Jos Buttler departs!
Shai Hope's decision to give Sherfane Rutherford works as Buttler goes after a wide delivery from the bowler and ends up in the safe hands of Shimron Hetmyer at cover.
That brings England captain Harry Brook to the crease.
And a wide from new baller Sherfane Rutherford takes England to the 150-mark!

Former England batter on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
England are set for 260-270. Where they are, anything is possible now.
It was looking like a decent over from Akeal Hosein, with only seven runs coming from the first five balls.
But Jos Buttler then decides to lift the left-arm spinner over the mid-wicket and all the way for a maximum.

Duckett hits rapid half-century as England get off to flying start
After 10 overs, exactly 100 in boundaries! (8x6/13x4)
Richard in Norway
No is the answer, for now.
Ben Duckett goes after him and moves on to 67, from 32 balls, with a boundary through leg side.
Akeal Hosein is back with his left-arm spin after the drinks break.
Can he put the reins on the England innings?

If England keep scoring at this rate they are going to threaten their record T20 international total - 267-3 against West Indies at the Brian Lara Stadium in December 2023.
There's been no let up from England at all.
They've had six double-figure overs already.

Buttler hits twisting scoop shot over third man for four
Jos Buttler then tries to paddle Alzarri Joseph. He is not in control but he wouldn't care as it races away to the boundary.
We are halfway through this innings and it's looking ominous for West Indies.
The players will take the drinks now.
Carlos Brathwaite
Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
That was on Buttler's . He's dictating the pace of play. And when he is, you can't stop him.
Alzarri Joseph has his thumb strapped but is back into the attack for West Indies.
Four singles in a row to begin the over as the Windies look to pile some pressure back on England, on the back of that wicket.
But Jos Buttler then pulls one and sends it deep into the stand for his first six, from the fourth ball he has faced.
Jos Buttler is the new batter in.
And he opens his straight away with a single to long on.
Carlos Brathwaite
Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Image source, BBC Sport/CricVizHe'll be disappointed because that's his shot. That rock back and smash it. But if this was probation for opening he's got the role.
Smith c Hetmeyer b Motie 60 (Eng 120-1)
Hetmyer takes catch at mid-wicket boundary to end Smith's 'terrifically entertaining knock'
West Indies finally have a breakthrough.
Jamie Smith departs for 60 and Shimron Hetmyer will breathe a sigh of relief as he holds onto a catch near the boundary rope this time.
Carlos Brathwaite
Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
There's no excuse at this level to be dropping that.
Eng 113 -0
An expensive drop for West Indies?
Jamie Smith continues to go after Romario Shepherd and hits another six before miscuing one to cover where Shimron Hetmyer lets it slip through his hands!
Carlos Brathwaite
Former West Indies all-rounder on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The West Indies would have been saying force the batters to hit square and so have brought their length back, but the pitch is so good it's sitting up.
Eng 105 -0
'Goodness me!' - Smith makes half-century with thumping six over long on
That's Jamie Smith's first half-century in T20I cricket.
And no better way to bring it than by hitting his fourth six of the fledgling innings.
England are motoring here!

They're an unstoppable six hitting machine so far these two.
