  1. Eng 254-3published at 19.1 overs

    Liam Livingstone whacks the first ball of Jason Holder's over for four.

    This is now England's highest total of all-time in T20 cricket - overtaking England women's previous record of 250.

  2. Eng 250-3published at 19 overs

    There's no respite for West Indies' bowlers. Here's Harry Brook, who hit 31 from seven balls in England's win on Saturday.

    But their misery is almost over as Andre Russell expertly closes out the 19th - although then they've got to come out and try and chase a score of 250 plus.

    Salt b Russell 119 (Eng 246-3)

    A stunning innings comes to an end.

    Full and straight does the trick for Andre Russell as Phil Salt is bowled round his legs.

    He departs for 119 from 57 balls. 10 sixes, seven fours.

  4. Eng 243-2published at 18.1 overs

    England go to their highest-ever total in men's T20 cricket thanks to five wides from Andre Russell.

    There are still two overs to go.

    Kev Mcveigh: Remind me again why Phil Salt wasn't in the World Cup squad for India?

  6. Eng 238-2published at 18 overs

    A good comeback from Forde. He nails three yorkers for just one run but that over has still conceded 20.

    He's got figures of 0-54 from three overs. Savage.

    Make it three!

    This is just brutal.

    Matthew Forde has had a debut to forget.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 231-2published at 17.2 overs

    He goes again!

  9. 6 runs

    Eng 225-2published at 17.1 overs

    Having started his T20 international debut with two overs for 34, Matthew Forde's woes continue.

    He starts with a wide and Livingstone clubs the next for six, with absolutely no timing as well.

  10. How's stat?!published at 21:16 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2023

    That six means Phil Salt now has the highest score by an England men's batter in T20 internationals, eclipsing the 116 not out Alex Hales hit against Sri Lanka at Chittagong in Bangladesh in March 2014.

  11. 6 runs

    Eng 218-2published at 17 overs

    Too short, six.

    Phil Salt has not missed anything today. It's been absolutely ruthless.

  12. Eng 208-2published at 16.1 overs

    Full toss, four.

    England's highest-ever T20 total is 241, which they scored against New Zealand in 2019.

    That is certainly on the cards.

    England's recipe for success in white ball cricket definitely requires a liberal serving of Salt I'd say.

    Where on earth do you bowl?

    Jason Holder bowls his slower ball perfectly out the back of his hand but Phil Salt just clubs it down the ground for the most effortless six.

    Spare a thought for whoever Rovman Powell turns to next. There's still four more overs left of this.

  15. 6 runs

    Eng 194-2published at 15.3 overs

    There's not much time to digest Phil Salt's achievement, because Liam Livingstone starts Jason Holder's next over with a four and a six.

  16. How's stat?!published at 21:07 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2023

    Phil Salt has become the first England men's player to score two T20 international centuries having made a hundred in the previous match against the West Indies.

    Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone all have one T20 century for England to their names.

    It is the joint-second fastest T20 century for an England men's batter, with Dawid Malan, while his current batting partner Liam Livingstone has the fastest from 43 balls.

    And he ends the over with a casual single. Let's bring you some stats from Phil Salt's incredible achievement.

    Back-to-back T20 centuries for Phil Salt!

    It's taken him just 48 balls and has included eight sixes and six fours.

    It has been carnage from the very beginning.

    Four more!

    On to 98...
