Updates from St Lucia; match starts at 8pm GMTLive scorecard will appear here | Email Tim
Evening everyone and welcome to the fifth act of another sporting drama. Some might say it was a dead rubber, but they would be missing the point. In a sport that loves its records the way cricket does, rubbers never die. Any of the 22 players could post a career-best tonight, score a hundred, grab a four-for or do something that hasn’t been done before in nearly 20 years of T20 internationals.
And, as we saw last night, the competitive juices will still flow. England could go home glowing with satisfaction after a resounding 4-1 win, or lose again and leave West Indies on a roll. It’s not all to play for, but there’s still enough: pride, a place in the team, and of course entertainment – the chance to fire up new fans or put a smile on the faces of the older ones.
