England have the chance to win their T20 series against the West Indies this Thursday as they head to Saint Lucia with a 2-0 lead. 

After losing the ODI series at the start of their tour, Jos Buttler’s side have turned things around in the T20s, winning back-to-back matches.

On Sunday, a Buttler masterclass meant England cruised to a seven-wicket victory and to within one win of overall glory.

That result followed another dominant win in the First T20 where opener Phil Salt’s century led his country to a commanding success. 

If they do claim victory against the West Indies again this week, it will end a run of five consecutive defeats across all international cricket formats in the Caribbean.

West Indies vs England: What has been said? 

Speaking after starring in the Second T20 at the weekend, Buttler said: “It is great to spend time in the middle.

“I was a bit scratchy for the first few balls but I managed to come through that period and really enjoyed it. It was great to be back out there.
