West Indies claimed a series victory over England after defeating the tourists by eight wickets in the third and final one-day international in Barbados.

Keacy Carty and Brandon King both scored impressive hundreds as West Indies cantered home in pursuit of 264 with seven overs to spare.

Sint Maarten batter Carty blitzed his way to his maiden international ton in 97 balls and stayed unbeaten on 128, while King made his third ODI century in 113 balls.

England’s 263-8 had looked reasonably healthy considering they crumbled to 24-4 in 10 overs.

Phil Salt’s watchful 74 dug them out of a hole with Sam Curran scoring 40 and Dan Mousley impressing with his maiden ODI half-century.

Jamie Overton added 32 while Jofra Archer remained unbeaten on 38 as England recovered to post a total which had looked challenging until the intervention of King and Carty.

With Jos Buttler returning as captain, England will hope to regroup as they prepare for a five-match T20 series, which begins at the same venue on Saturday. (BBC Sports)
