Duckett hits 84 off 46 balls in 120-run opening stand
Harry Brook hit an unbeaten 35 off 22 balls, a quickfire cameo on a usual night, yet the slowest of England’s offerings in this record-breaking contest. His side piled up 248 for three, their highest total at home in this format, to set up a 37-run victory over West Indies in the third and final Twenty20 international.
Ben Duckett top-scored with 84 off 46 balls as he shared a rollicking opening stand of 120 with Jamie Smith, 135 brought up at the 10-over mark. The destruction calmed down a touch thereafter but West Indies were still invited to pull off their highest successful T20 chase. It never felt on even as Evin Lewis whipped away a first-ball six. Rovman Powell provided respectability with 79 not out off 45, but the reply demanded something gargantuan. The visitors depart without a victory across six white-ball matches.
