  1. Goodbye ...published at 20:31 British Summer Time 27 September 2017

    A well timed run-chase which ended with England narrowly making it over the DLS par score. Unfortunate for the West Indies, particularly Evin Lewis and Alzarri Joseph.

    That's all from us. Join us on Friday as the final ODI takes place in Southampton. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Goodbye!

    So, to the back-end of this match ....

    West Indies were in top after Joseph's five wickets, but step up Mr. Jos Buttler and Mr. Moeen Ali. The pair put on 77 from eight overs.

    England captain Eoin Morgan was not at the presentation as the side were in a team-meeting.

    West Indies captain Jason Holder: "Evin set the tone for us up front and was able to bat deep. Unfortunately he was unable to bat in the last few overs.

    "He had to adjust to the situation. When he gets in he goes big. The stand with Mohammed was crucial and he was able to kick-on at the back end.

    "We always know the potential of Alzarri. He came in in the middle overs and gave us the impact we needed.

    "It's not often you one guy scores 170, another gets five wickets and you lose the game. We were aware of the DLS situation but we couldn't stem the flow of runs."

    Morgan's position will come under scrutiny, but it shouldn't. He's done a brilliant job. What he has done for the mindset of this team should not be overlooked.

    As we wait for the thoughts and reactions from the captains/players, back to our story of the day.

    With Roy and Bairstow in control for England, Alzarri Joseph struck with five wickets, leaving the hosts reeling. Eoin Morgan struggled again. There was also a fine catch from Chris Gayle.

    It's a shame the rain came, because it was turning out to be a belting game.

    And there it is. No more cricket at The Oval and England have won the fourth ODI and the series, with one match to play.

    It looks like it may be over. The umpires have inspected the wicket and are now shaking hands with both teams. Just waiting for confirmation ...

    Jason Roy made batting look like the easiest task on the planet. He was beautiful out there today.

    With the target set at 357, Jason Roy made the most of his recall to the England ODI side, getting the hosts off to a flying start.

    What a knock by Evin Lewis. He made it look easy. He was going on for 200 plus. He recognised he situation and held in the reigns and knocked it about, until he decided to go.

    But then Evin Lewis showed us what all the hype is about.

    Chris Woakes bowled beautifully at the start. He got three very good wickets and we thought that was it.

    Let's have a recap of today's play.

    It started off well for the hosts and Chris Woakes in particular, who took three early wickets.

    James Anderson rates no one. He always thinks he can nick people off. He said about Foakes "he's a good player". He's a good lad too, you need good tourists, like Steve Harmison. He once didn't take his blue pads on tour so he could fit more sweets in his bag. We used to call his room The Harmison Arms. He'd have a dart board, a bath filled with ice and 50 beers, and Auf Wiedersehen Pet on the telly.

    Brisbane will be crucial to how it goes down there. If England can get out of there with a draw...

    Are the Aussies having the same debate as to which of their players will be in their squad? The emphasis always seems to be on us. Shouldn't we be looking at what they're up to to inform our choices?
