West Indies v England: Moeen Ali inspires England win to level series

Roy's 34-ball fifty at the top of the order set a platform from which his teammates could accelerate, James Vince chipped in with another elegant knock of 34 and Sam Billings hit two sixes from the last two balls to boost the tourists' total further.

England hammered 15 sixes in total and Moeen accounted for seven of them.

He was assisted by some inconsistent West Indies bowling — full deliveries sailed back over their heads, shorter ones were pulled ferociously into the stands.

But the fact that he was batting on a pitch that
