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

England won the fourth Twenty20 in Barbados with a remarkable all-round display from Moeen Ali.

England posted an imposing 193-6 as stand-in captain Moeen struck a brutal 63 from 28 balls.

The all-rounder took 2-28 in West Indies as the hosts fell 34 runs short.

The final game of the series will be played on Sunday at the same venue.

After losing the toss, England got off to a good start before Roy capitalized on some loose West Indies bowling.

Roy hit three sixes in his 52, a fine effort from the opener despite looking out of sorts.

The England batters were troubled by the bowling of both Holder and Pollard before the onslaught of Moeen's onslaught propelled them to their match-winning total.

In contrast to England, none of the West Indies players were able to post a significant score.

Moeen's magic inspires England

James Vince and Sam Billings hit two sixes from the last two balls to help the tourists reach a total of 236 for six.

The show was stolen from them all by the magnificence of Moeen.

The stylish left-handed player was a joy to watch, the highlight being four consecutive sixes from the third over of the England all-rounder.

England hit 15 sixes in total and seven of them were accounted for by Moeen.

He was helped by the inconsistent West Indies bowling, which flung full deliveries back over their heads and pulled shorter ones into the stands.

His effort was even more impressive because he was batting on a pitch that looked two-paced and offered some bounce.

As if a match-winning contribution with the bat wasn't enough, Moeen then went on to remove both West Indies openers with his off-spin, breaking the opening stand of 64 from Brandon King and Mayers.

Death overs prove the difference

The England batters scored 75 runs from their final five overs in the first half of the game.

They were too wide, too short or too full. Most of the damage was done by Moeen, who took 28 from the 17th over.

The hosts needed 75 from five overs to win the game.

The death bowling of England has been criticized by a former England bowler.

Chris Jordan executed his variations of yorkers and slower balls to perfection and halted any chance of a counter-attack, despite some monstrous sixes from Pooran and Holder in the middle overs.

It was a tremendous effort from the seamers to restrict the West Indies batting line-up, despite the fact that England's spinners took five of the six West Indies wickets to fall.

'The death bowling was fantastic' - reaction

I thought we were good in all areas. Today we were brilliant and we did well.

The death bowling was great and we will take confidence from that.

I think it was a game of two halves. We can look at things. The back end of England's game is where we let it go a bit.

It only takes one big hit. They got to 190 and we thought 170 was chaseable. We were a little slow in the middle of the game, but we didn't lose a lot of ground.
