19.3 - Dwayne Bravo to Stokes, FOUR, Morgan was in the firing line there. Stokes gives the charge to Bravo, spotted the slower delivery and drilled it past the non-striker, Morgan showed good agility to get out of the way

18.1 - A Russell to Stokes, FOUR, Charles almost pulled off another stunning save. Slower ball which is short in length, Stokes swivels and pulls to backward square, Charles dives to his left and gets a hand, but Stokes had packed enough power behind that

17.0 - Benn to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, poor delivery to end the over. A giveaway really. Full toss on off, Morgan stoops a bit low to get underneath that, tonks it over his partner, long-on dives in vain. Just the over England needed after Brathwaite's tidy over

12.2 - Dwayne Bravo to Root, FOUR, for once Russell has been beaten. That is something you don't associate with him. Full toss on middle and leg, Root drives along the ground towards long-on, Russell does the hard work of getting there, but doesn't bend down enough to stop the ball, through his legs for four

9.0 - Brathwaite to Hales, FOUR, bad delivery to end the over. It was looking like a good over, but that full toss just ruins it. On off-stump, Hales fetches it from there and whips it behind square, beating deep square leg comfortably

8.4 - Brathwaite to Root, FOUR, there was not a boundary scored for a while and Root knew that. Charges down and picks the slower delivery, hacks it over mid-wicket, giving long-on no chance

4.5 - A Russell to Root, FOUR, Russell is livid with himself. It is a poor follow-up delivery, strays this down leg, Root glances it fine and gets himself off the mark with a boundary

3.4 - Badree to Hales, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. Short and outside off, Hales had the width to free his arms, cracks the cut in front of square, pierces the packed off-side field

3.3 - Badree to Hales, FOUR, consecutive boundaries. Tossed up on the stumps, the length is full and Hales picked it early, kneels down and sweeps it over backward square, middled it and no need to run for those

3.2 - Badree to Hales, FOUR, freebie and Hales doesn't miss out. He was struggling to get his timing right and this might help him to get going. Full toss on middle and leg, Hales sinks down and tonks it over backward square, couple of bounces and into the fence

3.0 - Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, FOUR, top shot! The length was full alright, but the line was on leg-stump. Roy says thank you very much and helps himself to a boundary, clips it handsomely to the right of mid-on and the ball races away. Costly over, 18 off it and England starting to move on

2.1 - Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, FOUR, first boundary and out comes the DJ. Shorter and on off, sat up nicely for Roy, who transfered his weight onto the back foot and pulled it through mid-wicket, Brathwaite had no chance in the deep

19.5 - Dwayne Bravo to Moeen Ali, SIX, palmed over. Bravo is not happy with the effort. Holder is the culprit. Another off-speed delivery from Bravo, Ali hoicks it towards deep mid-wicket, Holder, the tallest man in the West Indies side, leaps and parries it over. Did all the right things apart from pouching it

19.1 - Dwayne Bravo to Eoin Morgan, SIX, nice way to start the final over. Looked like a mishit. But the bats these days, takes it over the ropes. Slower delivery from round the wicket, Morgan swings across the line, just about clears the long-on fence

18.3 - A Russell to Stokes, SIX, he has middled this. Length delivery in the swinging arc, Stokes gets his front leg out of the way for him to get a free swing of the arms, heaves it over cow corner for a maximum

17.3 - Dwayne Bravo to Buttler, SIX, smoked! Buttler picked the bones out of this slower ball. Bravo landed it on the swinging length, Buttler clears his front leg and mows it over deep mid-wicket

16.2 - Benn to Buttler, SIX, Buttler just launched into that. Benn drags it short, Buttler goes deep in the crease and pulls it over deep mid-wicket. Into the second tier once again. What has Benn got now?

