    Arjun Singh: My word. Glorious from Vince. Here comes a tame catch on the off side, though.

    Eng 27-1published at 2.0 overs

    James Vince has a steely expression on his face after he stylishly whacks Jason Holder back over his head for six. That shot oozed class.

    He follows it up with another four, via a wild slash outside off stump which flew through the vacant third man region.

    The wicket of Jason Roy aside, England are off to a pretty good start here.

    Tom Banton needs to step up to the plate now England's alpha opener in Jason Roy has been dismissed. Encouragingly he is able to whip a delivery from Jason Holder off his legs for four first up.

  4. Eng 10-1published at 1.0 overs

    James Vince the new man and he is off the mark with a couple through point after a slight fumble by Odean Smith.

    Akeal Hosein is cock-a-hoop! A sweep from Jason Roy into his own pad and the ball spoons up in the air. The alert Nicholas Pooran is able to dash round from behind the stumps and dive forward to take a catch.

    Roy is shaking his head as he walks off. He can scarcely believe it.

  6. Eng 8-0published at 0.2 overs

    Not sure this was the right step from Kieron Pollard with the field up. Jason Roy picks up two boundaries immediately.

    First he biffs Akeal Hosein back over his head for four, then he squirts a drive through the point area.

    Spin first up from West Indies, with left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein to bowl the first over. Jason Roy has just taken his guard and is ready to face.

    England's spinners 4-54 off 10, England's seamers 0-122 off 10. That tells us everything we need to know about the nature of this pitch and where the strength in England's bowling lies.

    England leggie Adil Rashid, who finished the pick of the bowlers with 2-17 off four overs, with a quick word during the break.

    He said: "I thought it was a pretty good performance from us on a good pitch with a short boundary.

    "As a bowler you have to adapt for to the conditions and be clever. It's about having plan Bs and plan Cs. It went my way today.

    "I'm confident we have the batters and a destructive line up to chase this total down now."

  12. WI 179-4published at 20.0 overs

    A wide yorker from Chris Jordan and a scrambled single for Rovman Powell to end the blistering finish to West Indies innings.

    Kieron Pollard finishes unbeaten with 41 off 25 balls while Powell ends 35 not out off 17 bals.

    Really ebbed and flowed that innings. Can England chase it down?

  13. 6 runs

    Clever batting.

    Attempted yorker from Chris Jordan and this time Rovman Powell goes back into his crease and gets under it, striking a flat six over mid-wicket.

    Stand and deliver from Kieron Pollard, who shuffles forward a couple of paces and then launches Chris Jordan right back over his head for another huge six.

    It took Pollard a while to get going but the West Indies skipper is motoring along now.

    Teamster: I don’t understand why England (and other teams for that matter) don’t bowl more spinners at the death. Spin is consistently more economical than pace in T20 cricket (this game being a great example) but England keep on turning to pace and get hit out of the ground.

  17. WI 160-4published at 19.0 overs

    A comeback of sorts from Reece Topley after that six with Kieron Pollard and Rovman Powell unable to find the boundary again. 14 off that over.

    Chris Jordan to bowl England's final over by the looks.

    Michael: Surely crazy that we're back to pace on from over 15 and going to leave 2 overs of spin unbowled? Quicks consistently going for more runs in every match.

  19. 6 runs

    WI 152-4published at 18.1 overs

    An absolute monster of a six from Kieron Pollard, who plonks his foot down and uses his considerable frame to muller Reece Topley over mid-wicket for a maximum.

    That's out the ground.

    That is the peril of the yorker. The margin of error is so small. It's the right idea from Jordan, but he didn't quite get it right.
