Time for the post match presentations...

Earlier in the game, England set a target of 267 runs which was the fifth-highest innings total. Phil Salt and Jos Buttler put up 117 for the first wicket in 9.5 overs, setting the stage, and England took off quickly after that. Salt stormed to a 48-ball century while Jacks hammered 24 off 9 from No. 3. while Livingstone made a quickfire fifty. West Indies bowlers failed to pick wickets and that is what led them to such a mammoth total.

West Indies will be upset with their bowling effort. They started well with the bat but were always under pressure. Brandon King was dismissed on a golden duck. Their middle order chipped in from some cameos while Andre Russell made a terrific fifty but it just wasn't enough. They will look to bounce back from this and win the final game and the series.

That was a convincing win for the visitors and the series is now level at 2-2. England were off to a shaky start with the ball, but they made sure they kept on picking wickets. They picked a wicket whenever a good partnership was brewing for the Windies. None of their bowlers were wicketless, but Adil Rashid was the most economical of all. They will look to win the following game now as well as this series.
