Complete No result due to rain

The players make their way out to the middle. Here's Archer from round the wicket with two slips in place...
Pitch Report: We are back on pitch No. 4. The boundary dimensions - 63m square, 71m straight. Even though the straight boundary is longer, they are being cleared easily by the batters. Look forward to the dew factor settling in the second half. 
Teams:
West Indies (Playing XI): Evin Lewis, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran(w), Rovman Powell(c), Shimron Hetmyer, Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Alzarri Joseph, Akeal Hosein
Powell: It's a case of us following the same template today. IF you bat first, you got to bat really good. The guys are upbeat. We have one change. McCoy misses out, Romario Shepherd comes in. It's been five games, the bodies wear and tear, that is something we have to keep monitoring. It's important (to finish 3-2). The fans would hope that WI play good, We want to put smiles on their faces.
England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Will Jacks, Jos Buttler(c), Jacob Bethell, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, John Turner

Buttler: We are going to bowl again. Looks like a really good wicket. Two changes. Rashid and Jofra Archer come in. We had a high-scoring game yesterday, we'll try to learn from that. We did a pretty good job (with the ball), a couple of really big overs. Setting the tone with the ball today, we'll try to do a good job today.
England have won the toss and have opted to field
15:00 Local Time, 19:00 GMT, 00:30 IST: Win the toss, opt to bowl and successfully chase down the target. This has been the tale of this white-ball series. It's the final match of England's Caribbean tour. While West Indies won the ODI series 2-1, England sealed the T20I series with a couple of games remaining. The hosts managed to pick up a win yesterday which was a run-fest. England's 218 was hunted down by WI with an over to spare and we witnessed 32 sixes in total. It's the same venue again. Will there be some assistance for the bowlers today or will they continue to be cannon fodder? As this is a dead rubber, expect both teams to throw caution to the wind. Promises to be another enthralling contest. Stay tuned, toss and team news coming up shortly..
