Final score: WI 196/6 (20 overs) defeats ENG 166 all out (19 overs).
Jason Holder opens the over, bowling full on off, and Sam Curran gets forward to loft it, taking a single to retain strike. On the next ball, Curran swipes a yorker-length delivery on middle and leg for another single to mid-on. Liam Dawson comes to the crease with a run off a full delivery on leg-stump. Curran then steps back outside the leg-stump and slams a full delivery over long-off for a massive six. Holder continues round the wicket, and Dawson takes a single to long-on. The over sees Jofra Archer run out after a yorker-length delivery hits his boot; Holder picks up the ball and hits the stumps in a precise throw. Curran finishes the over with a single, keeping strike.
In the 17th over, Shamar Joseph keeps England under pressure. Sam Curran and Jofra Archer rotate strike with singles, while Archer lifts a full delivery over short fine for four. Curran adds another single, ending the over with England struggling to find boundaries. West Indies spinners dominate.
ENG 150/7 after 17 overs.
Overton and Curran rotate strike early in the over, with a couple of nudges into the deep. Curran survives a scare as he miscues a big shot, the ball lands safely between two converging fielders.
But Hosein gets his reward on the final ball. Overton looks to go big, doesn’t time it well, and Powell judges it calmly at long-off to complete a safe catch. Another wicket falls.
West Indies continue to chip away, keeping England firmly under pressure in the closing stages.
141/7 after 16 overs.
West Indies lose a review earlier in the over as Curran clearly inside-edges the ball onto his pad. But Chase responds immediately.
He fires in a full, quick delivery at the stumps. Will Jacks misses his flick and is struck right in front. The umpire raises the finger straightaway. Jacks goes for the review, but ball-tracking shows three reds, crashing into middle stump. A clear LBW.
Jamie Overton gets off strike with a single, but England remain under pressure as the West Indies spinners continue to control proceedings.
The match is taking a thrilling turn. Brook begins with a single before Curran smashes a drag-down flat over deep mid-wicket for six. But Motie responds brilliantly. A slightly gripping length ball holds in the surface, Brook pushes too early, and the leading edge loops back to Motie, sharp return catch taken diving to his left.
Big wicket at a key time. Will Jacks walks in as Motie tightens his grip on the innings.
ENG 131/5 after 14 overs.
Brook starts with a quick single before Chase sprays a couple wide, including one that slips past the keeper for three extras. Brook slices two more through the off-side and adds another single despite a diving stop.
Curran then makes Chase pay, rocking back to pull a fraction short ball to deep mid-wicket for four. A slightly untidy over from Chase, and England keep the scoreboard moving.
England 123/4 after 13 overs.
Brook starts with a couple via a thick edge before driving for one. Curran nudges singles as Motie continues to vary pace and length. The big moment: Brook pulls a short one for four, but Rutherford injures his wrist diving in the deep and has to leave the field.
Curran finishes the over with a push to long-on and then a scrambled two off the inside edge. Productive over but Motie’s spell continues to keep West Indies ahead.
England 110/4 after 12 overs.
Curran starts the over brightly, driving a full ball on the rise through cover for four. But Joseph adjusts well, mixing seam-up pace and a slower off-cutter to dry up the runs. Brook manages a single off the inner half, and Curran adds one more, but three tight dots finish the over.
After the early boundary, West Indies pull things back nicely.
England 99/4 after 11 overs.
Bethell and Brook rotate early before Motie strikes again. The quick chinaman skids on, Bethell goes back to flick but is beaten for pace, off stump pegged back. Big wicket just as England looked to rebuild.
Curran comes in and the over ends with a few singles, but West Indies firmly on top as Motie turns the game.
England now need 104 runs in 60 balls.
Chase continues from round the wicket and applies the brakes. Bethell can’t find gaps early, managing just a single off a full ball on middle. Brook gets off strike with a tuck through mid-wicket, and Bethell adds another nudged single to mid-on. Mostly dots otherwise, tidy over as West Indies maintain control through the middle.
