Jake Ball to Ashley Nurse. Yorker, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, inside edge to silly point for 1 run, fielded by Ball. Windies finish on 288-6. A good finish to the innings for them after the lower-middle order provided a few cameo's, both Nurse and Ambris, on debut, played well and scored quickly. They've got Windies a decent total on a good batting track, but it's definitely something their bowlers will be interested in. The game's very much in the balance after the first innings, England bowled well but looked short of options without Stokes, Ball wasn't at his best and there was no alternative to relieve him. England will have to look at it in the future. Windies recovered well and their middle-order did what was expected from them, a good performance from the part of the batting line-up that has so often been underperforming this series. Windies bowlers may have the same problem today as Holder misses out, they are short of alternatives and it could come back to damage their hopes of victory later today.

FOUR! Jake Ball to Ashley Nurse. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Scoop, well timed in the air under control past deep backward square leg for 4 runs.

FOUR! Jake Ball to Ashley Nurse. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep cover for 4 runs. Another boundary for Nurse who just free's his wrists and swings through the ball, it goes into the gap over the covers and runs for four.

SIX! Tom Curran to Ashley Nurse. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs, dropped catch by Plunkett. Another six for Nurse, he had to stretch a bit further for it as Curran places it outside off and he heaves it down the ground like the previous delivery. It reaches Plunkett's hands right on the ropes as he's stretching over, but unfortunately he can't hold onto it and it's six.
SIX! Tom Curran to Ashley Nurse. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs.

OUT! Bowled. Liam Plunkett to Rovman Powell. Slower ball full toss, off stump on the back foot Slog, missed to slips. He's out the next ball though, a slower ball from Plunkett, perhaps not where he wanted it but it doesn't matter as it clatters into the top of off-stump on the full with Powell swinging all round it.
SIX! Liam Plunkett to Rovman Powell. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. Big shot from Powell who hits a pull on the up and it goes flying into the stands over mid-wicket.

FOUR! Jake Ball to Sunil Ambris. Half volley, to leg on the front foot flick, well timed past deep backward square leg for 4 runs. Another boundary as Ambris flicks the ball off his legs, he's looked very good so far on debut.
SIX! Marlon Samuels to Joe Root. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control over long off for 6 runs. Root hits it for six down the ground as England powered to victory in the last few overs here. The game and the series are all wrapped up with England winning today by nine wickets to conclude a 4-0 victory in the five game series. They've been very professional today, restricting Windies to a total that was always going to be hard to defend, and sweeping to victory with the bat, with a full 12 overs and nine wickets remaining. Windies struggled today and despite decent scores they ate up balls with the bat and couldn't get past that 300 mark. Bairstow and Roy were different class with the bat and both looked comfortable throughout. Bairstow gets his second ODI century in just four appearances as the opening batsman. Windies will have to go through the qualification process to make it to the next ODI world cup, they'll be bitterly dissapointed with how the series has played out.

FOUR! Ashley Nurse to Jonny Bairstow. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Poor ball from Nurse and for some reason Windies have mid-off in the circle, Bairstow swipes and it goes straight down the ground for four to long-off.
