Stand-in skipper Moeen Ali starred with bat and ball as England beat West Indies by 34 runs in the fourth T20I here to set up a series decider on Sunday. Moeen, leading England in place of the injured Eoin Morgan, struck seven sixes, including four in a row off Jason Holder, during a 63 made from just 28 balls as England posted a total of 193 for six on Saturday.

The off-spinner then took two for 28 runs during the West Indies' 159 for five as England levelled the five-match series at 2-2 ahead of the teams' return to the Kensington Oval. England's bowling in the latter stages of matches earlier in this series had proved expensive. But with the West Indies needing 61 off the final four overs, Chris Jordan - recalled after England's defeat on Wednesday - and Reece Topley held their nerve.