England 88/3 after 9 overs.
Bethell starts the over with a single before pouncing on a low full toss, smashing it straight back over long-on for six. But Motie hits back quickly. Banton, trying to drive a tossed-up delivery, doesn’t keep it down and King takes a sharp catch at cover. Another wicket falls cheaply.
England slipping a bit with 85/3 after 8 overs as West Indies tighten the screws.
Bethell and Buttler rotate early before Buttler makes it look easy, rocking back to pull Chase for a clean six over deep backward square. But Chase responds brilliantly. Coming round the wicket, he fires in a flat length ball. Buttler tries to pull again but mistimes it and picks out Powell in the deep. Big wicket just after the powerplay.
Banton gets off the mark with a single, Bethell adds one more. England 76/2 after 7 overs.
Joseph mixes his lengths but England keep finding runs. Bethell and Buttler rotate early before Buttler capitalizes on width with a sliced couple. The highlight comes off the last ball, overpitched outside off and Buttler creams it through covers for four.

ENG 67/1 after 6 overs.

England need 139 runs off 90 balls.
After a sharp short ball first up, Shepherd gets his reward. Salt charges again but is rushed by the bounce, mistimes the flat-bat hit and skies it to mid-off, Rutherford takes a simple catch. Big breakthrough as Salt falls for 30 off 14.
Bethell arrives and gets off the mark with a single, then finishes the over in style, short and wide, punched crisply through covers for four.
England 44/1 after 4 overs.
Hosein keeps it tight early, but Buttler breaks the shackles with a clever reverse sweep for four to deep backward point. He adds a single with a sweep, while Salt sneaks one off the inside edge. The rest are well-controlled dots from Hosein, mixing drift and pace. England ticking along nicely in the powerplay.
Holder starts the over and gets taken apart. Salt pulls a short ball for six, then carves one through backward point for four. A thick edge races away for another boundary before a yorker briefly halts him. Holder drops short again. Salt hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a second six of the over, and finishes by drilling one through covers for four.
ENG 31/0 after 2 overs.
Akeal Hosein opens the bowling and Phil Salt wastes no time, length ball outside off and he stands tall to loft it cleanly over mid-off for four. Hosein responds by darting it into the pads, Salt clips one away for a single, and Buttler gets off strike with a steer to short third. The rest of the over is tight and flat on middle and leg, with Salt unable to find another gap, a leg-bye rounds it off.
England 7/0 after 1 over.
Overton begins with Rutherford driving a single before Holder clears the front leg and launches a slot ball over long-on for six.

Romario Shepherd walks in and survives a scare first ball, dropped at deep backward point as they sneak a single. Rutherford then finishes in style, smashing the last ball over long-off for six. Windies close with momentum despite losing Holder late.
Archer goes full but West Indies cash in. Rutherford and Holder rotate early before Holder carves a low full toss through backward point for four to bring up 170. Another full toss goes for a single, and then Rutherford muscles a length ball over deep mid-wicket for six to raise a 50-run stand. Two more off a driven low full toss and a single to end. Windies firmly in control heading into the final over.
WI 182/5 after 19 overs.
Rashid returns under pressure and starts with Rutherford flicking a single. Holder then has two big swings and misses against the flight before stepping out to loft one towards long-on for a run. Then the moment. Rutherford goes for the slog-sweep, completely miscues it high towards mid-wicket. Rashid settles under it, and puts it down. A costly drop at this stage. Rutherford makes him pay immediately with a couple more runs and finishes the over with a drive through covers for one.
Overton bangs it in short first ball and Rutherford’s pull takes a top edge that flies over the keeper for four. Next ball, no mistake. Another short delivery and this time he rocks back and nails the pull over deep backward square for six, that brings up a superb half-century under pressure. He follows it with a single to long-on, Holder adds one with a pull of his own, and Overton finishes well, beating Rutherford with a slower short ball before having a straight drive pushed back at him. Important knock from Rutherford keeping West Indies afloat.
