166/10(19 Overs)

West Indies finish with a flourish - A power-packed batting display from West Indies, exactly what they are known for in this format. There were a few tricky phases, but they muscled their way through them and finished strongly, smashing 29 runs off the last two overs. England's death bowling has come back to haunt them again, and it will be a stiff target to chase with no signs of dew as yet.
