Michael Lumb and Alex Hales got England off to a flying start in the third and final Twenty20 international against West Indies at Barbados. 

After poor powerplays in the opening two matches, Lumb and Hales responded with a fifty partnership off just 24 balls.

Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes replaced Tim Bresnan, who is rested, and the injured Luke Wright.

West Indies make three alterations to their side with Chris Gayle rested, Samuel Badree injured and Ravi Rampaul dropped. Johnson Charles, the fit-again Sunil Narine and Sheldon Cottrell all play. 

England Innings

6.25pm - Lumb is playing Narine superbly, rocking onto the back foot and clubbing the spinner over midwicket for four. A superb powerplay from England brings 64 runs. 

6.20pm - Alex Hales takes successive boundaries off Santokie before Lumb also takes the attack to the Windies, hitting the seamer and Sunil Narine for six. A sliced four past backward point sees England race past 50 inside the fourth over. 

6.10pm - A superb over from England sees Lumb smash a quartet of fours off Sheldon Cottrell’s first set of six. This is the momentum they failed to acquire in the first two matches of the series. 

6.05pm - Michael Lumb edges just short of Darren Sammy at first slip before clipping Krishmar Santokie to the midwicket boundary to get England up and running. 

Pre-Play News 

6pm - Krishmar Santokie will bowl the first over. Lumb is on strike.

West Indies: Dwayne Smith, Johnson Charles, Marlon Samuels, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin, Darren Sammy, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Krishmar Santokie, Sheldon Cottrell.

5.40pm - England make two changes as Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes come in for Tim Bresnan, who is rested, and the injured Luke Wright. West Indies make three alterations to their side with Chris Gayle rested, Samuel Badree injured and Ravi Rampaul dropped. Johnson Charles, the fit-again Sunil Narine and Sheldon Cottrell all play. 

5.30pm - ENGLAND WIN THE TOSS AND BAT! - Stand-in skipper Eoin Morgan calls correctly and opts to bat first. 

5.25pm - With the series already beyond the tourists, Ashley Giles’ side will be hoping to use the final game in the Caribbean as a chance to end a five-match losing streak in this format and generate some momentum ahead of the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. 

5.15pm - Good afternoon and welcome to ecb.co.uk’s live text commentary of the third and final Twenty20 international between West Indies and England in Barbados.