WI 142/5 after 16 overs.
Adil Rashid returns and strikes again. Rutherford begins with a single before Powell tries to take on the leg-spinner. Rashid tosses it up generously, tempts him into the big shot, and Powell holes out to long-off where Overton completes the catch. Big breakthrough. Jason Holder walks in and is immediately tested, beaten outside off, then finds backward point. He nudges a googly for one, while Rutherford pushes a single to end the over. Just three runs and a wicket.
West Indies 130/5 after 15 overs.
Dawson starts the over with width and Rutherford cashes in immediately, carving a late cut to the third-man fence for four. A wide down leg follows, then a quicker full ball skids past the bat. But when Dawson drops it in the slot, Rutherford stands and delivers, smashing it straight back over the bowler for six. Another wide outside off adds to the extras before Rutherford drives a single to long-off. Powell punches the final ball straight to cover. Windies continue to build with Rutherford dictating terms.
West Indies 127/4 after 14 overs.
Archer returns and it’s an expensive one. Rutherford starts by pushing a quick single, taking on the throw. Powell then cashes in, a full ball outside off with mid-off up, and he lofts it cleanly over the infield for four. Singles follow before the drama. Rutherford swings hard at a back-of-a-length delivery, gets a thick leading edge and Rashid at third man leaps for a one-handed stunner, but can’t hold on. It flies over for six. Archer ends the over with a full ball down leg and Powell clips it away for four.
17 from it. West Indies fighting back hard. West Indies 114/4 after 13 overs.
Will Jacks starts with Powell nudging one to long-off before Rutherford settles in. A sighter blocked, but then the momentum swings. Jacks overpitches and Rutherford clears the front leg, launching it straight down the ground for a 78-metre six. Next ball, dragged short, and he rocks back to pull it over deep mid-wicket for another maximum. Big statement. He can’t find the gap off the next delivery, but rotates strike before a leg-bye ends the over.
Fourteen runs come from it and West Indies move to 97/4, with Rutherford beginning to up the tempo.
Liam Dawson continues to operate with control, giving little away. Rutherford clips the first to deep mid-wicket for one before Powell gets into a rhythm of nudging singles to long-off. Dawson keeps firing it in on a flat trajectory, mixing the length and attacking the stumps. Just four singles from the over as Powell retains strike.
WI 83/4 after 11 overs
Adil Rashid continues to weave his magic. Chase gets a single first ball and Rutherford nudges one to square leg after a wide googly. But then the big moment. The wrong ’un does the trick, Chase doesn’t pick it, gets pinned on the back pad and it looks plumb in real time. West Indies review, but UltraEdge shows no bat and ball-tracking has it crashing into leg stump. OUT. Chase departs for 34 and Rashid brings up 400 T20 wickets, becoming only the second England bowler to reach the milestone.
Rovman Powell walks in and is immediately tested, one slides down leg, then a gorgeous leg-break beats his outside edge. He manages a couple with a cut to end the over, but Rashid is right on top.
Dawson operates from round the wicket and keeps it quick through the air. Rutherford pushes the first back before punching one square for a couple and adding a single to long-off. Chase then gets inventive, Dawson fires it in and Chase uses the pace, sitting inside the line to lap it fine for four. He rotates strike next ball with a single, and Rutherford finishes the over smartly, squeezing a near-yorker behind square for two.
West Indies 74/3 after 9 overs.
Overton continues to hit the deck hard. Chase clips the first to mid-wicket and then miscues a pull to mid-wicket for a single, there’s a direct-hit attempt at the non-striker’s end but he is comfortably home. Rutherford adds one to third man before Overton beats Chase’s timing with a fuller ball. The release comes off an off-pace delivery. Chase swings across, gets a thick inside edge and it races fine for four. Overton finishes with a tight length ball on off, defended.
West Indies 64/3 after 8 overs.
