West Indies vs England, ENG in WI, 5T20Is, 2024 Full score card

SIX! RUTHERFORD FINISHES OFF WITH SOME MUSCLE POWER AND WEST INDIES HAVE DONE THE MOST UNTHINKABLE! A juicy full toss from Dan Mousley, on the body, Sherfane Rutherford stays inside the crease, waits for the ball to arrive and smokes it out of the park behind deep mid-wicket for a monstrous six. A sensational win for the hosts as they chase 219 down with 6 balls remaining.

SIX! That makes things a lot easier for the hosts now! Mousley misses delivering the yorker by some margin and bowls it full on the stumps. Drops it right in the arc of the left-hander, Sherfane Rutherford gets under it and launches it over long on for a huge six.

Flat full toss on the stumps. Chase clears his front leg and swipes it across off the inner half of the bat to deep backward square leg. A single taken.

A full toss outside off, quicker at 111.9 KPH. Rutherford flat-bats it off the bottom of the bat. It goes over the head of the bowler but Jamie Overton in the deep scoots and dives across to his left from long off and saves a certain boundary. A casual running there as that could have been easily a couple of runs.

Halt! The dew is really starting to set in and that ball has picked up a lot of it as well. The umpires decide to change the ball.

Too flat and full and outside off, Roston Chase stands deep in the crease, clears his front leg and drills it to long off for a single. 12 needed off the last 10 balls remaining.

Dan Mousley fires it in, full and on the middle and leg, Roston Chase swings hard and it goes off the inside edge of the bat and runs to the deep fine region. The batters scamper for the second quickly. Good running!

Dan Mousley to bowl the crucial penultimate over of the chase.

On a nagging length, outside off. Chase punches it to the left of the bowler for a single. Good effort from Buttler there as he saved a few more runs with that sharp dive.

This is good running! Sam Curran switches to around the stumps, delivers a length ball on the off stump. Chase flicks off the inner half of the bat to the left of deep backward square leg for a couple of runs.

Back of a length, and around off. Rutherford steers it to backward point for a single.

Full on the stumps. Chase flicks it aerially towards long on for a single. 200 up for West Indies.

IN THE AIR...LANDS SAFE! Sam Curran hits the deck hard, outside off. It skids through and comes off very quickly at the batter. Rutherford is a bit late to execute the pull shot but does go through and ends up slicing it off the willow. It swirls up in the night sky for a long, long time over mid on. Four fielders including Jos Buttler converge to take the catch but it lands with pin-point precision in the no-man's land. A single taken. It is getting a bit nervy now for both sides.

A very important dot delivery to begin with! Sam Curran steams in from over the stumps, lands it full and it deviates away from the deck, outside off, and zips past the outside edge of the batter.

A crucial dot to end the over. Back of a length, just around off, Roston Chase stands tall and only manages to hit it back to the bowler. Fantastic last couple of overs for England as they keep hanging around. A wicket a just three runs from this one. West Indies need 21 off 18 now.

Fires it fuller and on the middle and leg, Sherfane Rutherford flicks it along the ground to long on for a single.

Almot half-tracker around off, Roston Chase punches it through covers for a single.

Roston Chase is the new batter in.

OUT! LBW! A huge, huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger this time. Rovman Powell checks his shot and eventually goes for a review to challenge the on-field decision. John Turner steams in from over the wickets and sears it on a length, angling on the middle, Rovman Powell clears his front leg to hoist it across in the air but plays over the line of the ball and gets rapped on the front pad. UltraEdge shows nothing and the Ball Trackig comes up with three reds with he ball hitting the middle and off stumps. Rovman Powell departs after playing a crucial captain's knock. Also, the maiden T20I wicket for John Turner.

Turner hits the deck hard, around off, Rovman Powell covers the stumps and pats it back to the bowler.

Fires it fuller and on the toes, Sherfane Rutherford flicks it nicely to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Nice and full, angling on the leg stump, Sherfane Rutherford tilts ahead and flicks it with soft hands to deep mid-wicket for a single. Saqib Mahmood remains wicketless but nonetheless, this is another fantastic spell of bowling from him. Just four runs from his last over. West Indies need 24 off the last 4 overs.

Back of a length, over the top of middle, Rovman Powell stays on the back foot and punches it through the vacant mid on region for an easy single.

Nice bowling! Straight and full, on off, Rovman Powell takes a half stride ahead and pushes it gently back to the bowler.

Keeps the line of attack on the stumps, does Saqib, on a good length, Sherfane Rutherford nudges it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Back of a length, on the middle and leg, Sherfane Rutherford gets on his toes and punches it to the left of the bowler.

