PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Moeen Ali
Batter
Bowler
If you missed that knock from Moeen Ali, I'd suggest you go out of your way to catch it. It was quite something. So that's it from us. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Good night!
Ali: I think so. It was nice to get myself in, and just good to play a few shots. We were talking about taking some time initially. I enjoy coming in after some very good players, and then obviously you have the license to go for your shots. I feel very confident in my own game. Hopefully we win the series 4-0.
Moeen Ali is Man of the Match
Morgan: Absolutely delighted with that performance. There was a bit of grass on the wicket, tested our defence early. Moeen's innings was the difference between the sides. Their guys like scoring boundaries. Chris Gayle is one of the best batsmen in the world, and we came up trumps. Moeen's pretty chilled about everything. In the context of the series, he's been outstanding. Plunkett is almost Mr. Reliable. He's extracted more than our other seamers. Want to be as ruthless as possible.
Holder: I thought the balance was decent. Seamers came in and did a decent job. Powell kept things tidy and picked a crucial wicket for us. We faltered again at the death, it's been an area of concern for us. We didn't execute our yorkers. On a small ground, we paid for it. 320 was probably par on this ground. We kept a good run rate, but lost wickets at crucial stages. Got to be a lot better in the field. Were sloppy at times. Have to stay in the game for all 50 overs. The way Chris played was a positive. We need one of the top four batters to get a hundred.
In all fairness, West Indies were blown away well before they even had the chance to hold a bat. Moeen Ali absolutely numbed them with a breathtaking hundred in the first half, as he became the second fastest ODI centurion for England. He won't be forgetting this day in a hurry. Hang on for the presentations..
18:05 Local Time, 17:05 GMT, 22:35 IST: 2-0 to England. West Indies can't win the series from here. It would have taken something really special for them to chase down 370, even with the pitch being as good as it was, and the boundaries being as short as they were. For a brief while, Gayle entertained prospects of producing that 'something special'. But that was before his running between the wickets let him down yet again. The innings didn't take time to disintegrate from there.

Plunkett to Devendra Bishoo, out Caught by Eoin Morgan!! Taken at backward point. It was the slower off-cutter which gripped the surface a touch. It spooned off the outside edge as Bishoo tried hacking it through mid-wicket, and resulted in a simple catch to Morgan. Devendra Bishoo c Eoin Morgan b Plunkett 12(14) [4s-2]
