West Indies vs England, 4th T20I at Tarouba, WI v ENG, Dec 19 2023 - Match Result

That's all from us tonight, thanks for your company - and make sure to keep an eye out for Cameron Ponsonby's analysis from the ground. On behalf of Alan and Binoy, this is Matt Roller signing off.

Time for the presentations. Phil Salt is Player of the Match: "I'm definitely enjoying it. It's a cool place to tour. The boys have produced the goods in the last couple of games and now we've got a decider to look forward to. It's very satisfying. The tweaks that I've made to my game in the last six months from a mental approach point of view... it's good that I'm seeing the rewards now. Myself and Motty spoke after the last game and he said it's a habit. After the first few overs, they bowled quite well at us, and then it evened out. At the five or six over mark, it was probably at that point we realised we could put them under pressure. They're a very good side. The way their lads strike the ball, you never know what someone like Dre Russ is capable of. It's not often Jos gives the gloves, normally he's hogging them..."

Rovman Powell: "Credit where credit is due. Phil Salt and Jos batted really well up front. These things happen. It's a very thin line, we're playing against world-class players. Once you don't execute properly, they're going to put you under pressure. The boys like a final it seems. We'll come into Thursday with brand new ideas and plans... The guys will just relax. Sometimes you just need to give them some space. It's a thinking game, and once guys are clear in their mind, they generally can execute."

Jos Buttler: "A fantastic win. You don't play in too many of those games. It was like being at the Hong Kong Sixes! Really proud of the group, to play with the bravery, the courage and the skill level that we have. Really enjoyable partnership with [Phil Salt]. We've done it in the Hundred and with Lancashire. Just wanted to get a different perspective as captain... see how it goes. I don't mind either - not sure it makes too much difference either way. I think both teams have played some really good cricket. Great to be going into the last game of the tour at 2-2."

7.07pm: T20 cricket - you've got to love it. 459 runs, 33 sixes and a second consecutive century from Phil Salt to give England a 75-run win in Tarouba, posting their highest-ever score in this format before bowling West Indies out in the 16th over of the chase. West Indies kept up with the required rate for most of their innings, but regular wickets meant they never stood a realistic chance. Wickets shared around this evening, with all six England bowlers in the book.

This is the first-ever bilateral men's T20I series to have witnessed more than 100 sixes... and there's still Thursday's decider to come.

Two new entries on the podium: most sixes in a men's T20 international.

Mark: "May I suggest a liedown in a darkened room for the commentators after that? It must have been a real effort to keep up." -- Gladly, Mark... that or a stiff drink.

England now have a long-on, a long-off, and a man on the rope in between the two of them

99 required in six overs. Dre Russ, what have you got for us?

Into the last rites. Motie at No. 11.

Topley.

Matthew Forde is the No. 10 batter. England are two wickets away.

Amis: "This game the closest thing I've seen to stick cricket" -- Remember, every ball can be hit for six