Short of a good length, over the top of middle, Rovman Powell stands tall and pulls it along the ground to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Saqib Mahmood (3-0-20-0) is back for his final over.

Too full at the stumps, Powell flicks the low full toss past square leg to make it six singles in the over.

Five singles in a row, smart batting. On the shorter side and around off, Rutherford backs away to cut but gets an under edge behind point for a run.

Flatter one, trying to push it across the right-hander, Powell pushes it back down through mid on for one more.

Speared in around off, Rutherford eases it past covers for another single.

Quick and well short over middle, Rovman Powell rocks back and pulls it flat towards deep square leg for one more.

Fired in at the batter, Rutherford heaves it away behind square leg for a single.

A gamble from Buttler as he brings Dan Mousley into the attack now. He is 1-0-13-0 so far.

SIX! Rovman Powell keeps pulling West Indies ahead in the game. Tossed up, right in the slot and around middle, Powell picks the bones out of that one as he launches it high and mighty over wide long on for a biggie. Just 34 needed now off 36 balls.

Some turn on offer now. Darted in around off and turning away, Rutherford rocks back and pats it square through point for a single.

Rutherford is down on the ground as soon as he strikes that six. He is being helped by Rovman Powell with some stretches and now, the physio runs out to check him. He has pulled off his hamstring and looks in a bit of discomfort out there. Also, the two umpires converge and have called for the change of ball as this one seems to have lost its seam completely. The fourth umpire is out with a bag of balls. Rutherford is now ready to continue and the ball has been exchanged as well.

SIX! Almost another catching opportunity but Rutherford just gets enough on it. Rehan Ahmed dangles the carrot again with a floater on middle, Rutherford gets down and looks to slog but ends up getting a top edge down to long on and the ball sails over the fence for a six.

Flat and full around off, Sherfane Rutherford watchfully blocks it to the off side.

Sherfane Rutherford is the new batter in at number 6. Also, Liam Livingstone is being attended by the physio as his right knee got plugged off the turf. Oh dear, Livingstone is walking off the field. Fortunately, he is not limping and might as well be back on the field in some time.

OUT! TAKEN! That is an unbelievable catch from Liam Livingstone but he seems to have hurt himself in the process as well. Rehan Ahmed comes from around the wicket and tosses the ball up in the slot around middle, tempting the batter to go big. Shimron Hetmyer clears the front leg and looks to go big but miscues it a mile high over mid on. Liam runs back over his head and covers a fair distance as well before leaping back and grabbing it with both hands. His right knee though gets stuck in the turf and that doesn't look good, hopefully he is fine. England get another timely wicket and just keep themselves in the game.

No run, the batter looks to play that but is comprehensively beaten.

SIX! It's not just the extras but what these extra deliveries cost that hurts most sides. Pitched up in the slot on off, Rovman Powell gets under it and lifts it magnificently over long off for a biggie. Powell held the pose for that one as well.

WIDE! Another extra and England can't afford these right now. Good bumper over the front shoulder but just angling down leg for a wide.

Back of a length and over off, hurrying the batter, Rovman Powell presses back and punches it towards mid off.

WIDE! Will have to reload that one as this is bowled full and spilled down the leg side.

Hard length, angled in from a bit wide on the crease, Powell stands tall and punches it back to the bowler.

Back of a length on off, nibbling away, Shimron Hetmyer gets squared up and the ball goes off the shoulder of the bat down to deep third. Another single.

Fullish length, darting it in at the pads, Powell clips it away behind square leg for one more.

Pitched-up delivery on off and angling away, Hetmyer plays it on the rise and to the left of mid off for a quick single.

Jos Buttler has summoned Saqib Mahmood back into the attack now. He is 2-0-9-0 so far and replaces John Turner.

A full toss now on middle, Powell isn't expecting it and it dips a touch as well and ends up just pushing it down to mid on.

Fractionally short on off, Powell rocks back and cuts it fine of short third where Jamie Overton dives and makes half a stop. The batters do well to scamper back for the second run.

FOUR! Rovman Powell showing the full range here. Flat and a bit full around off, Powell is early to get across and just laps it fine of short fine leg for a boundary.

Around the wicket to the left-hander, bowled a touch full and around off, Hetmyer leans on and plays it towards mid on for one more.

Quicker and flatter at the stumps, hit away through the mid on region for a single.

SIX! Rovman Powell doesn't want to back down, rather he wants to counter. Googly, bowled full and outside off, Powell reaches out and clubs it away over long on for a biggie.

