9pm And with that, that's a wrap. Vish's report is awaiting you, but from Miller, Alan and Vairavan, good night!

Time for some presentations

Saqib Mahmood is Player of the Match: "As a bowling unit we had that mindset of taking wickets, they are stacked the whole way down but we haven't held back. In the past I felt I was keeping someone else's spot warm. A chance to express myself, me and Jof are really good mates, good communication. Didn't want to bat, nice to get a convincing 3-0."

Rovman Powell: "Disappointing we keep losing wickets in the powerplay. Didn't come off tonight. Got to be our natural self, but the element of being smart is missing. We lose wickets in clusters, the middle overs become a rotation, you can't go at hard in the middle and back end. The execution with the ball was proper, against quality English batters. Have to take more catches, got to keep getting better as individuals. Akeal, has been one of the stand-out performers. Only one or two standing up but Akeal has been fantastic for us."

Jos Buttler: "A real collective effort to win the series, set the tone with the ball in every game. Saqib, great for him to be back, he's delighted to be out there, you see the lengths he bowls, getting the ball up there and giving himself a chance to take wickets. In a strong place, great competition for places, and nice to see the growth. Sam Curran really mature, scored well, players putting their hand up is great. Delighted to win the series, easy not to put emphasis on bilateral series but lots of confidence to take forward. Got a hungry dressing-room, looking forward to the next two matches."

8.40pm And that's the end of that. A three-wicket win was rather tighter than the eight- and seven-wicket wins that preceded it, but the formula was the same. Aggressive bowling, led once more by Saqib Mahmood in the powerplay, then a suitably paced chase under the floodlights. Winning three tosses in a row clearly helped, but with Akeal Hosein claiming a super four-for, England needed to be on their mettle. Thanks to Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone, plus a useful 32 from Jacks through a tricky powerplay, they were. Had West Indies taken their chances, particularly a terrible drop by Pooran off Livingstone, this series might just have had a twist.

Aarav: "So remember at the start of the innings when I mentioned Eng's batting depth and hoped they didn't need it?" Probably no bad thing that they got to see it. Curran in particular hadn't yet been called upon in this series, but that was the most fluent knock of the night.

That is, incidentally, England's first series win in five attempts in the Caribbean, since 2019. Not to be sniffed at.

Afeef: "Livingstone's walking the talk about taking responsibility and showing maturity in the past few months."

Hinds to Rehan Ahmed, FOUR, inside-out from Ahmed, one bounce over deep point! England close out an improbably nervy chase to claim the series 3-0 with two to play!

Hinds to Overton, 1 run, tight line, angled in at the right-hander, but Overton opened the face and levels the scores with a nudge to deep third

It's too late for miracles, right? Hinds returns with the contest on the line
