WI vs ENG Pitch Report: The England cricket team will return to St Lucia for the third T20I game against struggling West Indies on Thursday evening. England won the opening two games of the five-match series and are clear favourites to clinch the series win at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet.

Captain Jos Buttler smashed 83 runs off 45 balls to help the Three Lions chase down a 159-run target with seven wickets and 31 balls remaining in Bridgetown. England have won four of their last five T20I games against Rovman Powell's Caribbean side, including a dominant 8-wicket win at the same venue in the recent T20 World Cup 2024.