On the fuller side and attacking the stumps, pushed away towards mid on for a single.

Hard length over the stumps, bunted out to the off side by Powell and he looks for the single but is quickly sent back by Hetmyer.

The bumper now, banged in over middle and leg, Hetmyer gets nicely on top of the bounce and hits it down in front of square leg for one.

Uh, oh! A misfield and that could have gone to the fence. Very full on the stumps, Shimron Hetmyer jams it out to the left of mid off where Jamie Overton dives over the ball and has to chase back as the batters pick up a couple of runs.

Full again and on off, Powell pushes it out wide of the cover fielder and scampers across for a quick single.

FOUR! Crunched! John Turner comes back in and serves a half-volley outside off, Rovman Powell leans ahead and hammers the drive wide of sweeper cover for a boundary.

Dropped short in length, spinning away from the right-hander, Rovman Powell goes on the back foot and cuts it through cover-point for a single to end the over.

Full and on the leg stump, Hetmyer tucks it to wide of mid-wicket for a single.

Full and tossed up on off. Hetmyer gets forward and blocks it.

Shimron Hetmyer walks out to bat with West Indies in a bit of a free fall.

OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! What a turnaround this has been! Three wickets in three deliveries and England has well and truly roared back in this contest. Rehan Ahmed dishes out another deceptive googly, lands it on a good length. It lands, grips and turns away from the left-hander. Nicholas Pooran goes deep inside the crease and finds himself a bit cramped up for room to tuck it across. Plays the wrong line and inside edges it into the stumps. Rehan dismisses Pooran on a duck and West Indies in heaps of trouble now. The hosts have now slipped from 136/0 to 136/3 within three deliveries.

Rovman Powell is in next.

OUT! RUN OUT! Oh, dear! What an unfortunate way to get out! Another googly from Rehan, outside leg. The ball spins sharply away from the left-hander. Pooran flicks it to mid-wicket and looks for a quick single to get off the mark but eventually sends his partner back but Hope is backing too far as he is already more than halfway to complete the single. He does turn around and tries to retreat back to the bowling end. But Liam Livingstone is very quick to pick and the throw comes flat to the bowler where Rehan does the rest. Shai Hope is nowhere in the frame and this is a suicidal run out, to say the least. Both the set batters are into the pavilion now. With this, West Indies has lost both openers in a snap. England making inroads now.

Drinks break! West Indies were hardly getting going in the last 3 games but finally, the opening pair has delivered and how! This has been an unreal display of power-hitting this far and the back of the chase is absolutely broken. With the required rate already under 8 runs an over, this should be a cake walk from here. England though will know that wickets in a heap could change things pretty quickly. Also, Nicholas Pooran walks out to bat now.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! Finally, a respite for England! Rehan Ahmed strikes and removes the dangerous Evin Lewis! Rehan Ahmed dishes out a wrong'un, full and just outside off. Lewis gets deceived by the flight and the googly. Goes for another big hit down the ground but the bat turns in his hands and it goes high for an eternity towards deep cover. Dan Mousley runs forward from the deep and takes an easy catch while sliding. Evin Lewis departs on a well-made 68 off 31.

OH. MY. WORD! Jos Buttler has saved 5 for his team with a screamer of an effort in the deep. Curran dishes out a back-of-the-hand slower one, and keeps the line of attack just outside off. Lewis flat-bats it straight over long off to clear the fence. Buttler from long off sprints to his left and puts in a mighty dive and gets a hand to it and flicks the ball masterfully and keeps it inside the field of play.

WIDE! Curran bowls an over-the-head-bumper on the bodyline, Evin Lewis ducks safely under it. Wide given.

SIX! Not exactly where Lewis intended to hit but it comfortably clears the fence! Curran again takes the pace off and bowls it full on the middle and leg, Lewis looks to heave it away across but gets a leading edge that flies just over the deep third for a six.

SIX! Gee, the ball is just sailing over the fence! Curran hurls a friendly half-volley on off, Evin Lewis clears his front leg to create room, gets his bat underneath, times perfectly and dumps it behind long off for a 83 meter six.

FOUR! Punished! These two are just toying around with the field at the moment! Curran takes the pace off from the ball and bowls it on a good length around middle and leg. Lewis muscles it to deep mid-wicket and beats the fielder patrolling the boundary to his left for a boundary.

FOUR! More runs and a FIFTY for Evin Lewis. His 12th in the T20I career! Wayward from Sam Curran, angling on the pads, on a good length, Evin Lewis waits for it and just pulls it aerially behind deep fine for a boundary.

