't think he has hit it...

    Alzarri Joseph is either the best judge of spin I've seen or that was a bit lucky. It was bouncing just over.

    I don't understand why he didn't play a shot at it.

    I wouldn't say that appeal was any more than semi-confident.

    England have two reviews left so they're going to use one.

    Alzarri Joseph hasn't played a shot to Dom Bess. It's close.

    That is an immaculate straight drive. A lovely shot.

    The rankings say otherwise, John. They have Holder above Stokes. Holder is great but I know who I'd rather have in my team.

    That said, Stokes has just been pumped beautifully for four by Alzarri Joseph.

    Ben Stokes wouldn't have got out to that...

    I feel for Jason Holder, he is quality. Easily the second best all-rounder in the world.

    Bess was biffed for four and then a six. He responded perfectly. It hasn't been his best day but he'll feel an awful lot happier now.

    This is now a big ask for the bowlers - Kemar Roach, Alzarri Joseph and Shannon Gabriel.

    Holder can't believe it! It was quicker and it turned and did just enough. That, you imagine, is the match-winning wicket.

    BESSY!

    Oh, how Dom Bess has loved that. You can see the frustration in his celebration. He has ripped one through Jason Holder's defence. A lovely ball.

    Bess gives the West Indies skipper a bit of a send-off. Surely that should be the crucial wicket?

    Well, that was unexpected!

    That's a proper biff! Holder takes the aerial route to Bess and clears the rope. It's not your usual approach to saving a match.

  20. WI 177-7published at 62.2 overs

    Jason Holder caresses Dom Bess for four.

    Getting twitchy?
