Saqib Mahmood, heart pumping and blood racing, goes in search of the inswinger to end the over and gets it wrong. Nicholas Pooran manages to flick it down to fine leg for four.This is the third time in Saqib Mahmood's T20 career that he's taken three wickets in the powerplay - and the first time he's done it for his country.Evin Lewis has just whipped the ball off his pads to Jacob Bethell at deep square leg. It's not the prettiest dismissal but Mahmood does not care.
That makes England's decision to chase look a little curious but Jos Buttler reckons there's moisture in this surface after rain overnight. That should assist the new ball.There's a strong bat first bias here in Barbados. In the 15 T20Is played at Kensington Oval since the start of 2022, only five have been won by the chasing side.Andre 'Dre Russ' Russell returns, as does batter Nicholas Pooran and captain Rovman Powell.