Full and fairly outside off. Hope drives it to deep cover for a single.

SIX! Go fetch that, says Evin Lewis! The most expensive over in this chase so far. Dropped fuller and flatter on the stumps, on middle and off, Evin Lewis stays in his crease and heaves it across. Gets it just over the ropes behind deep mid-wicket for a six. This has been an acceleration of the highest order from these two openers.

WIDE! Under pressure, is Livingstone. Fired flatter and wide outside the tramline. Wide called.

Halt! The ball has gone out of the ground and needs to be replaced. The players take this opportunity to re-hydrate.

SIX! OUTTA HERE! Liam Livingstone bowls a regular leggie on the off stump line, but drops it right into the arc of the southpaw. Evin Lewis waits for it to arrive, shapes up nicely to propel it over long on for a monstrous six.

Full and flat, driven straight to mid off.

FOUR! Elegant! Quicker from Liam Livingstone, on the pads, Evin Lewis half-squats at it and paddles this good-length delivery towards deep backward square leg for a boundary. 100 up for West Indies.

SIX! Mighty hit! Liam Livingstone drops a half-volley on off, Evin Lewis clears his front leg and deposits it behind long on for a huge six.

Tossed up and full at the stumps. Lewis steps down and flicks it to widish deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

FIVE WIDES! Oh, dear! A sloppy start from Livingstone! He sprays it down leg on a fuller length, Evin Lewis fails to get any bat on it and the ball also beats Phil Salt to run down to deep fine for five bonus runs.

FOUR! FIFTY for Shai Hope! And it has come in just 20 deliveries. Rehan drops a predictable short one, which stays low a tad bit, Shai Hope rocks back and pulls it along the ground through the mid-wicket region for a cracking boundary.

Dragged length, slightly outside off. Lewis works it to deep cover for a single.

Length ball just outside off. Hope pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

SIX! Shai Hope is in the mood! A googly, slightly short, turning back into the batter. Shai Hope is quick to transfer the weight on the back foot, reads the googly and tonks it over long on for a six.

Dropped short, around off, Evin Lewis hangs back and cuts it to deep backward point for a single.

Fuller in length outside off. Hope drags it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

Flat, quick and very full around off, Evin Lewis drills it powerfully but straight to the fielder at mid off. End of the Powerplay and West Indies are 69/0 versus England's 63/1 at this phase.

Back of a length outside off. Lewis goes for the pull but misses it to the keeper. Phil Salt is quick to flash the bails off and looks at the leg umpire but Lewis is well inside his crease.

SIX! Powerful! Drags his length, does Dan Mousley, on the middle and leg, Evin Lewis is quick to use the depth of the crease and pulls it over cow corner for a huge six.

An appeal for stumping and Phil Salt is very confident that he has got his man. Mousley stays around the stumps and darts in a fuller one, drifting outside leg, Lewis misses to work it across and Salt does the rest by dislodging the bails. The TV umpire is summoned to check for the stumping. Fair delivery to begin with and after several rolls, the TV umpire deems that Lewis' back leg is ground when the bails are dislodged.

Is that stumped? Phil Salt seems confident and if it is stumped then Evin Lewis will be furious with himself. The third umpire is called in and it seems very close on the first replay. It is eventually confirmed that Lewis did manage to get his toe on the deck just before the bails came off. NOT OUT!

Mousley adjusts his line and bowls it on the middle and leg, Shai Hope works it to wide of long on for a single.

SIX! Dan Mousley is greeted with a monstrous hit! Flat and full, across off, Shai Hope clears his front leg and lofts it powerfully over deep covers for a six. This is some brutal hitting.

Time for spin. Dan Mousley is introduced into the attack now.

Brings out that skiddy bumper and bowls it halfway down the pitch over middle, Evin Lewis lets it be.

Pitched up at the stumps, angling it in, Lewis hangs back and heaves it wide of mid on for another brace.

Top effort in the deep from Dan Mousley to save the boundary. Full and right in the blockhole at the stumps, Lewis takes the front leg out and manages to squeeze it wide of short fine leg. Mousley from deep square leg runs across to his left and dives in to save two runs.

WIDE! Pace off but this is spilled full and down leg for a wide.

Persists with the full ball but brings the line closer to the off stump and bowls it with the scrambled seam. Hope plays it on the up and towards deep point for a single.

FOUR! Glorious batting this from Shai Hope and he has raced to 33 off 16 even after playing out a maiden. Too full and wide, Hope is able to drive it away wide enough of sweeper cover to pick up a boundary. 0 up for West Indies as well.

