That's it from a run fest at Tarouba! England have levelled the 5-match series with the decider to be played on Thursday. That will be it from our end, here's the trio of Ninaad Dixit, Saptak Sanyal and Zeeshan Naiyer signing off. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Jos Buttler (England Captain)- "I know Salt since the Lancashire days, I know his game very well. So I think that helped us. I gave him the gloves to take a new role.
It was a very good game. I got a feeling like playing at the Hong Kong Sixes! I am really proud with the boys, their bravery! I think both the teams have played good cricket and it is great to go to the final game of the series with the series levelled at 2-2 margin."

Rovman Powell (West Indies Captain): "Credit is due, Phil Salt and Jos batted really well upfront. Those things do happen it gives us an opportunity to come and do better.
Its a very thin line. We are playing against world class players. Once you don't execute properly then they're gonna put you under pressure. That has been the case in the series. Once England bowlers did not execute we put them under pressure and its now our time to feel some of that pressure.
The boys like a final it seems. We come Thursday with brand new ideas, brand new plans and see our best we can entertain our fans at home. Its kind of a struggle in the third straight series. We've been in a good position we've failed to close out the series.
Its not punishment, the guys will relax. Sometimes when things don't go your way, you are pushing the guys. But sometimes you need to backup as a team, give them some alone time, give them some space. Because its a thinking game, if the guys are clear in their mind, they generally can execute."

Philip Salt (Player of the Match)- "I am definitely enjoying. This is a good place to come for cricket, our boys have been awesome and yes, I am enjoying it.
It is very satisfying to get two consecutive hundred. In the last six months, I have worked a lot on my game and my mental strength. The first hundred gave me the confidence.
After the first few overs, the batting got easy, With the new ball it was a bit tricky. But we boarded the runs quickly. I enjoyed my time with the gloves too. I got the opportunity and did my job.
Yes we were in some pressure at the start because you don't know how much run is enough because somebody like Dre Russ is in their team. We played our game and scored a good score."

Time for the post-match presentations.
4:37 AM IST, 7:07 PM Local Time: The visiting English side clinch a magnificent 75-run victory in a high scoring, six hitting spectacle at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba. The win sees England keep their hopes alive in the 5-match series.
West Indies captain Rovman Powell flipped the coin in his favour and decided to bowl first. Phil Salt became the third man in the history of T20Is to score consecutive centuries and with twin fifties from Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone, helped England post 267/3 in their 20 overs.
Moeen Ali chipped with Brandon King's wicket on the very first ball of the innings and conceded 20 runs in his first over. Reece Topley removed King's opening partner Kyle Mayers in the 2nd over but Nicholas Pooran got going in attacking fashion.
Topley created pressure conceding only 3 runs in his next over with Sam Curran reaping the rewards with Pooran's wicket on the very first ball of his spell. Sherfane Rutherford continued the assault with Shai Hope being dismissed by senior pro Chris Woakes in the 6th over.
West Indies found themselves at 87/4 at the end of the powerplay with a long batting lineup. Adil Rashid got the next wicket removing Windies skipper for a low score. Andre Russell carried the attack and hit boundaries at regular intervals.
Rehan Ahmed returning in the XI dismissed Sherfane Rutherford (36 off 15) just as he was picking up pace in his knock and dismissed Jason Holder for a golden duck. At the halfway stage West Indies the hosts required 139 runs.
Curran then joined the attack and removed Akeal Hosein in the 13th over. Matthew Forde on T20I debut had nothing special on the cards with the bat in hand. Russell continued his show despite wickets falling at the other end and completed his half century in 24 deliveries.
With Reece Topley coming back in the attack during the 16th over, Russell holed out one to Harry Brook with Windies bundling out for 192. Topley was the pick of the bowlers with 3/37. Sam Curran (2/25) and Rehan Ahmed (2/42) picked up 2 each with Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali taking a solitary piece each.
Both the teams will face each other again in a couple of days time in the series decider. Hang in for the post match presentation.

That's the game!! Andre Russell perishes after a scintillating half-century. England gets a comprehensive victory.
15.3 R Topley to A Russell
W IN THE AIR AND GONE! It's all over, West Indies bundles out and England remains alive in the series. A slower ball on length and outside the off stump. Russell goes for a big heave in the leg side but the ball flies in the long off region. Harry Brook runs in from long off and takes a straightforward catch. West Indies lose by 75 runs.
Half-century from Andre Russell. He is the lone warrior standing now for the Caribbean side.
15.2 R Topley to A Russell
4 FOUR RUNS!! Harry Brook with a surprising effort. Full and outside the off stump. Clears the front leg and smashes hard in the long off region. Runs and dives to his right, gets a hand on the ball but pushes the ball past the rope.
15.1 R Topley to A Russell
6 SIX RUNS!! Clubbed over long on!! Over the wicket, 122.2 kph. Length delivery pitching outside the off stump. Russell clears the front leg and smashes it big and long in the stands over wide long on.
86 needed from the final 5 overs. Russell to face Topley.
