5.17pm: Right, now for a lie down after all that. Next stop is Trinidad and Tobago for the conclusion of this series. Join us on Tuesday for the 4th T20I.

5.15pm: Jos Buttler, speaking after just England's second victory of this tour, is full of praise for Salt: "He's got such great intent from ball one. That's something we've asked him to do and he;s always played that way. But for him to go on and bat through, it's something we've spoken about as a team. Harry Brook as well, to come in and finish the game off as he did, was a great effort.

"It's great to keep the series alive and get a win, you know? Winning games of cricket is what we're here for."

5.10pm "It's massive," says Phil Salt - player of the match of course - about his maiden T20 century after a succession of starts. "There's a way to do it. You can't get 40 off 20 and then take 10 off 10 balls, it changes the complexion of the game."

5.07pm: Sonny: "Suddenly feeling a lot better about the T20 WC defence. The best Jos has looked since the semi final down under and some unbelievable hitting from Salt, Livi and Brook. Incredible game of cricket!"

Martin: "So often I find myself watching Harry Brook and all I can think is 'wow, I wish I could bat'."

5.04pm: Harry Brook's match-finishing six was the 34th in the match, the second-most number of sixes in a T20I match.

5.01pm: Neil: "Blown away and fully repentant of my earlier unbelief". You're not the only one, Neil! That''s the second most runs successfully chased in the 20th over of a T20I. The full list:

21 - AUS vs IND, 2023 Guwahati 21 - ENG vs WI, 2023 St George's 19 - WI vs ENG, 2016 Kolkata 19 - SL vs AUS, 2022 Pallekele

Russell to Brook, SIX, And Harry Brook has won it! Brook opens the face to lift a wide delivery over third to take England to a stunning victory by seven wickets! What a win, and what a way to keep the T20I series alive. Salt strolls off to a host of well-wishes from the West Indies players after his remarkable 109 not out held the chase together. Remarkable game of cricket

Russell to Brook, 2 runs, Short, straight, Brook pulls out to midwicket and calls two early. Salt obliges and they make it comfortably

5 needed off 3... Pazza: "Is a draw a super over?" Yep, though not sure Brook is concerned about that. We're getting a new ball as well because Brook has lost the last one

Russell to Brook, SIX, Another one! Russell tries to follow Brook to the leg side but ends up serving up a rank full toss that is just helped over fine leg!

Russell to Brook, SIX, HARRY BROOK! Sharp, full, outside off and punished right over extra cover! That might be the shot of the day, and what a time to play it!

Russell to Brook, FOUR, Full, into leg stump, flicked around the corner for four!

Right, here we go. It all comes down to this. Russell v Brook...

Joseph to Brook, 1 run, Low full toss, but pace on means Brook can't pick it up early enough to take advantage, chipping out to wide long off
