OUT! Bowled. Oshane Thomas to Tom Curran. Yorker, off stump backing away driving, missed to. It's all over, Thomas gets mobbed by his teammates as he bags his maiden ODI five wicket haul. A superb effort by the big fast bowler. Curran had decided to try and give himself some room but it looks a bit reckless now with off stump flattened on the ground. Unbelievable scenes, England all out for just 113 in just 28.1 overs so we'll have a quick change of innings before the dinner break.
This series continues to spring surprises on us. We saw bat completely dominate ball so effortlessly just a few days ago, but this St Lucia surface is a different proposition. Pace, bounce and a little bit of nip gave encouragement to the fast men and the Windies bowlers used it all perfectly. Oshane Thomas was hostile and accurate, picking up a maiden ODI five wicket haul to demolish the tourists and leave the hosts needing 114 to square the series.
OUT! Caught. Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Short, outside off stump on the back foot defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Hope. Edged and gone, the collapse continues at Gros Islet. This is too hot for Rashid to handle, rearing from the deck through at throat height and kissing the edge of the tame prod. What a change from the ODI we witnessed a few days ago, this surface is a paradise for the fast bowlers and the Windies are making full use of it.
Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot working, thick edge to silly point for no runs, fielded by Campbell.
APPEAL! Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Short, outside off stump on the back foot Fended, hit body to wicketkeeper for no runs, by Hope, appeal made for Caught. Half an appeal but they quickly realise that there was no bat or glove involved.
Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot, shoulders arms to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Hope.
Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to backward point for no runs, fielded by Hetmyer.
Jason Holder to Adil Rashid. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Bravo.
Oshane Thomas to Tom Curran. Short, outside off stump ducked, Left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Hope.
OUT! Caught. Oshane Thomas to Jos Buttler. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg, by Cottrell. Another one, the big Jamaican is on a roll in St Lucia and England being demolished. Thomas has four wickets in an ODI for the first time in his career, an outstanding performance to utilise helpful conditions. Buttler won't be happy with his shot, half-heartedly sending the ball soaring into the hands of Cottrell in the deep. Massive celebrations, Windies are cock-a-hoop.
Oshane Thomas to Jos Buttler. Length ball, off stump on the front foot working, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Brathwaite.
OUT! Caught. Oshane Thomas to Chris Woakes. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, by Brathwaite. The procession continues, England just can't handle the hostility of the bowling at the moment. Woakes never really looked comfortable at the crease and he's ended up playing a pretty atrocious stroke. Pace like fire from Thomas, rolling back the years to bring back memories of the West Indian legends of the past. England in tatters.
Oshane Thomas to Chris Woakes. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to silly mid on for no runs, fielded by Brathwaite.
Oshane Thomas to Chris Woakes. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, to backward point for no runs, fielded by Bishoo.

Oshane Thomas to Chris Woakes. Short, outside off stump on the back foot defending, to silly point for no runs, fielded by Hetmyer.
OUT! Caught. Oshane Thomas to Moeen Ali. Back of a length, off stump on the back foot driving, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Hope. Excellent bowling change by Holder, bringing Thomas back to elicit a tame waft from Moeen. He went at it with hard hands and an angled blade, always frought with danger on a track offering bounce like this. England's batsmen haven't assessed conditions quickly enough today and it's left them in a precarious position. Take nothing away from the hosts though, their fast men have been relentless in hitting the right areas.
Oshane Thomas to Moeen Ali. Short, to leg on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Hope.

Ashley Nurse to Moeen Ali. Off break half volley, off stump on the front foot driving, inside edge to mid wicket for no runs, fielded by Holder.
FOUR! Ashley Nurse to Moeen Ali. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. Moeen senses that the spinners will be easier to score off than the seamers so takes the aggressive option here. Wristily swiped over the legside, there's plenty of gaps out there so it's a safe shot.
Ashley Nurse to Moeen Ali. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to short extra cover for no runs, fielded by Brathwaite.

FOUR! Tom Curran to Shimron Hetmyer. Slower ball half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs.
Windies have completely annihilated England in St Lucia to draw the ODI series 2-2, coasting to their target with seven wickets left and a massive 227 balls remaining. The match was set up by the fast bowlers who utilised a bouncy surface expertly, with fast and hostile spells making life really difficult for the English batsmen. Oshane Thomas was the star, picking up his maiden five wicket haul in ODIs as the tourists were bundled out for just 113 in 28.1 overs. Amazingly, that meant England went from their highest total against the Windies in ODIs to their lowest in the space of three days. In response, Chris Gayle came out all guns blazing in his final ODI appearance in the Caribbean. He blasted the fastest ever half century by a West Indian in an ODI, taking just 19 deliveries to reach the landmark, as the party started to get rowdy in the afternoon Gros Islet sun. In the end we didn't even need the dinner break as the hosts cruised to 115/3 from just 12.1 overs, meaning there were just about 40 overs in the match.
No one would have given the Windies much chance in this series a couple of weeks ago but they have exceeded all expectations, continuing the momentum from the Test series to boost their hopes ahead of the upcoming World Cup. England have plenty to ponder, however they know that they will be much stronger in the familiar conditions of home come May. After a dramatic Test series, the ODI series has been equally absorbing with some incredible performances. The good news is that there is plenty more to come from these two exciting sides because the T20I series starts in St Lucia on Tuesday night.

FOUR! Mark Wood to Shimron Hetmyer. Off cutter length ball, down leg side backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past deep cover for 4 runs. Hetmyer gets his front leg out of the way and then slices this with a flourish over cover. Brilliant batting.

OUT! Bowled. Chris Woakes to Shai Hope. Slower length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, missed to. That's an ugly heave, Hope was trying to take a leaf out of Gayle's book but there can only be one universe boss. Woakes got his slower ball to move away in the air slightly which was enough to take it past the outside edge and clip off stump. Subdued celebrations from England.
Chris Woakes to Shai Hope. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, hit body to second slip for no runs, fielded by Root.

OUT! Bowled. Mark Wood to Chris Gayle. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump backing away pulling, missed to. Deceived by the slower ball, Wood gets his revenge but it's too little too late for the English. Gayle leaves the field for the last time in an ODI in the Caribbean and he receives a fantastic ovasion. What a legend he has been over the years for the Windies and what a way to sign off on home soil.
SIX! Mark Wood to Chris Gayle. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. Boom, that's a colossal blow for yet another maximum. Gayle must have some plans for this afternoon because he clearly wants to get this over and done with.
FOUR! Mark Wood to Chris Gayle. Full toss, down leg side backing away working, inside edge past fine leg for 4 runs. Not exactly where he wanted it to go but fortune favours the brave.
