    Time for us to leave it there for tonight.

    Here's Mike Peter's report as West Indies beat England by 10 runs in the second T20 to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

    The next match is on Saturday, 16 December at 17:30 GMT.

    You don't have to wait that long for more cricket though.

    We've got radio commentary from day two of the Australia-Pakistan Test in Perth from 02:20, before live text updates from the second day of England women's Test against India from 03:45.

    Heather Knight's side need early wickets and then to bat well!

    See you then.

    England have got a foot in in both games but haven't been able to kick on. They'll be talking in team meetings about how they capitalise on the momentum.

    England still have Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes to return to the squad. Bowlers Gus Atkinson and Reece Topley have watched on so far in this series.

    They have players to come in, but they only have seven games before their World Cup defence starts now.

    Head coach Matthew Mott and captain Jos Buttler need to find a winning formula and quick.

    What has happened to England's batting?

    At the toss Jos Buttler was asked about West Indies hitting 14 sixes to their six in the first game.

    It was similar tonight with Windies smashing 13 to England's eight.

    Not that long ago England had the most powerful batting line-up in the world. They are now struggling to match other sides.

    West Indies started shakily in the first 10 overs in both games but then came back well in both.

    I want to give a shoutout to Gudakesh Motie. They say to never bowl three overs on the spin but he did four on the spin and only conceded nine runs.

    He allowed the pacers to settle in around him.

    I feel sadness because I wanted England to win and the series to be level.

    Jason Holder executed his plan perfectly in the penultimate over and I liked the captaincy from Rovman Powell to say 'kill the game for me here'.

    Rehan Ahmed clubs the final ball for four but England lose again.

    West Indies lead the five-match series 2-0.

    England need to win the three remaining games to take the series.

    Six!

    Rehan Ahmed slices over third and it carries all the way and over the ropes.

    After taking career-best figures in the first T20, Andre Russell now has worse T20 figures. He's gone for 62 off 3.5 overs.

    England need 21 from two balls.

    Swing and a miss.

    If Andre Russell avoids no-balls and wides then West Indies will win and go 2-0 up.

    22 from three needed.

    Moeen Ali turns down a single to deep cover.

    He needs a boundary every ball now.

    Six to start!

    Andre Russell goes in the slog again and Moeen Ali drives down the ground for six.

    England need 22 from five balls. Surely not?

    Is the plan to go to the T20 World Cup with this group and capitulate like we just did in India? Why not try some new blood, starting with the manager and captain? This is embarrassing.

    Rehan Ahmed turns down a single to end the over.

    England - and realistically Moeen Ali - need 28 from the final over.

    Another one caught in the deep.

    Chris Woakes takes on the short ball but clubs it straight to Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket.

    England's last six wickets have all been caught in the deep.

    Wide but full from Alzarri Joseph and Moeen drives over the covers for six.

    Superb strike.