14.5 - A Russell to Eoin Morgan, SIX, that's been dispatched. Into the second tier. Banged in halfway down the wicket, Morgan at no point in time looked to keep the pull down, hit it in the air and it went soaring over the long leg fence for a maximum

13.4 - Badree to Buttler, SIX, Buttler is dangerous at this stage of the innings. This should get him going. Jumps out of the crease, gets to the pitch of the leggie and smashes it way over the long-off fence. Stood there and admired the shot

10.1 - Jerome Taylor to Root, SIX, fantastic hit! Nice way to bring the 50-run stand. Length delivery on off, Root played the pick up shot beautifully, timed it to perfection as the ball sailed over the deep mid-wicket fence

6.5 - A Russell to Root, SIX, hammered! Banged in halfway down the wicket, Root was waiting for it on the back foot, stoops a bit low to get under it and smacks the pull over backward square. The pace of Russell took the ball way back into the crowd

20.0 - Dwayne Bravo to Moeen Ali, out Moeen Ali Run Out!! 1 run completed. Ali falls for the team's cause. Morgan was always coming back for the second. The throw was at the striker's end and Ali was not even in the frame. Full delivery on the stumps, flicked away to deep mid-wicket, Holder gets to the ball and releases it quickly, Ramdin does the rest. England finish with 182. Moeen Ali run out (Holder/Ramdin) 7(2) [6s-1]

19.4 - Dwayne Bravo to Stokes, out Lbw!! That is smart bowling from Bravo. He has his man and is delighted with that. Stokes was completely outdone by the slower delivery, it dipped on him and hit him on the back pad. He was attempting another heave to the leg-side. Didn't pick the off-cutter this time. Stokes lbw b Dwayne Bravo 15(7) [4s-2 6s-1]

17.5 - Dwayne Bravo to Buttler, out Caught by Brathwaite!! That's a gifted wicket. For a moment, I thought it was once again into the crowd. However, Buttler has picked out the fielder. A full toss at knee height, on leg-stump as well, all Buttler could do was heave it to deep backward square. Brathwaite didn't bother to move forward, stood his ground and took it inches from the ground. He should have taken it more easily. Buttler c Brathwaite b Dwayne Bravo 30(20) [6s-3]

14.2 - A Russell to Root, out Caught by Jerome Taylor!! Huge wicket this. And it is once again that man, Andre Russell who provides the breakthrough when his team needs it the most. It was a nothing shot really. Just short of good length and on middle, Root moves away to the leg-side, tries to go over mid-off, gets it almost off the bottom of the bat, spoons a simple catch to Taylor at mid-off. Root c Jerome Taylor b A Russell 48(36) [4s-3 6s-2]

11.1 - Benn to Hales, out Bowled!! Cleaned 'im up. Benn is pumped up. Roars after castling the batsman. "This is Sulieman Benn at his best," shouts an elated Darren Ganga. Hales's dodgy innings come to an end. He never looked in. It was the quicker delivery, right in the blockhole, Hales was making room to go inside out, is outfoxed by the length, is late to bring his bat down, the ball sneaks through and crashes into the base of off-stump. Hales b Benn 28(26) [4s-4]

4.3 - A Russell to Jason Roy, out Caught by Badree!! There's the first wicket. West Indies needed that as the partnership had started to look threatening. Roy is not happy with himself. Bangs his bat on the ground as he walks back to the dugout. Short of a length delivery on off, Roy for some reason does not go full throttle on the pull, plays a half-hearted shot towards mid-wicket, Badree moves forward and pouches a good low catch. Roy rolled his wrists to keep it down, but why do that in the powerplay? Jason Roy c Badree b A Russell 15(15) [4s-2]

13.1 - Badree to Root, 1 run, direct-hit and Root was gone. The slider on the stumps, Root ekes out an inside edge onto the pad, the ball trickles to the right of the bowler, there was a slight hesitation and that almost cost him. Badree moves across, picks the ball and shies at the bowler's end, missed and Root lives on

0.2 - Jerome Taylor to Jason Roy, 1 run, there you go. Fullish and hint of away movement, Roy allows the ball to do its bit and pushes it to mid-off, sets off for a risky single. Bravo charges forward and shies at the bowler's end, had he hit Roy would have been on his way back, he missed and Roy survives

