Make that 38 off 15 balls.
Width from Alzarri Joseph and Moeen Ali crashes the drive away.
Don't bowl there to Moeen.

Curran c Hosein b Joseph 50 (Eng 134-6)
Is this the game?
Alzarri Joseph has been really effective banging the ball into the pitch tonight.
He does so again and Sam Curran is unable to get under it properly.
The left-hander ends up slicing it to deep point, where Akeal Hosein settles under it and is unperturbed by the setting sun.

A good comeback from Andre Russell.
Just three singles from the final four balls.
England take 13 from the over. Slightly below the required run-rate.

Eng 134-5
A maiden T20 international half-centry off 31 balls for Sam Curran.
A strike-rate of 161.3.
Can he be the match-winner?

Four more!
Andre Russell strays onto the pads and Sam Curran tickles fine.
Great start to the over for England.

Six to start.
Andre Russell goes slot and Sam Curran just chips him over long-on.
Curran is up to 44 off 28 balls.

The pressure almost tells on Sam Curran.
He slices a big heave down towards third but it clears the man at short third and deep point isn't able to get round in time.
A let-off really.
14 an over required from the last four...

Two dot balls follow.
Moeen Ali walks down for a little chat with Sam Curran.
There's a little fist pump too.

Sam Curran is on the charge.
He smacks four past wide long-on, before drilling straight back over the head of Alzarri Joseph for six.
Lovely striking.

Somehow English batters have forgotten how to play a long and match-winning innings and often look out of form.

Moeen Ali is the new batter.
It is perhaps a bit surprising we didn't see him earlier considering he averages 79 and strikes at 151.92 against left-arm spin in the middle overs.
England let Gudakesh Motie's overs drift by, only taking nine runs from his 24 balls.
WICKETpublished at 14.3 overs
Brook c Joseph b Hosein 5 (Eng 108-5)
Another one goes.
Harry Brook looks to go into-out over the covers but, like many of his team-mates in this innings, doesn't get enough on it.
Alzarri Joseph is able to get round and take a pretty simple catch.
Dropping Brook to six doesn't work out for England.

Jason Holder concedes five singles and a wide from his latest over.
West Indies will definitely take that at this stage.
The required run-rate is up to 12 an over again. England need some boundaries.

Hoping Curran will prove me wrong, but when will people realise he's not a good player? Too expensive with the ball. I'm a defensive batter and I think I could hit him all over the park.

Gudakesh Motie finishes with figures of 1-9 from his four overs.
That wicket of Liam Livingstone was his first in T20 internationals.
Captain Rovman Powell said he was only in the side because of injuries at the toss.

Harry Brook is in at six.

Livingstone c Powell b Motie 17 (Eng 97-4)
Ah.
Liam Livingstone takes a step down the pitch, looking to dispatch the left-arm spin of Gudakesh Motie back down the ground for six.
He miscues though and Windies captain Rovman Powell is able to come in from long-off to take the catch.
Livingstone's nine-ball cameo was entertaining, but short lived.
Eng 97-3published at 12 overs
Need 80 from 48 balls
Six more!
Andre Russell offers more length and Sam Curran dispatches him over wide long-on this time.
England take 22 from the over and all of a sudden they need 80 from 48 balls. Required run-rate back down to 10 an over.