Excellent running! Comes from over the wicket and dishes out a full and wide one, Shai Hope reaches out and jams it away wide of deep covers for a couple of runs.

Sam Curran is introduced into the attack now. He replaces John Turner. This is the first time when Curran is bowling in the Powerplay in this T20I series.

Hard length again and angled into the batter, tucked away in front of square leg for a single by Hope.

FOUR! The ball is just pinging off Hope's bat now. Hard length around middle and this one nips back in as well, Hope somehow manages to flick it away and past square leg as the ball races away to the fence.

FOUR! Good, aggressive intent from Hope. Full and wide this time, Hope throws his hands at it and slices it wide left of Jacob Bethell at deep point for a boundary.

FOUR LEG BYES! A touch too straight and pays the price. Good length, darted down leg, Shai Hope fails to get a bat on it and the ball clips the pads before rolling away down to fine leg for four bonus runs.

Slightly fuller now and straighter too, shaping it back into the left-hander. Lewis is late of the flick and gets it off the pads onto the leg side for a leg bye.

Evin Lewis has taken the blow right near the groin and is being attended by the physio. Meanwhile, the other players help themselves with some fluids. Lewis gets some treatment by the physio and is good to continue now.

The bowler seemed quite interested but that looked well high! Just back of a length on middle, that one came back in late and sharply too. Evin Lewis gets taken back and gets struck around the groin region. The physio is out as well. Ball Tracking later shows that the ball was comfortably going over the stumps.

FOUR! 25 off the over and West Indies are in the ascendancy now! Hard length but wide outside off, Shai Hope goes after it and hammers it past covers for another boundary.

SIX! That is a shot and a half from Shai Hope and the debutant is now taking a real pounding. On the shorter side and over off, Hope picks up the length early and plays a short-arm jab, muscling it over wide long on for a biggie. The best shot of the innings so far.

FOUR MORE! John Turner will consider himself a bit unlucky here. Pitched up on off, angling in, Shai Hope looks for the big heave but gets an inside edge that flies past the inside edge and into the fine leg fence.

FOUR! Wow, the sound that made off the bat was brutal. Not all that short but offering width, Shai Hope stays upright and smashes it flat and square through the off side to get off the mark with a boundary.

Just back of a length and around the body, Lewis gets cramped for room and tucks it away through mid-wicket for one.

SIX! Finally, a shot of authority from Evin Lewis! Hard length around the pads, Lewis just whips it off the pads and doesn't even look at it as the ball sails over fine leg for the first biggie of the chase.

Would you believe it? A maiden in a chase of 219 runs! Nice and full on off, swinging away, Shai Hope caresses it with the swing towards cover.

Shai Hope looks to break the shackles by stepping out but fails to make a connection. Back of a length over middle and swinging away, Hope steps out and just blindly swings across the line only to connect with thin air.

This is fine bowling from Mahmood here. Hits the hard length now and bowls it around off, Hope pats it away in front of point.

Good length and on a tight line around off, this one nips away as well, Shai Hope is pegged back a bit and ends up jabbing it away from the body towards cover-point.

Movement again and a bit loose again from Hope! Hard length outside off, shaping away with not much bounce, Hope reaches out to cut but is beaten again.

Nice start from Mahmood! That in-between length in the channel and this one swings away, Shai Hope gets caught on the crease and plays a loose push at it and gets beaten past the outside edge.

Pace from the other end? Indeed, Saqib Mahmood to share the attack.

FOUR! Streaky but Evin Lewis does get off the mark! John Turner goes full this time around off, Lewis throws his hands at it and gets a thick outside edge over Jamie Overton at first slip for a boundary. West Indies 5/0 after the first over of the chase.

Excellent stuff after that first ball from Turner. Back of a length on middle and nibbling away, Evin Lewis gets across a bit to block it off.

No run there either! Banged into the pitch and around middle, Lewis dabs it down in front of mid on.

A loud call of 'No' from Shai Hope and rightly so. Just back of a length at the body, nudged away to the left of mid-wicket and Evin Lewis looks for one but scampers back as Sam Curran latches onto the ball in a flash.

Hits the deck hard and bowls it on a tight line around off, Lewis punches it away towards point.

Movement off the deck this time! Fullish length around off, this one leaves the left-hander by some distance and Evin Lewis just shoulders arms.

WIDE! A bit of a loosener to begin with from the debutant. Steams in from over the wicket and bangs it in down the leg side for a wide.