17.2 - Stokes to A Russell, no ball, FOUR, high full toss outside off, and it's been slashed with all the sympathy of an executioner. Flays it over point. Free-hit coming up

15.2 - Willey to Gayle, FOUR, what do you do? Willey goes full outside off, misses the yorker by a bit and is blazed through extra-cover. Reached the fence before you could blink

13.2 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, leg byes, FOUR, that's the problem with all the extra-pace. If you stray in direction ever so slightly, the batsman can cash in. Although Gayle fails to connect, runs away fine off the pad

13.0 - Topley to A Russell, FOUR, back of the hand slower ball very wide of off, Russell is down on one knee and stretching out to reach. Once he does, his hands take over and hoist it over extra-cover

12.3 - Topley to Gayle, FOUR, that's a poor ball. You can be enamoured by Gayle all you like, but that's a rank bad ball. Short of length ball going down leg, Gayle runs it away fine with a glance for an easy four

10.1 - Stokes to Ramdin, FOUR, on the hips and that's right up his alley. Ramdin simply helps it on its way with a tickle to the fine leg fence

7.1 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, FOUR, drags it down on the stumps from round the wicket, Gayle jumps back and mistimes the pull in the air. But it splits deep mid-wicket and deep square to perfection

6.0 - Jordan to Gayle, FOUR, Jordan dishes a full length, sees Gayle clear his front leg and then sees himself being carved over mid-off. The good thing about this ball was .. well .. it signalled the end of the Powerplays

5.1 - Jordan to Samuels, FOUR, tries to follow Samuels with a short of length delivery as he backs away, but he flat-bats the pull and thumps it straight of a diving mid-on. Problems for England. Massive problems. Gayle hasn't even done any damage yet

4.4 - Stokes to Samuels, FOUR, half-volley drilled to long-off, Jordan moves to his left, slips slightly with all the dew around and allows the ball to sneak through his hands. Just look at the replay. Soon as his hands hit the turf, water splashed in huge quantities. Nevertheless, feeds more reason to Stokes for tearing his hair down

4.3 - Stokes to Samuels, FOUR, full toss has been whacked past a diving mid-off. All that movement by Samuels is really putting Stokes off. Out come the rags to soak all the due

4.2 - Stokes to Samuels, FOUR, runs away off the outside edge and Stokes is ticking. Length ball around off, Samuels eyes the inside-out loft but his trigger movement took him nearly out of reach. Nearly

3.4 - Jordan to Samuels, FOUR, this is the danger though of bowling it short. You err in line and the ball will fly. Samuels actually created his own room by moving to leg, lashed hard and flayed it over backward point

2.5 - Willey to Samuels, FOUR, leans into a delivery leaving him outside off, there's no profound movement with the feet. Just the body weight going across and drives it through the covers

2.4 - Willey to Samuels, FOUR, there's been too much of variation in line from Willey. Now drifts one towards the pads. Although Samuels is late to get the bat across, he somehow ekes out an inside edge and it races away

1.3 - Topley to Gayle, FOUR, smokes this over mid-off. Pitch right up just outside off, and it's so full that there is no scope of late movement. Gayle's bat comes down hard and he mauls it over the infield

0.5 - Willey to Samuels, FOUR, drops a half-volley on the pads now, and is put away. Samuels manages a lot of bat this time and flicks it past short fine leg

15.5 - Willey to Gayle, SIX, the serial killing continues. If this wasn't cricket, the England government would have taken offence and declared war. Short of length delivery which climbs up as much as tummy height, Gayle transfers his weight on the back foot and mauls the pull over deep mid-wicket. A hit away from a ton

15.3 - Willey to Gayle, SIX, swats the full toss off the inside half of the bat, and it still goes all the way. Second baby six of the night over a leaping deep mid-wicket. England are crying

