West v Indies v England: Jason Holder's four wickets in four balls completes series win

The West Indies won the Twenty20 series against England thanks to a four-ball spell of four for four by Jason Holder.

With England needing 20 from the last over, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid were caught on the leg side, and then Saqib Mahmood was also caught.

The West Indies overcame being subdued by England's spinners to take advantage of some poor death bowling.

Rovman Powell hit 35 not out from 17 balls and captain Kieron Pollard hit 41.

James Vince looked to be carrying England in the chase, but top-edged Akeal Hosein to the mid-wicket boundary for 55.

Left-arm spinner Hosein took a career-best 4-30 as England was reduced to 119-6.

Sam Billings kept them afloat with 41, only for the tourists to be skittled out for 162, thanks to a five-over spell from Holder.

England will play a three-Test series in the Caribbean in March, with a squad to be named in the coming weeks.

Changes to the management of the England men's teams could be in the offing after the director of cricket submits a report on the debacle in Australia.

Holder humbles inexperienced England

While England ultimately lost this game by unraveling at the end of West Indies'innings, former captain Holder's achievement in becoming only the fourth man to take four in four balls in a T20 international, on his home ground, was exciting.

England's batters got stuck in the chase, a middle-order collapse to Hosein typical of a series when none of the second-string batters made a compelling case to oust any of the first-choice players missing after taking part in the Ashes.

In his second T20 half-century, Vince added 46 with Moeen Ali, who never matched his 63 in Saturday's fourth match with just 14 from 19 balls.

After the England skipper miscued to give Holder his first wickets, Hosein removed Liam Livingstone, Vince and Phil Salt.

England needed 48 from the final three overs, but only for Billings and Jordan to take 20 off the 18th, giving the tourists hope.

Even if he did start with a no-ball, the difference was that both teams had 160 going into their final over.

The man who conceded 19 from the West Indies final set skied to the leg-side fence with the other two.

There was no one inside the Oval who saw that Mahmood had hit his leg stump. It sparked celebrations when they did.

Windies' innings of three thirds

The West Indies was curious because of the disparity in quality between England's pace and spin bowling.

The hosts motored in the powerplay, meandered in the middle overs, then surged at the end. They took 58 from the first six overs, 47 from the next nine and 74 from the final five.

The early charge was led by Kyle Mayers, who whipped almost all of his 31 through the leg side. He was cut off by a wonderful relay catch on the boundary, which was made possible by the nonchalantly offloading from deep mid-century to long-on Salt by Roy.

In the period of nine overs where only one was delivered by a pace bowler, England shared four of their four scalps between the leg-spinners.

At one point, West Indies went 42 balls between boundaries, with Powell coming in at number six, but he did not arrive until the 15th over.

He hit four sixes from a low stance when England returned to pace at the death, with Pollard following in his slipstream.

England's spin trio returned 4-54 from 10 overs, while their pace counterparts only yielded 122 runs from the same amount.