OUT! RUN OUT! They had to go for the second but it just wasn't there and it will be a joint-highest T20I total at this ground. Full and straight at the stumps from Obed McCoy, Sam Curran stays back in the crease and flicks it away through mid-wicket for one and they press hard for two. Shimron Hetmyer picks up the ball and fires in a good throw at the keeper's end as Nicholas Pooran takes off the bails in a flash and Curran gets out on the last ball of the innings as England finish with 218/5 on the board.

SIX! That's some shot! Banged well into the pitch and outside off, Sam Curran gets across and clobbers the ball like a tennis smash and gets it well over deep mid-wicket for a biggie.

Excellent running again and these two are milking every single run possible. Slower one, a tad short and outside off, Bethell looks to pull but misses but they get across for a bye.

Good running! Into the pitch and well outside off, Bethell goes across to reach it and slaps it down the ground in between long off and long on for a couple of runs.

Back of a length and outside off, hitting the deck hard, Sam Curran goes back and across before pulling it down to deep mid-wicket for one.

Hard length on off, Bethell hangs deep and hammers it down to long off, without much timing and gets a single.

Obed McCoy (3-0-29-0) to wrap up the first innings.

Full and straight, Curran hangs back and whips it away wide of deep mid-wicket for a couple of runs.

Top-class bowling this from Alzarri Joseph. Quick and full again at 142.8 KPH, right at the shoes of the batter, Jacob Bethell gets cramped for room and ends up squeezing it off the pads onto the off side for another leg bye.

Keeps the length very full and gets it right in at the toes, Sam Curran flicks it away to deep square leg for one more.

Full and fast, attacking the pads, Bethell misses the flick and gets it off the back leg towards short fine leg. They get a leg bye.

Much better from Joseph as he nails the yorker now on middle, Curran can only hit it down to long on for a single.

SIX! Clean strike! Alzarri Joseph misses the yorker by a few inches and serves a low full toss on middle and leg, Sam Curran takes the front leg out and launches it straight over long on for another biggie. The 200 also comes up for England.

Alzarri Joseph to bowl the penultimate over. He is (3-0-23-1) so far.

SIX! Ruins a perfectly good over with that last ball. Too many pace-off deliveries, this is pitched up around off and Bethell picks it. Gets a bit low and smokes it a long way over the cow corner fence for a biggie.

Keeps peppering that shortish length with the slower deliveries. This is bowled wide of the off stump and Curran pulls it across through mid-wicket for one.

Another pace-off delivery, dug in short over off, pulled away without much timing towards mid on for a single.

Gets this one spot on though! Slower one, into the pitch and around off, it is the cutter that stays low as well. Bethell looks to swing across the line but is comprehensively beaten.

WIDE! Wayward from McCoy as the attempted slower one is spilled beyond the tramline outside off.

Just the one there! Bowled into the pitch over middle and angling in, Curran makes room and pulls it away well in front of square for a single.

Swung away for a single! McCoy comes from over the wicket and pitches it up, wide of the off stump, Bethell fetches and swats it away to deep mid-wicket for one.

Chase drops it very full and straight on the middle, Sam Curran looks to whip it across the line of the ball but gets a thick inside edge onto the pads. Yet another expensive over from the Windies' spinner this evening. 19 runs off it.

Fuller and straighter at the stumps. Bethell drills it to long on for a single.

SIX! Wow, a hat-trick of sixes from Jacob Bethell to bring up a fine half-century. Darted in full and at the stumps, Bethell hangs deep and clears the front leg before hammering it right back over the bowler's head for a biggie. England on course for a mammoth total here.

SIX! Another one and this has been middled! Fractionally short and angled into the body, Bethell backs away and flat-bats the pull in front of deep square leg for another six.

SIX! High and long enough! Dropped well short over leg stump, Bethell rocks back and pulls it high up and over deep square leg for a biggie. That came off the toe end of the bat.

Speared in at the stumps, Bethell steps out and converts it into a full toss but slices it away to backward point. Also, Shamar Springer is on as a substitute fielder for Evin Lewis who has gone off the field with some sort of an injury.

Good hustle from the big man, Obed McCoy. Banged into the deck and angled across off, Sam Curran hangs back and dabs it wide of short third where McCoy dives across and gets half a stop in. They get two runs.

Pitches the ball up into the pads, Curran flicks it wide of short fine leg and picks up a couple of runs to get going.

Back of a length around off and middle, Sam Curran hops back to defend.

Bowls this one into the deck and over middle and leg, Bethell pulls hard and straight to deep mid-wicket for a single.

