OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Sam Curran gets the big man! Andre Russell departs and West Indies are starting to feel the pressure now! Sam Curran misses his mark and delivers a juicy low full-toss, on off, Andre Russell sits deep in his crease and tries to muscle this one down the ground. He loses his shape and does not get the connection. Skies it high in the air but only as far as Liam Livingstone at long on who does the rest.

Sam Curran to Jason Holder
A direct hit and it would have been curtains for Jason Holder! Fuller delivery, on off, Jason Holder stays deep in his crease and bunts it towards extra cover. The batters set off for the single and Moeen Ali picks it up cleanly and has a shy at the non-striker's end. Holder is nowhere in the frame and Sam Curran backs up but uses only one hand to collect the throw and fails to gather it cleanly. West Indies need 9 runs off the final over!
