No bat involved, but DRS shows the ball was bouncing well over the stumps. Sheldon Cottrell seemed convinced but West Indies have burned one of their reviews early.
Sheldon Cottrell with a HUGE appeal for lbw after Jason Roy steps across his stumps and is struck on the edge of the pad, attempting to whip the ball square.
Could be close this.
Jason Roy has just taken guard and left-arm paceman Sheldon Cottrell has the ball in hand ready to steam in.
All the chit-chat at the Kensington Oval is there will be plenty in this pitch, which was used for the second T20, for the spinners. Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali may well have big a part to play for England.

The inclusion of Mayers gives West Indies a left and right hand combination, and very much looking forward to seeing Dominic Drakes, son of Vasbert. He gives it a whack and bowls pretty tidily, apparently.

James Gulleford: A blessing in disguise to lose the toss and be put into bat after what happened after winning the toss and bowling last time!
Incidentally, since the last T20 Cricket West Indies (CWI) have denied reports of a rift within the team.
Reports in the Caribbean media alleged there was a disagreement between Kieron Pollard and all-rounder Odean Smith.
CWI president Ricky Skerritt said: "I view this as a malicious attack on the credibility of the West Indies captain, designed to sow division within our team.
"This clear attempt by well-known mischief-makers to discredit the captain and to derail the team's momentum in the ongoing T20I series should not be tolerated or encouraged."
Dominic Drakes, my learned colleague Marc Higginson has just informed me, is the son of Vasbert Drakes who you may recall played county cricket with Sussex, Nottinghamshire, Warwickshire and Leicestershire.
He also played 34 ODIs and 12 Test for West Indies between 1994 and 2005.

It feels like England have gone with their best available XI, so that ends any talk there was beforehand about the series result not being so important.
Two changes for West Indies too as Kyle Mayers and Dominic Drakes replace Shai Hope and Fabian Allen.

The weather forecast in Barbados is a sunny 28c at the moment. Might be the odd bit of precipitation around later but hopefully the Kensington Oval will miss it.
England have made two changes to their XI with Chris Jordan and Sam Billings back in the side.
Harry Brook and George Garton are the men to make way.
Moeen Ali is skipper with Eoin Morgan still out with a quad injury.

West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard has won the toss and elected to bowl first.
A typical Saturday night, eh? You'd have your best clobber on and be ready to strut your stuff on the dancefloor like John Travolta in his pomp...
I've got two left feet, however, so my Saturday nights during my dancing prime were spent watching a grainy VHS recording of England's best moments at the 1992 World Cup instead.
Saturday White (Ball) Fever. Does that work? Probably not, but I've hit publish on this entry so it's too late now.
This is a rather contrived way of saying, welcome to our live text commentary of the fourth T20 between West Indies and England from Barbados.
