7.04am  Earlier in the game, Shai Hope followed the trend at this venue and opted to chase. The drama unfolded as soon as Alzarri Joseph was introduced into the attack. Seemingly frustrated with a field setup disagreement, Joseph stormed off after taking a wicket in his first over. Romario Shepherd stepped in, striking twice in his opening spell to leave the tourists reeling at 24/4. Phil Salt then anchored England’s recovery with two crucial 70-run partnerships, first with Sam Curran and then with Dan Mousley. Though Salt and Mousley couldn’t provide the finishing touches, Overton and Archer unleashed an aggressive burst in the final overs to propel England to 263.

7.03am  The West Indies’ chase began promisingly, aided by an English new-ball attack that struggled to find its rhythm early on. Although Jamie Overton’s introduction brought a breakthrough, it didn’t do much to stem the flow of runs. King looked as assured as ever, while Carty grew in confidence as the innings progressed. Soon, both batters were matching each other shot for shot, and the game quickly turned into one-way traffic. Both batters reached centuries during their 209-run stand, with Carty's being a maiden ODI hundred, making it even more special. King couldn’t stay until the end, but Carty, along with captain Shai Hope, guided West Indies home with 7 overs to spare.

7.00am  An emphatic victory for the West Indies as they clinch the series in style! Chasing 264 turned out to be a stroll in the park for the hosts. Beyond just a series win, this triumph also brings crucial points in the race for direct qualification to the 2027 ODI World Cup. Despite the series loss, it hasn’t been all doom and gloom for the visitors. With as many as four players making their ODI debuts, they lacked experience but will take away valuable lessons from this series.
