But that's all from me today, my thanks to Monty as well. Plenty of cricket coming up and all the best live coverage here on ESPNcricinfo. International, county, women's cricket, we've got it all in the coming months. I'll be back on Friday, see you then and goodbye for now...
Reaction to today's game from Andrew McGlashan reporting on England's record chase and George Dobell will be analysing this victory shortly too.
So that ends West Indies tour of 2012. They're off back home and then heading out to Florida to take on New Zealand in two T20s, the first of them on Saturday, before an ODI series back in the Caribbean and three Tests to follow too. England have a brief break before they take on Australia in a five-match ODI series starting on Friday. The South Africa tour coming up later on this year too of course...
Alex Hales is, predictably, man of the match for his 99 and here the winning skipper: "We did some really good things today," Stuart Broad, the birthday boy, says. "Having not played T20 for a while we maybe didn't react to things as well as we could. Steve Finn, once again, was fantastic."
"With the team we have we should be winning games but we haven't been able to achieve success and we haven't been consistently good," Darren Sammy says. "Probably we need to fight even harder. The guys are trying really hard."
And so ends West Indies tour of England. And it has ended in defeat. They're endured a pretty torrid time and go home winless. Today, they though they had a great chance of finally notching up a victory as they posted 172 for 4 with a counterattack led by Dwayne Smith's 70 and Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard smashing them to a good total. But they didn't have enough with the ball...
What a chase from England, that is very impressive, their highest successful chase in T20s...they've won here by seven wickets...it was a fabulous chase, managed by the highest T20 partnership for England between Alex Hales and Ravi Bopara. Neither man could see the side home and agonisingly Hales fell one short of the first T20 hundred by an England player but it was his career-best T20 score and he controlled the knock very well indeed...