FOUR! A bit deliberate that from Bethell! Good length on off, angling away, Bethell with a very late cut, gliding it off the outside edge in between the keeper and the fine short third fielder for a boundary.

Hard length from Joseph over leg, Jacob Bethell looks to tuck it away but is beaten for pace and takes a blow to the body.

Sam Curran is the new batter in.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! No real celebration from Motie on this one but a wicket whatsoever for West Indies. Motie dishes out a full toss around middle and leg. Livingstone is taken by surprise due to the pace. He does goes through the shot as he sits on his knee and executes a tentative heave across the line. Doesn't get the timing right at all and also loses the grip of his bottom hand. It travels in the air and lands straight into the hands of Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket. Liam Livingstone departs for 4 off 6 and England are 155/4 now.

Tossed up, fuller and outside off, Liam Livingstone drives it inside-out through covers. The ball is cut off by Evin Lewis in the deep who runs to his left from deep point and the batters cross for the double.

Good length, flat and on off, Jacob Bethell gets on the back foot and punches it across to deep mid-wicket for one.

Drinks! Well, it has been England all the way so far as they have managed to mount 100 inside the ten overs. Phil Salt and Will Jacks constructed a solid foundation for England and it is now on the middle order to cash on it. Jos Buttler has got the start and would like to extend it further while maintaining a good scoring rate. West Indies on the other hand have yet again struggled to create breakthroughs inside the fielding restrictions and have been taken to the cleaners so far. However, with this pricy wicket of Salt, the hosts would aim to stem the flow of runs. Jacob Bethell is the new batter in for England at number 4.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Would you believe it? Roston Chase strangles Phil Salt down the leg side and West Indies get a timely wicket. Quicker through the air and on the pads, angling just down leg, Salt gets across to pull it fine but just gets a tickle on the way through.

FOUR! Oh, that's glorious from Jos Buttler. Fractionally short around off, Buttler presses back and plays a back-foot punch cover drive over the infield and picks up a boundary.

The TV umpire wants to have it checked for a fair catch. Quite surprising though as the fielder himself accepted that the ball yorked his hands on his dive forward. And the replay also confirms the same. NOT OUT loads on the giant screen.

Top-class effort from Obed McCoy and he nearly pulls off a sensational catch. Akeal Hosein bowls it into the deck on off, Phil Salt looks to press back and launch it over long off but miscues it well over mid off.

OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The hard length ploy finally brings a breakthrough for Alzarri Joseph and the Windies! Alzarri Joseph sticks to bowling on the back of a length, it skids through and comes off the deck very quickly off the deck. He follows the batter as Will Jacks shuffles outside leg to execute the pull shot. Gets cramped up for room but still goes through his shot. Gets no bat on it and the ball lobs high up in the air off his gloves. Nicholas Pooran behind the pegs runs to his left and calls for his catch and does the rest. Phil Salt departs for 25 off 21 and England are 54/1 after 5 overs.

SIX! BANG! Full in length and drifting on the middle and leg, Will Jacks tonks it downtown for a powerful six. An expensive over from Akeal Hosein, 18 runs off it.

An ambitious appeal for LBW from Akeal Hosein but the umpire says 'No'. Rovman Powell, the skipper of West Indies thinks that height might be the factor and hence, they do not opt for the review. Akeal bowls it flat and on a length, around off, Will Jacks misses on his slog sweep and wears it on the body. Ball Tracking comes up later and shows that it indeed is going above the off peg.

All in readiness for the game to begin. The umpires are making their way out to the middle followed by the players of West Indies and this now marks Nicholas Pooran's 102nd T20I cap, making him the most capped Windies player in T20Is, overtaking Kieron Pollard who had 101 caps. It will be the duo of Phil Salt and Will Jacks to open the innings for England. Obed McCoy has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...

Will Jacks is up for a flash interview. He says that the team has been doing well in this series and being 3-0 shows how good they have been. Says they are looking to finish this tour on a high note. About his batting, he tells that he has got the starts and would love to score more runs. Says they have worked hard and are grinding in the nets to assess the conditions. On being asked about his batting position, he says that he loves to bat at any position and also tells that he batted at number 3 in the T20 World Cup earlier this year and is also happy to open. Thanks his skipper Jos Buttler for giving him the chance and ends by saying that he is delighted to contribute.

PITCH REPORT - Nikhil Uttamchandani is pitchside. He says that pacers are generally used a lot more here than any other ground in the West Indies. Adds that square boundaries are 63 meters on either side and there is a breeze as well. Ian Bishop joins him and says that the wind will also affect the dew which might not set in as much. Reckons that the pacers won't get much lateral movement but the pitch looks hard and has live grass on it as well.

