Good running sees Akeal Hosein get off the mark with a couple.
There's a chance of a run out to end the over but Saqib Mahmood's throw just misses the stumps.
Mahmood is about to have a bowl. He'd love to pick up these final two wickets.

Straight to deep square leg!
A slower ball from Chris Jordan and Fabien Allen can only whip it straight down the throat of Tom Banton.

Moeen Ali is done for the day. He finishes with 3-24 with the ball, after making 31 with the bat earlier. A strong candidate for man of the match, you'd think.
West Indies need 83 from 36 balls.
WI 88-7published at 13.5 overs
Massive!
Fabian Allen gets down and slog sweeps Moeen Ali for a ginormous six.
West Indies are showing they have power throughout the order, they just needed someone to bat through tonight.