14.0 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, SIX, three in a row! Come on Gayle, have some mercy. They have families for god's sake. Converts it into a full toss after dancing down and launches a missile over long-on

13.5 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, SIX, even bigger, even mightier. Oh England. Just throw in the towel. Excellent use of the feet from the big man, and he has made a meaty swipe over long-on

13.4 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, SIX, springs out of the crease, wields the sword and swings it over long-on. England have been stabbed and this is a bloodbath

12.0 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, SIX, and there he goes! Down the track in a flash. Well, flash is relative with Gayle. He can only do so much. But he meets the pitch of the ball and blazes it straight back over Ali's head

11.0 - Stokes to Gayle, SIX, and takes just one ball to break free of the tie. Gayle is now the leading six-hitter in T20Is on his own. Short of length once more, doesn't time the pull like fire, it's a baby six over a leaping deep mid-wicket fielder

10.5 - Stokes to Gayle, SIX, that's a dagger through Stokes's heart and out the back. Bowls it short but doesn't get enough height on it, sits up to be pulled away and Gayle has blasted it over square leg. That's into the second tier. Ties with McCullum for most T20I sixes

8.5 - Adil Rashid to Gayle, SIX, wow. Need I say anything more. Yes, say my colleagues. Boooo. Tossed up on middle, Gayle launches it with a mighty big swing of the willow over long-on again

8.4 - Adil Rashid to Gayle, SIX, that ball will be found in some local train in the nearby Churchgate station. Gayle has laid waste to it. Sees the flight, winds up big time and kills it over long-on. Oh sorry, fielding positions don't matter when the ball is out of the stadium

1.4 - Topley to Gayle, SIX, this must have plunged Topley into hyperventilation. Really, just the sight of it. Running in hard, pitching it up, and then being bombed over long-off with a brutal swing. What's his answer?

12.2 - Topley to Dwayne Bravo, out Caught by Hales!! That's like a Malinga full toss and it's done for Bravo. Slower ball which initially shapes to be a beamer, then dips profusely to fool Bravo. He is through with the slog too early and skies it off the toe-end towards deep mid-wicket who only has to move a few paces forward to pouch. Dwayne Bravo c Hales b Topley 2(4)

11.1 - Moeen Ali to Ramdin, out Caught by Adil Rashid!! Ramdin goes but it's really the man at the other end England need. Extra bounce off the Wankheded deck consumes the wicket-keeper batsman as he goes down on one knee to sweep. Fails to get over the bounce and can only spoon it off a thick top edge to short fine leg. Ramdin c Adil Rashid b Moeen Ali 12(14) [4s-1]

6.4 - Adil Rashid to Samuels, out Caught by Willey!! England have an opening. Morgan went to Rashid and the leggie doesn't disappoint. I think he did him with a googly. Or maybe it was just the flipper which skidded on. Slips it in shorter and quicker seeing Samuels come down, Samuels goes through with the attempted loft and drags it off the inside half to long-on. Samuels c Willey b Adil Rashid 37(27) [4s-8]

0.2 - Willey to Charles, out Caught by Moeen Ali!! Clears the front leg, swats the length ball and .. gone. Straight to Ali at mid-wicket who takes a good low catch plunging forward. Charles loses his mind on seeing the ball land on a good length, attempts a big heave and drags it off the inside half. Early trouble for West Indies. Charles c Moeen Ali b Willey 0(2)

17.1 - Stokes to Gayle, 1 run, there it is. Takes off the helmet, goes down on the knees and holds his arms aloft. Hundred off just 47 balls. It's the fastest in T20 WCs. There is a pre-planned celebration from all players in the dugout and Gayle follows suit punching both hands forward and reeling them back. More like a yoga exercise. Full ball on middle, he opens the bat-face and slices it in front of short third man

11.4 - Moeen Ali to Gayle, 1 run, nudges a single to long-on and raises a half-century to send the crowd into raptures. The way he languidly celebrated, he's not done yet. Ominous for England
