We&#39;re playing well and everyone&#39;s playing with confidence. They might not have got runs today but another day it will be another guy.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England captain Jos Buttler, meanwhile, was left to rue the explosive latter part of the West Indies innings after a positive start by the tourists bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It was a few many runs more than we could have restricted them to,&quot; Buttler said. &quot;They had a couple of big overs at the back end which pushed the score up, but only losing by 10 -- there&#39;s plenty of ways we can find those 10 runs.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, King&#39;s unbeaten knock received support from Powell, who caught the eye with a swashbuckling cameo that helped West Indies post a competitive total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The West Indies captain&#39;s half century came off just 28 balls and included five sixes and three fours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The highlight of Powell&#39;s knock came in the 16th over, with Powell mauling Curran for 30 runs which included four sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Adil Rashid was the pick of the England bowlers with figures of 2-11 off four overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies lead the five-match series 1-0 after beating England by four wickets in the opening T20 in Barbados on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The third match of the series takes place in Grenada on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>West Indies: 176-7 in 20 overs (B.
