    Target 225

    He may not be feeling too well but that is trademark Liam Livingstone. A swing of the arms and over the mid-wicket boundary.

    A nudge down the ground brings up Tom Banton's second T20 half-century from 12 matches. He raises his bat but knows his still has some job on his hands. His knock has come off 29 balls.

  4. Eng 92-3published at 9.4 overs

    Play resumes. A weary looking Livingstone is looking for the big hits but can't connect. He takes a single. Banton, on 49, is back on strike.

  6. Eng 91-3published at 9.1 overs

    Having hit a remarkable century, Rovman Powell is now going to see if he has the golden touch in the bowling department.

    A single for Banton moves him to 49.

    There's a slight delay in play as Livingstone, who is yet to face a ball, calls for the physio. He's taking in some water and looks a bit under the weather. Not good signs for England. They need him firing on all cylinders.

    The umpires call an early drinks break.

  7. Eng 90-3published at 9 overs

    Target 225

    The explosive Liam Livingstone is the new man in. With him and the settled Tom Banton in the middle, so much is relying on this England pair.

    WICKETpublished at 8.4 overs

    Moeen c Powell b Pollard 0 (Eng 87-3)

    Done by the change of pace! Moeen Ali goes for a duck.

    The plan to Moeen works as he chases at a full and wide delivery outside the off stump and the ball loops up to Rovman Powell at backward point.

  9. Eng 86-2published at 8.3 overs

    Pollard offers too much width and Tom Banton slashes hard for four down to backward point. Lovely shot.

  10. Eng 79-2published at 8 overs

    Moeen Ali is the new man in. England need a stellar performance from their stand-in captain today.

    Theo: James Vince’s international career at any level is like Groundhog Day on repeat... play a few nice shots and then hole out tamely.

  12. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 7.5 overs

    Vince c Pollard b Hosein 16 (Eng 79-2)

    Straight to the fielder! It's a poor ball from Hosein and a terrible shot from James Vince.

    It was a long-hop which should be heading straight to the stands, but Vince clubs it straight into the hands of Pollard at extra cover.

  13. Eng 79-1published at 7.4 overs

    James Vince gets in on the act! Six more! Vince makes some space and pummels it over long-on. And there's another great catch in the crowd. It's all happening!

  14. 6 runs

    Eng 72-1published at 7.3 overs

    Target 225

    Once again, Banton picks up Hosein perfectly. The batter waits back in his crease, the ball sits up nicely and it's pulled up and over the mid-wicket boundary.

  16. Eng 64-1published at 7 overs

    Terrific from Pollard. Just four from the over as Banton attempts a reverse pull to end the over.

    England need to make sure the boundaries keep on coming. They can't lost momentum.

  17. Eng 63-1published at 6.3 overs

    Tidy start to the over. Two from Pollard's first three deliveries with a smart line outside off stump. The ball isn't doing much but it's tricky for England to get it away.

  18. Eng 61-1published at 22:45 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    West Indies were 54-2 after the power play. So now all England need is a Rovman Powell in their ranks.

    Kieron Pollard bring himself into the attack.

  19. Eng 61-1published at 6 overs

    Much better from Hosein. Tighter line and cramping Banton for space before darting in a quicker delivery which beats the opener with pace.

    Banton picks the spin and that's out of the ground! A massive hit from the opener - he got right under it!

    Sweet Caroline is still being belted out. The DJ interjecting after each line with "I can't hear you" and the crowd duly singing the next line of the sound even lounder.
