England brilliantly chased down West Indies with nine balls to spare to seal a four-wicket victory and a series triumph with one game left to spare in their T20I series.

The Windies set a tough target of 197 thanks in part to a wild penultimate over that yielded 31 runs, with Shai Hope (49) and Johnson Charles (47) setting the tone before the likes of Rovman Powell (34 off 15) and Jason Holder (29 off 19) boosted the tourists to 196-6.

But England had excellent contributions throughout the order, with Jos Buttler (47), Ben Duckett (30), captain Harry Brook (34), Jacob Bethell (26), and Tom Banton (30 not out) all playing a part in Bristol on Sunday.

It means England take an unassailable lead with one game still to play in Southampton on Tuesday, with Harry Brook continuing a dream start to life as white-ball captain having overseen a 3-0 ODI sweep.

IT20 series win secured!

Luke Wood (2-25), named Player of the Match after being brought in for this game, struck brilliantly with the very first ball of the match to send Evin Lewis packing.

The Windies did recover but, on a shorter pitch, may feel they left a few runs out there. When they smashed 47 runs from the final two overs, it looked as though they were right in the contest, with Holder hitting three sixes and Romario Shepherd clobbering a couple over the ropes.

As it transpired, though, it was a par total at best and Buttler - so influential in the first win - was in great touch again, albeit Charles put him down with a simple one at deep third before later making amends.

Brook was rifling through the gears before slicing one to deep cover with England still requiring 73 runs at that point. Bethell picked up the slack with some big hitting including three sixes in a 16th over that culminated in him playing one around the corner to Roston Chase.

But the damage was well and truly done and Banton came in to see out the job for an England side who managed their chase wonderfully.

Data Debrief: Rashid's expensive over doesn't derail England

Adil Rashid giving up 31 runs in the 19th over, the second most expensive by an English bowler in a T20I, meant the Windies ended their innings with more sixes (15) than fours (11). 

That represented the 56th time they have hit more sixes than fours in a T20I innings, with New Zealand next on that list with 20.

This game actually represented the highest number of runs scored in a T20I in which no player managed to pass fifty.
