A great win for West Indies who have outplayed England in this series. And the West Indies are loving it, led by Gayle and a fairly brilliant selection of celebrations as they dance their way off the pitch to meet the fans. What a turnaround it's been: from the disaster of the Test series to nothing short of a triumph in these one-dayers. A team if not quite transformed, but on the up - and it's great to see. Join us for the England Test on the 19th but, until then, it's goodnight from me, Will Luke, Jenny Thompson and Andrew McGlashan.

Rampaul to Panesar, OUT, wrapped on the pads on leg stump, and the umpire raises his finger - and there's a series win for West Indies, full deserved
MS Panesar lbw b Rampaul 13 (31m 24b 2x4 0x6) SR: 54.16
Monty's broken his bat. My, that was some defensive from the Montster. Out comes the salesman, dripping in cheap aftershave, and Botham's now off on one of his rants, asking why Monty has more than one bat

Chris Gayle brushed off suggestions that he could permanently take over as West Indies captain
West Indies deserve to smile
With every wicket their bowlers took, there was an increasingly tangible sense of relief from West Indies. Relief that their tour was nearly over; relief that, for once, they were making good their talent: relief that they're not as bad as all that
