115-7 - Jordan 1 Willey 3That could be that as England's main hope Root is caught behind and the Windies wildly celebrate again. The batman doesn't look happy as something may have been said as he departed, but it's surely down to England's bowlers now. Five more overs...

117-7 - Willey 4 Jordan 1Another over brings just two runs between Willey and Jordan, who have a few words in the break - they know they have to do something unexpected in the next four overs.

131-7 - Willey 17 Jordan 2A couple of big hit from Willey see two more sixes with three overs left to face - a few more of those would be most welcome from England, but the West Indies fielders will be ready to pounce...
