    Brandon King and Kyle Mayers to open for the West Indies with the clouds now drifting over the Kensington Oval.

    Left-arm seamer Reece Topley is flicking the white ball up and down itching to deliver that first over.

    Kevin Ticehurst: Phil Salt coming in at 7, is ridiculous. James Vince experiment has long gone. Phil should be coming in 3, from now on!

    That feels a good score for England. They've had a good look at how the pitch is playing too and can adjust their plans accordingly.

    Adil Rashid will be key here, you feel.

    15 sixes on this pitch, against this bowling attack is absolutely fantastic. It certainly looks like a winning score, but we've seen in this series that anything can happen.

    Moeen Ali c Shepherd b Holder 63

    All good things have to come to an end.

    Moeen Ali, who played with the kind of joie de vivre and timing you dream of, miscues Jason Holder to long-on where Romario Shepherd dives forward to take the catch.

    Another full toss from Romario Shepherd and this time Moeen Ali waits and times it to perfection, lifting it back over the bowler's head for six. Beautiful.

  12. 6 runs

    The joy of six (sixes) for Moeen Ali. A ball after reaching his half-century he uses those fast wrists to whip a full toss from Romario Shepherd for another maximum.

    Impressive knock this from England's stand-in skipper.

    After all that glorious six hitting Liam Livingstone unsurprisingly attempts to get in on the act, but he cloths a delivery from Romario Shepherd into the hands of Brandon King at mid-off.

    This pitch feels most similar to the second T20, when 165-170 looked like plenty. I think that's what England will be targeting here. If they get 165, they'll have a very good chance of defending it.

  16. Eng 162-4published at 18.0 overs

    Moeen Ali not quite manages to hit five consecutive sixes, this time the ball flying down to third man and England pick up two.

    That's 28 valuable runs off that Jason Holder over.

    Six more! Four consecutive maximums.

    This time Moeen Ali steps across his stumps and uses his wrists to clear the ropes over mid-wicket.

    Deliciously clean striking of a cricket ball.

    And twice more! Moeen Ali again saunters down the pitch and effortlessly whacks West Indies Test skipper Jason Holder back over his head for three consecutive sixes.

    Jason Holder, who has a miserly 1-3 from his two overs, is back into the bowling attack for West Indies.

    Moeen Ali picks up length well from Holder and skips down the pitch, freeing his hands, and lifting the ball back over the bowler's head for six.
