  1. WI 50-9published at 12.5 overs

    There is applause round the ground as West Indies reach 50.

    "Jeez," says Carlos.

    Carlos is speechless. I think he's checked out.

  3. WI 49-9published at 12.3 overs

    Almost the hat-trick!

    Adil Rashid beats the outside edge of Ravi Rampaul.

    Superb.

    It's catching practice for England.

    McCoy c Roy b Rashid 0 (WI 49-9)

    Gone first ball! Adil Rashid is on a hat-trick!

    Carlos Brathwaite literally doesn't know what to say. I can't see him, but I've just heard him sigh live on the radio, and I can be slouched down into his seat in disappointment.

    It is naive from Obed McCoy really. He looks to hit down the ground too, but just check drives straight to Jason Roy at long-on. Tame dismissal.

    Not much intent shown from Pollard in his innings, and then the big shot. That's been the story of the whole innings.

    I think you've got to chalk this game off. Well done to England.

    Pollard c Bairstow b Rashid 6 (WI 49-8)

    Adil Rashid strikes with the first ball of his second over too.

    Kieron Pollard looks to go downtown, but hits it straight to Jonny Bairstow at long-on. Bairstow, knees on the grounds, completes a simple catch.

    This has gone even better than Eoin Morgan must dreamt about last night.

    It's amazing to think there's no Jofra Archer, but Mills has slotted in perfectly.

  9. WI 49-7published at 12 overs

    There's an appeal to end the over, but there was a healthy inside edge onto the pads from Akeal Hosein.

    Tymal Mills has varied his pace from 87mph to 68mph so far. One of those slower balls deceived Hosein earlier in the over.

    It's not an intent thing. It's a lack of intent and then a panic shot. That is what is worrying.

  11. WI 48-7published at 11.3 overs

    Three singles start Tymal Mills' third over.

    Better from West Indies.

    The 43 dot balls in the first 10 overs are the second most England have bowled in the first half of a T20 innings.

    Tymal Mills is back on.

    West Indies would love to get to 100 from this position.

  15. WI 45-7published at 11 overs

    Four dots follow the wicket, before Akeal Hosein gets off the mark with a push down to long-off.

    England have bowled 48 dot balls so far today. That is RIDICULOUS.

    Akeal Hosein is batting with someone he calls his dad. They're both Trinidad.

    Hosein can bat - he has a first-class century.

    Akeal Hosein, who was a late call-up instead of Fabian Allen for West Indies, is the new batter.

    He's only batted once in T20 internationals, but he averages almost 16 in the format in domestic cricket.

    Russell b Rashid 0 (WI 44-7)

    And he strikes first ball!

    Adil Rashid bowls one out the front of the hand and it skids on and beats the defence of Andre Russell, who has a tame prod, and the ball crashes into middle stump.

    England are ALL over West Indies here.

    Adil Rashid is into the attack...
