West Indies opt to chase, bring in Drakes and Mayers

West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first vs England

West Indies will bowl first in the fourth T20I against England at Kensington Oval in Barbados, as they look to seal a series win with a game to spare.

They have made two changes to their side from the third T20I, with Dominic Drakes and Kyle Mayers - both Barbados natives - replacing Fabian Allen and Shai Hope. Nicholas Pooran will take the gloves.

"We've got a big squad here but it's not a matter of just chopping and changing for change's sake. Mayers gets an opportunity at the top of the order - let's see if he can take the initiative once he gets in. And young Drakes with his height, his bounce - he's a local lad and knows the conditions pretty well."

England, who will be captained by Moeen Ali again with Eoin Morgan absent through injury, have brought Sam Billings and Chris Jordan back into their side, replacing Harry Brook and George Garton who made debuts on Wednesday night.

The pitch from Sunday's second T20I is being re-used and looks dry. One boundary is significantly shorter than the other, and there was a strong breeze blowing across the ground at the toss.

West Indies: 1 Kyle Mayers, 2 Brandon King, 3 Nicholas Pooran, 4 Rovman Powell, 5 Darren Bravo, 6 Kieron Pollard (captain), 7 Jason Holder, 8 Romario Shepherd, 9 Dominic Drakes, 10 Akeal Hosein, 11 Sheldon Cottrell

England: 1 Jason Roy, 2 Tom Banton, 3 James Vince, 4 Moeen Ali (captain), 5 Liam Livingstone, 6 Sam Billings (wk), 7 Phil Salt, 8 Chris Jordan, 9 Adil Rashid, 10 Reece Topley, 11 Tymal Mills