The captain of England, Jos Buttler says it has been a challenge for any team to bat first and set the total. Adds that they have to keep raising their standards. Informs John Turner will be making his debut and Jofra Archer has been rested for this match. Mentions that their bowlers have done extremely well in this series and also adds that this match adds a new challenge for them and they are up for it.

Rovman Powell, the captain of West Indies says that they will bowl first. Adds that the surface looks good and it has generally favored the chasing side. Mentions that it is time for the players to stand up and it is always good to lose a series 3-2 instead of 5-0. Informs that Sherfane Rutherford is in for Romario Shepherd as he has a slight niggle and Obed McCoy is in for Terrence Hinds. Reckons that the issue has been losing wickets whilst being overly aggressive and hopefully, they can change that today.

West Indies (Playing XI) - Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Roston Chase, Rovman Powell (C), Shimron Hetmyer, Sherfane Rutherford (In for Romario Shepherd), Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy (In for Terrance Hinds).

England (Playing XI) - Phil Salt (WK), Will Jacks, Jos Buttler (C), Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Dan Mousley, Rehan Ahmed, Saqib Mahmood, John Turner (ON T20I DEBUT and In for Jofra Archer).

TOSS UPDATE - The flip of the coin lands in the favor of the West Indies and Rovman Powell elects to BOWL first.

A tale of two Powerplays tells the story of this series! England's new ball prowess has been devastating, snagging 11 wickets in the first six overs to consistently run through the dangerous West Indies top order. In stark contrast, the hosts' bowlers have managed just 5 wickets during the same phase, failing to make early inroads. On these challenging surfaces, this stark contrast in new-ball bowling has often decided the game before it's truly begun. With all said, can the Windies salvage pride in the remaining two matches, or will the Englishmen continue on their merry way? Toss and team updates coming up shortly. Stay tuned.

England on the other hand, have ticked almost all the boxes in this T20I series. They have not only managed to restrict the opposition batters from scoring huge runs but have also found match-winners in different games in both facets. The whole batting unit has performed in unison with Phil Salt doing the most. And with England batting deep, the batters have played with extra freedom as well. But an even more improved stint came from the bowlers in the previous match with Saqib Mahmood justifying his presence in the team with three wickets and leading the wicket-taking charts. England will be keen to continue with this momentum and finish their Caribbean tour going unblemished, as far as this T20I series is concerned.

The script has flipped dramatically for the West Indies! Despite their ODI heroics and T20 pedigree, they've found themselves in unfamiliar waters. Their bowling attack has been toothless, claiming just 12 wickets across three defeats – all while defending totals. The injury blow to Matthew Forde, who's been sidelined with a thigh strain, has forced them to call up Obed McCoy in like-for-like replacement. Their batting woes compound the problems - Nicholas Pooran's uncharacteristic silence at the top has been deafening. However, skipper Rovman Powell's been fighting a lone battle from the middle order trying to omit all the lapses. This series has been a stark wake-up call for a team known for their T20 firepower.

Wah Gwaan? Greetings and a warm welcome to everyone joining us for another chapter in this immersive 5-match T20I series between the West Indies and England. We are the famous Darren Sammy International Stadium of Gros Islet for this fourth and penultimate T20I. England has already sealed the series as they lead by 3-0 and the remainder of the two matches are a huge opportunity for the hosts to restore pride.

... MATCH DAY ...

As the West Indies prepare to face England in the fourth T20I, the visitors hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the series. The West Indies have struggled throughout, notably collapsing to 37/5 in the powerplay during the third match. Captain Rovman Powell and Romario Shepherd helped them reach 145, but it wasn’t enough as England chased it down with four balls to spare. The West Indies' batting has been underwhelming, with power hitters like Nicholas Pooran and Evin Lewis failing to deliver consistently. Akeal Hosein stood out with a brilliant 4-22, but the bowling attack lacked support, with Terrance Hinds, Gudakesh Motie, and Alzarri Joseph conceding runs at crucial moments. In contrast, England's batting lineup has shown depth and resilience. After a shaky start at 37/3 in the third T20I, Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone played pivotal roles in the chase. Philip Salt’s century in the first match and Jos Buttler's explosive 83 not out in the second reflect their batting strength. Saqib Mahmood has led the bowling attack impressively, while Jamie Overton has played an important role as well. Rehan Ahmed struggled in the last game, and England may consider bringing Adil Rashid back in. The stage is set for an exciting contest as the West Indies aim to avoid the clean sweep.
