They have leaked runs but at the same time, they have managed to pick wickets. Tom Banton has stuck around for some time but he will need support from the other end.

Pitch report - Mark Butcher is near the pitch. He says the conditions are quite muggy. He adds that there is a nasty-looking black cloud hovering over. The pitch was covered and looks very dry, this looks like a Saturday pitch where England were bowled out for 103 and not like the run-fest we witnessed in the second match.

Update - The toss will take place at 1.30 am IST and the match will begin at 1.50 am IST. Stay tuned...

Tells that every day they practice and help each other out in the team.

Promising signs. The covers are no longer in place and the players have resumed their warm-ups. Meanwhile, a couple of interviews coming your way...

TOSS DELAYED! In yet another update from the ground, the toss has been delayed as it rained a little while ago. It appeared to be a passing shower but the covers are in place. Let's hope we get underway sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more updates.

There are pictures floating around on social media informing that England have included three new faces in their Playing XI. Philip Salt, George Garton and Harry Brook are all set to make their T20I debuts.

West Indies have been an unpredictable side so far in the series and by nature also. They won the first game very comfortably and put on a great fight in the second game. Akeal Hosein and Romario Shepherd went berserk in the end and almost took West Indies over the line. They put on a great show but could not come out on top. However, this sure proves that the hosts have power-hitters till the very end. West Indies do have a balanced side, but the middle order will have to step up on this occasion. Who will take the lead in this exciting series? We shall find out. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.

After a disappointing defeat in the first match, the visitors did come back and win the second game. Although they did put up a good performance, they won the game by just a solitary run. Moeen Ali was their star performer, he put up an all-round show and helped England win. Coming into this game, they will be hoping to carry their winning momentum forward and improve in all aspects of their game.

Hello and a warm welcome to the third T20I between West Indies and England. We have already witnessed some thrilling contests between these two power-packed sides and we are in for yet another mouth-watering match. The series is firmly poised at 1-1 and both teams will be eager to come out on top and take the lead from here.

... MATCH DAY ...
