Just as in Sunday's narrow win over India, which presented them with this shoot-out against the Windies for a World Twenty20 semi-final berth, England struggled to find the boundary in the final 10 overs.

Once Kevin Pietersen departed in the eighth over, fours and sixes became a rarity in an innings disrupted late on by a heavy shower.

Owais Shah's wristy flick for six off Jerome Taylor at the start of the 11th over was the only boundary, in fact, until the final two deliveries of the innings.

Stuart Broad ensured that England registered a superior total to that of 24 hours earlier, by hauling the penultimate ball of the innings through the leg-side for four and then followed up by lofting a straight six off giant spinner Sulieman Benn.
