The West Indies catching and fielding has been so much better this series.

Great hundred from Salt. LL too slow though.

Jacks' six ball single not a big help either.

Amazing from Brook. Someone must have taken some tap at the end.

well, that's more like it

if I'd realised before now that this was on and that England had conceded 222, I wouldn't have given you tuppence for their chances of chasing it down, but fair play to them. Helped in no small measure by WIndies insistance on continuing to play the busted flush that is Andre Russell. He got a pasting the other night and England still couldn't find a way and he's had another pasting in this match. The difference tonight seems to be that England didn't get themselves completely bogged down against the spinner

31 off 7 balls from Brook right at the end. Quite a feat..... even against Dre Russ

Phil Salt off to a flyer again.

Whatever else we take from this series, he's definitely earned a good fun in the team.

Forgot about this. England carrying on from the end of the last game.

And they've got a new opener.

I think that last Livingstone six left the earth's atmosphere for a second then

32 for that T20I record.... 16 balls left....

I mean, its impressive by England, but is this game being played on the Trindad schoolboy International pitch. That Livingstone scooped drive just flew into the crowd.... is the boundary out there 50 odd meters or something?
