7.55pm: Okay, that's yer lot for tonight. After 440 runs and 32 sixes, we'll be straight back on it at the Daren Sammy Stadium tomorrow night for (hopefully) more of the same. Valkerie Baynes' match report is almost in the slot, ready to be dispatched; stick around for more from Cameron Ponsonby. Thanks from myself, Miller and Ranjith. See you again in less than 24 hours. Bye!

7.46pm: Presentations time, starting with Player of the Match Shai Hope: "We had to assess, that's one area we've missed out in first three games, losing early wickets. Understand the situation and go from there. Different situations require different approaches, just about what the team needs. Happy to bat anywhere. Maybe need to talk to the trainer about why I keep getting run out."

England captain Jos Buttler: "Thought it was an excellent wicket, got off to a great start with Jacks and Salty. Thought we needed at least 220. They payed exceptionally well, put us under pressure. Try to do something different, creating something with people in different areas. [Overton] He's good, just have to manage his workload through the series so he couldn't bowl today. [Rehan] Wristspinners are like gold dust, you need to take wickets. He was brave and got us back into the game. Good for confidence, we see him playing a big part in the future. Thought we played well, put up a good score and they played well to chase it down."

West Indies' Rovman Powell: "Guys were more commited today. Been a series where you win the toss, win the game, but the guys played well. We tried to tinker and see our best combination, maybe five bowlers is our best team at the moment - but sometimes you have to change it up. [Joseph] Very important, he's the spearhead of our attack. We need other bowlers to get close to his standard and keep improving as a bowling group. [Injuries] We don't have a lot [of options], Obed McCoy was back today. It's an opportunity for bowlers around the Caribbean. As I said, 3-2 is better than 4-1, still a lot to play for, hopefully St Lucia will come out and support us."

7.38pm: Handshakes for the winners, the series may have gone but pride was on the line for West Indies. In the end, another case of win the toss, win the game - but England gave it a good go, posting what was the highest T20I score on the ground. It was reeled in, largely thanks to a blistering opening stand of 136 in nine overs, and West Indies then rode the bumps along the way to complete the job with six balls to spare

Mousley to Rutherford, SIX, clattered... all the way over long-on! That could be the shot that seals the deal for West Indies. There was a shout of "catch!" but the man back wasn't in the game

Turner to Powell, OUT, hit on the back pad, up goes the finger! Powell will review, however. Has he hit it? UltraEdge says no... And ball-tracking returns three reds, hitting middle stump! Turner has his maiden T20I wicket. Nicely bowled, wobbling the seam and getting a full ball to nip back at Powell as he heaved across the line. England scrapping to the end
