It is an absolute hammering.
Eng 56-4
And there it is! A Jos Buttler boundary as England beat West Indies by six wickets.
It's a thumping win and it's England quickest ever run-chase in T20 cricket.
Kieron Pollard brings himself on to bowl. Jos Buttler cuts it past point for two. England are just four away.

Only Hayden Walsh could get there to actually drop that.
This would have been nothing short of incredible! Eoin Morgan pulls and substitute fielder Hayden Walsh, running across the boundary, flings himself in the air and somehow manages to get his fingertips to the ball but can only push it towards the boundary for four.
Single. Single. Single.
Buttler, on the back foot, opens the face of his bat to guide it down to third man.
Morgan fends a short ball into the leg side.
And the Buttler takes one down to mid-off.

Has Malan injured himself fielding or something? As a run-a-ball 20* from your number three is exactly what this chase required.

With all the carnage at the other end Jos Buttler just looks so calm at the other end. It is like he is batting on a different pitch.
Need 13 to win
With men on the boundary, Buttler and Morgan prod, poke and pierce the gaps for four more singles.

BBC Test Match Special statistician
The match aggregate is now 94-14.
It was a brilliant catch, but I'm not overly sold on Pathan describing it as the best ever caught and bowled.
In comes Eoin Morgan - the England skipper is in need of some runs.

Livingstone c&b Hosein 1 (Eng 39-4)
It's one of those where you can watch several different camera angles and still be undecided. My opinion: he grounded the ball.
But with the soft signal being out, the TV umpire sticks with the on-field decision. Take nothing away from a brilliant piece of fielding from Hosein.

This feels a bit like VAR spoiling the game. If you come from that high in the air you must be in control of the ball.
(Eng 39-4)
Akeal Hosein takes a spectacular diving catch off his own bowling to dismiss Liam Livingstone? Or has he? The umpires are referring it to the TV umpire to see if whether his palm was down and the ball grounded when he took the grab.
The soft signal is out.
Need 17 from 84 balls
Schoolboy. McCoy bowls a no-ball and a free hit is served up to Jos Buttler, but the England opener can't capitalise and takes a single to deep mid-wicket.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or is it, finally, Dawid Malan???
No. It's Liam Livingstone who is the next batter in.

There was a shake of the head there from Moeen Ali as he walked off.
Carlos Brathwaite
West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special
Is that a 1.2% chance of a West Indies win now?
Moeen Ali run out (Lewis) 3 (Eng 36-3)
Yep, gone!
Jos Buttler had guided it down to short third man. Moeen was already halfway down the track. The throw came in, was picked up by McCoy who whipped the bails off.
