    Target 172

    Wow. I can't get over how good that is from Reece Topley. That is definitely one to find on social media.

    The funny thing is - Shai Hope would have actually been out lbw. It hit his toe before the bat and it would have been crashed into middle stump.

    That is astonishing from Topley. He's about 6ft 15ins... truly extraordinary!

    BRILLIANT!

    Reece Topley sends down a very good in-swinging yorker and Shai Hope digs out a drive and Topley dives and parries it in his follow through.

    It dribbles towards Nicholas Pooran at the non-striker's end and Hope looks to steal a single.

    Topley picks himself up and hares after it, collects the ball and hits the outside of the stumps at the non-striker's end. Hope is a good yard or so short.

    It is absolutely SENSATIONAL!

    OH MY DAYS.

    This could be SENSATIONAL from Reece Topley.

    Not to mention a certain Jofra Archer, too.

    Archer is with the England team in Barbados as he continues his rehabilitation from elbow surgery.

    This has been a great start from England's second-string bowling attack, when you consider it would normally be Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.

    Target 172

    An excellent start from Saqib Mahmood.

    He concedes just two, with Shai Hope plinking a drive back down the ground.

    The required run-rate, which started at 8.6, is already up to 9.27. It doesn't take much for it to shoot up with this sort of chase.

    Three slips for your first game back after six years shows real confidence from Eoin Morgan. The ball is swinging too. Intriguing.

    Target 172

    An excellent start from Reece Topley.

    There was plenty of swing and bounce there for him too.

    That looked plumb at first sight but was actually a marginal decision in the end.

    Got him!

    It is umpire's call on impact and it is clipping leg stump too, but Reece Topley has got England an early breakthrough.

    Cricket, eh. Brandon King made a match-winning unbeaten 52 last night, but is out for a duck tonight.

  12. Postpublished at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2022

    Has it swung too much? This could be missing leg stump.

    Reece Topley strikes! Or has he?

    Brandon King has been given out lbw, but he send it upstairs.

    Time for the chase.

    Reece Topley, playing his first T20 international in almost six years, will bowl the first over.

    There was a horror over from Fabian Allen that kickstarted England towards taking 107 from the final 10. It feels 10 or 15 over par. You fancy how Liam Dawson and Reece Topley go will have a big say in how this match is decided.

    England's Jason Roy, speaking to BT Sport: "It's a great place to come and play. We were always going to give ourselves an opportunity today after yesterday. We did that and it's a big second half now."

    I'm not sure West Indies have exploited what's in this pitch. 171 feels like a winning score.

  19. Postpublished at 21:41 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2022

    England were 64-2 after 10 overs, so they added 107 in the back 10.

    That is a solid effort.

  20. Postpublished at 21:40 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2022

    That was much more like it from England. They batted a lot better and utilised the short boundary well.

    Is 171 enough, though? It came on better under the lights last night and is likely to do the same tonight.

    Who do you think will win? Thumbs up for England, thumbs down for West Indies.
