West Indies v England: fifth and final men’s Twenty20 – live!

LIVE – Updated at 19:41

Will West Indies or England prevail in the fifth and final Twenty20 international at Kensington Oval? Tanya Aldred has the latest.

The teams are playing on the same pitch they used for the third game - the one when Rovman Powell pingoed the ball all over the place. Mark Butcher doesn’t expect as many runs today, but says it still looks tasty for batting.

West Indies XI: Mayers, King, Pooran, Powell, Pollard, Holder, Allen, Shepherd, Smith, Hosien, Cottrell (Two changes: Fabian Allen and Odean Smith replace Darren Bravo and Dominic Drakes)

England XI: Roy, Banton, Vince, Moeen Ali, Livingstone, Billings, Salt, Jordan, Rashid, Mahmood, Topley (One change: Saqib Mahmood for Tymal Mills)

A team chooses to bat first for the first time this series.

Hello! And welcome to the last match in this T20 series of five games. Just to prove the naysayers wrong, those who pondered whether the whole caboodle was an example of excessive and pointless cricket (ahem), the series has built itself up into a tasty crescendo: two wins apiece and down to the wire.

To remind you of the results so far: a shellacking - West Indies win by 9 wickets, a seat-of-your-pantsing - England win by one run, a Powelling - West Indies win by 20 runs, and a stroll - England win by 34 runs.

England’s stand-in captain Moeen Ali played a dream match in the last game with fifty and a couple of wickets - he’d be very happy to bring the series home for Eoin Morgan (on the bench with a thigh injury). So too would West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard, who came to the series on the back of ODI defeat to Ireland.

The weather looks peachy, so play should starts at 8pm GMT (3pm local time). I’ll be back around 7.35 with news of the toos ‘n’ teams.
