    England might have to be watchful in the first 10 overs or so, especially after the way Alzarri Joseph bowled at The Oval.

    Chippi: Jake Ball is the new Jade Dernbach. How he's going to the Ashes ahead of Plunkett I haven't a clue!

    Liam Plunkett has taken 23 wickets at an average of 24 this summer. It's the second most wickets taken in a home summer of ODIs for England.

    Sunil Ambris and Ashley Nurse provided the late muscle for West Indies, either side of Rovman Powell's departure, to leave England chasing 289 to win the match - and the series 4-0.

    Jake Ball's figures of 1-94 are the third most expensive for England in ODI history. Steve Harmison and Chris Jordan both conceded 97 in ODIs.

    Hope eventually fell to Jake Ball. but not before the seamer had taken some tap.

    Jason Mohammed, standing in as captain in the absence of Jason Holder, initiated West Indies' charge with 25 off 30 balls, which featured this six...

    ...but he was smartly taken by Joe Root to end a fourth-wicket stand of 52 with Shai Hope.

    Shai Hope played the Jonathan Trott role, anchoring the West Indies innings to the tune of 72 off 95 balls. He did have one life...

    Marlon Samuels sucked the life out of this innings. He blocked it and didn't do much, after the momentum created by Chris Gayle.

    Marlon Samuels - good old Marlon - barely got out of first gear in making a painstaking 32 off 60 balls. This shot was very much the exception rather than norm...

    Moeen Ali finally put Samuels out of his misery...

    Plunkett had a hand - quite literally - in removing opener Kyle Hope for 33.

    Chris Gayle started slowly, scoring five off his first 20 balls. He then took three successive sixes off Jake Ball...

    ...and it took a splendid catch from Liam Plunkett to remove him for 40 from 29 deliveries - and give England Tom Curran his first ODI wicket.

    Just joining us? Let me fill you in on what was a strange old innings, almost like an ODI from five or 10 years ago. There was some pinch-hitting at the start, consolidation (that's a nice way to put it) in the middle overs, and a bit of a charge at the end.

    This isn't enough for the West Indies. It looks a decent track. If England get off to a decent start and a flier, it's kind of done early.

  16. England need 289 to winpublished at 16:36 British Summer Time 29 September 2017

    That leaves England chasing 289 in 50 overs to win the final match and complete a 4-0 series victory. On a good pitch, you'd have to say they should get them.

    The West Indies will probably be quite pleased after that middle section where they were painfully slow.

    Nurse can manage onlty a single off the final ball of the innings, which was almost yorker-length from Ball but - again - wide of off stump.

  19. WI 287-6published at 49.5 overs

    Nurse attempts a repeat of that driven four. He manages only two.

    A glorious shot, that was wonderful from Nurse. Jake Ball must wonder what he has got to do.
