WI VS ENG - 4th T20I, England tour of West Indies, 2023

England have made an astounding comeback. That's what makes this sport so beautiful. When Windies toppled the 220 mark in the third T20I, it seemed England will go down 0-3. But they go into the final T20I as the favourites now. How quickly has life changed? How quickly have fortunes reversed? They look a gun team all of a sudden. Their bowling needs some polishing but even that will happen. And the venue today is one of the venues for the T20 WC. Expect it to rain runs then. Our coverage is pretty much non stop. But a little bit of a pit stop from this series. We will see you for the decider. This is KAD signing off on behalf of Abhinav and Harish.

Jos Buttler: Fantastic win. Showed so much character. Proud of the group. We went two nil down but seems a confident changing room. Has been an enjoyable partnership with Salt. He is playing brilliantly well. Tried to get a different perspective as a captain as I gave my gloves to salt. Both teams have played really well.

Rovman Powell: Phil and Jos batted really well. Those things happen. It is a very thin line. If you don’t execute, you will be under pressure. The boys like a final. We will come back with brand new ideas and brand new game plan. Thursday provides an opportunity for us to do that. Sometimes, when things are not going your way. You just back off. We will let them some time off and spend it with themselves. It is a thinking game.

Phil Salt, Player of the Match: I am definitely enjoying it. It is a cool place to come and place cricket. The boys have come out and done well. Very satisfying. The tweaks that I have made to my game have been on the mental side. It is a habit to score tons. I think after the first few overs, they bowled well. It evened out after the ball got older. Me and Jos realized that we could put them under pressure. They are a very good side. You never know what Dre Russ can do.

19:08 Local Time, 23:08 GMT, 04:38 IST: England have made it 2-2. They created history in the last game with a huge chase. And today sent the statsmen on a ride as well as they tallied 267. Windies came out all guns blazing as well. King fell off the first ball. But every batter coming in after that tried to hit a big shot every second ball and that I guess didn't help them. Pooran, Mayers, Rutherford, Hope et all got starts but none really converted it into anything substantial. Russell towards the end scored a quick fifty but he had a lot to do in the end. Topley and Rashid were the pick of the bowlers and their regular strikes impacted the chase big time. Buttler also rotated his bowlers really well to ensure 268 looked to far a bridge too cross. Earlier driven by Salt's ton, England racked up a mammoth 267. Buttler and Livingstone also had a gala time as they scored fifties to help Salt along the way.

Topley to Russell, out Caught by Harry Brook!! That's it. England win this by 75 runs. Russell was looking to the skin off the ball but miscued it. That was a slower delivery, Russell wanted to slog it across the line. But he managed to send it skywards without hitting it far. Brook came in and took an easy catch to finish it off. Russell c Harry Brook b Topley 51(25) [4s-3 6s-5]

Topley to Russell, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Topley to Russell, FOUR, Russell brings up his fifty. Was a fuller length delivery, Russell drilled it and Brook misfielded it at the long-off fence to allow the four. Rare miss from Brook. The Dre Russ show continues...

Topley to Russell, SIX, that's huge! Was a length delivery, wide outside off and Russell clears his front foot to send it away for a 108 m sixer. He butchered that

Adil Rashid to Russell, leg byes, 1 run, lovely deception as Russell jumped out. He tried to pad it actually and hence Adil Rashid appealled but the ball was turning away. The ball hit the pads and went back past the sticks for a single. 86 needed now off 5 overs

Adil Rashid to Russell, no run, short ball, outside off, Russell chops it hard but finds the man at point. They don't get a single

Adil Rashid to Russell, SIX, the man at long-on leaps up but it goes over him. Was a tossed up delivery, Russell fetched it from well outside off and slammed it hard. The ball went over the fielder. 87 needed now

Adil Rashid to Russell, no run, slower delivery, well tossed up outside off and Russell looks to slash it but misses

Adil Rashid to Russell, no run, dances down and drags it down to long-on. They don't take a single

Adil Rashid to Russell, SIX, goes back and slams it over deep mid. Was the front of the hand delivery and Russell stayed back to clobber it hard

Adil Rashid [3.0-0-23-1] is back into the attack

Topley to Motie, no run, fuller length delivery, angles in, Motie manages to keep it out into the on-side

Gudakesh Motie, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Topley to Forde, out Caught by Buttler!! Buttler holds on to that. That was a slower delivery, well outside off, Forde slapped it and found the man at cover. The batter wanted to go over the infield but failed to get the elevation. Easy take. Windies are nine down now. The writing is on the wall for them. A very ordinary game for Forde comes to an end. Forde c Buttler b Topley 3(5)

Topley to Forde, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
