WI VS ENG - 3rd T20I, England tour of West Indies, 2023

We have witnessed a run feast. England in the end did enough to win this. They gave away 222 but Salt scored a ton and took his side home. The series now stands at 1-2 for England. Windies were in control but the last few overs plenty of runs were given away. That is it from this game. We will see you soon in another game.

Jos Buttler: Great to keep the series alive. Hats off to Salt. Last game we talked about staying till the end. Credit to Salt. We tried a lot with the ball. Was a tough place for the spinners. The three-quarter balls were crucial. Salt has got such great intent. Staying in a game bit longer is important. Great effort.

Rovman Powell: It is obviously disappointing to lose after scoring 220. The way we finished was commendable. Our bowling was patchy. We have quality guys to do it in the team. We are six hitters and we try to hit as many as we can. The guys are improving and that is vital. We need to come up with better plans.

Phil Salt, Player of the Match: Feels like it has been long time coming. We have been talking about being a match-winner in the group. We tried to get it down 60-70 in the last 5 overs. There is a way to do it. Played it my way. The role with Jos was crucial. He is one of the best in the world.

16:59 Local Time, 20:59 GMT, 02:29 IST: England finally have the slice of luck that they desperately needed. That has meant they have tracked down 223. Salt and Buttler set it up. Jacks fell early but Salt continued. Livingstone played a cameo as well but it was the fantastic cameo of Brook that has snatched the game away from the hosts. His 7-ball 31 just ensured that Windies will have to wait for another game to have a shot. Salt with his ton never allowed the run-rate to be a factor. Earlier, Pooran and a few others ensured that Windies could breach the 200 mark very easily. 223 was never going to be easy. But England have managed to keep the series alive. Unlike the previous game.
