5.30pm: The West Indies reboot starts here. And for England, another boot up the rear... it's almost like the Ashes never finished. A good toss to win, perhaps, but Kieron Pollard will be delighted with the efforts of his attack. England were reduced to 24 for 4 in the powerplay, and then slipped to 49 for 7 before Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid slapped on a sheen of respectability with some long-handle treatment. You suspect Eoin Morgan will have something to say about the pitch, but Jason Holder, for one, won't be complaining. Can England's bowlers make a game of it? We'll find out shortly

Holder to Rashid, OUT, bowled 'im! Leg stump out of the ground... Rashid's career-best jolly comes to an end, shuffling across and missing with an attempted ramp. Holder finishes with sensational figures of 4 (FOUR) for 7 (SEVEN) and England have been rumbled with two balls to spare

AU Rashid b Holder 22 (34m 18b 3x4 0x6) SR: 122.22

Holder to Mahmood, OUT, swung high into the leg side... taken! Holder gets a third as Mahmood attempts in vain to clear the ropes, only to send a steepler out to the man at deep midwicket

S Mahmood c Allen b Holder 5 (11m 11b 0x4 0x6) SR: 45.45

"I am sure this is Adil Rashid highest T20 score, any confirmation please!!!!!" Remarkably, it's the first time he's reached double-figures in a T20I, avikrams. Though not his highest T20 score overall

Holder to Rashid, 1 run, short and into the pitch, looked like a legcutter, swung away towards deep backward square

Jason Holder to close things out. He was superb in the powerplay

Allen to Mahmood, no run, punched back, Allen scoops it up in his follow through and then has a chance to run out Rashid, who was also backing up a fair way. Don't think he could quite get the ball out of his hands

Allen to Rashid, 1 run, tossed up and worked into a gap, boozy cheers for the England 100! Didn't look like they'd get there at one stage

Allen to Rashid, FOUR, dropped! Although again only technically, as Holder does terrifically to get a hand on a slap wide of long-on... Full-length dive, just grazed the fingertips before bouncing over the rope

Pollard to Rashid, 1 run, shortish on the hip and tickled around the corner to keep the strike

Ah, now then... Pollard pulls up short in his delivery stride and warns Mahmood for leaving his ground at the non-striker's end. Could have run him out by yards. Settles for teaching the youngster a lesson

Pollard to Rashid, FOUR, cheeky from Rashy, deflected wide of the keeper - waits on it, waits on it and opens the face on a cutter to get four

Allen to Rashid, 1 run, tossed up and prodded for a single

Saqib Mahmood walks out at No. 10. Not in the team for his batting. Rashid on strike as they crossed

Allen to Jordan, OUT, bottom-handed smack but picks out long-off! Tossed up and Jordan looks to clear the pickets but can't get enough elevation. Slugged hard and flat but lands safely in the paws of Cottrell running in