Adil Rashid concedes just three in the over and keeps West Indies pinned. Chase and Rutherford manage singles early, but it’s mostly watchful batting after that. A leading edge rolls back to Rashid, an under-edge nearly kisses off-stump, and a lovely googly beats Rutherford all ends up. Classic control from Rashid as the pressure builds again.
West Indies 58/3 after 7 overs.
Jamie Overton strikes a crucial blow just as West Indies threaten to break free. The over begins with Chase mistiming a loft that drops safely in front of mid-on. He nudges a single next ball before Hetmyer survives a dab and then swings across one that brushes the pad for two leg-byes. But Overton responds brilliantly, hard length, extra bounce, fingers rolled over. Hetmyer goes for the pull, gets a top-edge and it balloons towards short fine where Sam Curran settles under it. Hetmyer departs for 23 off 12.
Sherfane Rutherford walks in and is immediately tested, dabbing one that Brook dives to stop at slip.
Will Jacks comes on and West Indies go after him straightaway. Tossed up first ball, Chase drives back to the bowler, but then the assault begins. Flighted and drifting away, Chase makes room and lofts it inside out over wide mid-off for four. Next one, he switches it up and sweeps hard over backward square for another boundary. Jacks drops a dipping full toss and Chase backs away, just clearing mid-off for four more. He manages a single after that, but Hetmyer steals the show. Back round the wicket, right in the arc, Hetmyer kneels and slog-sweeps it high over deep square for six to cap a massive 19-run over.
WI 52/2 after 5 overs.
Curran begins the over with a tight back-of-a-length ball that Hetmyer defends, but the momentum quickly swings. The ultra slower ball is miscued in the air, safe, and they get two. Next one disappears! Hetmyer reads the slower ball, sits deep and slog-sweeps it miles over deep mid-wicket for six. Curran errs in line after that, strays down leg and Hetmyer neatly glances it away for four. A single each follows, Hetmyer squeezing one to short fine and Chase rushed on the pull, gloving it backward of square. Big over for West Indies.
Archer starts the over with a boundary, width on offer and it’s put away to ease some pressure. Hetmyer then misses the pick-up, struck on the thigh pad for a leg-bye. Archer goes very full next ball but Chase can’t squeeze it out. He makes up for it soon after, overpitched outside off and Chase leans in beautifully, driving through extra cover for four. Slip comes out as England adjust. Archer finishes with hard lengths around off, Chase hopping and defending watchfully. A better over for West Indies, but they are still rebuilding.
WI 19/2 after 3 overs.
Sam Curran makes an immediate impact, removing Brandon King first ball of the over as the lofted drive goes straight to sweeper cover, sharp field placement and sharp execution. Roston Chase walks in and gets off the mark with a thick inside edge for two. But it’s far from comfortable.
A length ball angles across and an under-edge drops just short of Buttler. Next delivery swings in and there’s a loud LBW appeal, but impact is outside leg, no review taken. Curran finishes the over tight.
West Indies 10/2 after 2 overs
West Indies in early trouble! Sam Curran strikes with his very first ball. It’s full and angled across, tempting Brandon King into the big shot. King goes aerial with the lofted drive, but picks out the man perfectly. Phil Salt is stationed at sweeper cover instead of the usual deep point, clever field setting, and he takes it safely. Two wickets down inside two overs and the pressure is mounting quickly.
WI 8/2 after 1.1 overs.
Jofra Archer is breathing fire in the first over at the Wankhede. Starts tight to Brandon King, mixes it up with sharp bounce, one flies away for five wides, another bouncer called wide, but he keeps probing. Then the breakthrough. Short and wide, Shai Hope goes for the cut, but the extra bounce does him in. Straight to cover-point and Tom Banton takes it safely. Huge wicket as Hope goes for a duck. Shimron Hetmyer walks in, Archer goes round the wicket and finishes with a 141.6kph peach. Early pressure on West Indies.
WI 8/1 after 1 over.
