    One more wicket and England are toast. But they weren’t ever gonna trouble this tournament!

    Gudakesh Motie has traditionally struggled against left-handers, averaging 39 in the past two years - the addition of this wrist-spin delivery to his armoury may help to bring this average down in coming months.

  3. Eng 108-4

    Target 197

    Sam Curran and Harry Brook farm the strike in the remainder of Gudakesh Motie's over. West Indies keep their spinners going.

  4. Prakash Wakankar
    BBC Test Match Special commentator

    England captain Harry Brook might be thinking let's just watch out during the four or so overs left of the West Indies spinners and then go for it.

  5. Eng 107-4

    Harry Brook with an edge against one which spins from Gudakesh Motie as he attempts to work it to leg, and he gets away with it as the ball runs away for a couple.

    Later in the over, Brook swivels on his heels and muscles left-arm spinner Motie for four through mid-wicket.

    Sherfane Rutherford injures his wrist attempting to stop it on the boundary and leaves the field to receive some treatment.

  6. Eng 99-4

    Decent comeback from Shamar Joseph, who finishes with a couple of dots to Sam Curran. Harry Brook yet to get his innings up and running.

    He is on strike.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Shots like that one from Sam Curran make you feel this is still a very good wicket to bat on. When the seamers come on, it's very hard to stop the flow of runs here.

  8. Eng 97-4

    Crunchhhheddd by Sam Curran! The all-rounder throws his hands at the ball and smears Shamar Joseph through the covers for four.

  9. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    I'd still probably go for an England win but the next few overs are going to be crucial.

  10. Eng 93-4

    Three England batters have got starts...but none of them have gone on.

    Can Harry Brook or Sam Curran buck that trend?

    I think West Indies getting that fourth wicket has now swung this game in their favour.

    WICKET

    Bethell b Motie 33 (Eng 90-4)

    Gudakesh Motie bowls Jacob Bethell! A huge moment.

    The left-arm spinner fizzes through a wristy delivery which skids through and deflects off Bethell's pad and on to the stumps.

    Was Bethell caught by surprise?

    Tom Banton of England looks dejected as he leaves the field after being caught out by Brandon KingGetty Images

    Loud chants of "West In-dies! West In-dies!" at the Wankhede. The locals have made their minds up over who they're supporting.

  14. Eng 88-3

    England captain Harry Brook joins Jacob Bethell.

    Just over a hundred required. It's on these two to get England close, you would think.

    Brook starts with a nudge off Roston Chase into the leg side for a single.

  15. Carlos Brathwaite
    Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Test Match Special

    It's a very soft dismissal. It's a nice catch from Brandon King because a lot can go wrong at that height.

    WICKET

    Banton c King b Motie 2 (Eng 85-3)

    Gudakesh Motie of West Indies celebrates after Brandon King of West Indies (not pictured) catches out Tom Banton of EnglandGetty Images

    Poor Tom Banton.

    He looked to have finally sealed his spot in England's side but two failures in his opening two World Cup games and his place is under pressure.

    Banton departs after driving Gudakesh Motie into the hands of Brandon King at cover. Fuller from Motie.

    Eng 84-2

    A full toss from Gudakesh Motie and with a big swing of Jacob Bethell's bat it sails over the boundary for six.

    Jos Buttler of England looks dejected as he leaves the field after being caught out by Rovman PowellGetty Images

    Jos Buttler falls yet against to an off-spinner. Since the start of 2024, he has struggled against his ‘match-up’. He averages just over 20 against off-spin, his lowest average against all bowler types.

    What is it about giving away your wicket away after hitting a six? Very disappointing!!

    Rob, Bristol

  20. Eng 76-2

    The latest of England's four batting Bs - Tom Banton - strolls out to the middle. He's off the mark with a single.
