WI VS ENG - 4th T20I, England tour of West Indies, 2024

That brings an end to our live coverage of the fourth T20I, but there's one more match left in this series. The venue is the same and we'll be back in less than 24 hours to bring you all the live action. Do join us. For now, this is Nikhil signing off on behalf of Abhinav, Anurag and Venky. See you tomorrow!

Rovman Powell: The guys were more committed today. All guys played well today. We are trying to tinker with the selection to get the right combination. We were forced to use only five bowlers today. He is very important for us. He (Alzarri Joseph) is the spearhead of our team, the other bowlers need to reach his standards. We have been looking around the Caribbean for bowlers, it's an opportunity for the bowlers to keep bowling well (and play for the West Indies.) There is still a lot to play for. We want to play well for the people of St Lucia who come out and support us.

Jos Buttler: Was an excellent wicket. We got off to a good start. They played exceptionally well and put us under pressure. They (openers) were hitting it over the fielders, so we were trying to keep fielders in different areas and tried to take their focus away. I think wrist spinners are wicket-takers in T20Is. Rehan brought us back in the game by creating chances. He is going to play a big part for England in the future. It was a good performance by us, but West Indies put up a good show and chased it down.

Shai Hope | Player of the Match: We had to assess the conditions, that's what we struggled in the earlier games. Just had to understand the situation and had to come out on top in the powerplay. Just need to do what the team requires. It's about understanding what is required and what the team needs. I prefer to bat in the middle, but I want to enjoy my cricket, so I am happy to bat anywhere. Need to work with my trainer (to avoid run-outs.)

19:40 Local Time, 23:40 GMT, 05:10 IST: West Indies might have lost the first three T20Is of the series, but they have put up a fine performance today and managed to get a win in the fourth T20I. Earlier in the day, it was a brilliant effort by England to post a 200-plus total as their batters chipped in with a collective effort. Salt and Bethell scored quick fifties to take the visitors close to the 220-run mark. But the West Indian openers had other ideas. They came out all guns blazing in the run chase and went bang bang at the top. Both - Lewis and Hope were brutal in the first half of the innings as they notched up their respective fifties to put the West Indies in the driver's seat. Both were dismissed in the 10th over of the run chase, but they had done their job before departing. Rehan Ahmed turned things around to an extent by taking three wickets, but the damage done by the West Indian openers was way too much. England did take the game right down to the wire, but Rutherford played a cameo and made sure there were no further hiccups. Stay around for the presentations..
