HARRY Brook made it six wins from six as England’s new white-ball captain, completing a second successive series sweep over the West Indies with a 37-run T20 victory at the Utilita Bowl.

After dominating the ODI series 3-0, England matched that performance in the T20s, finishing with a commanding total of 248 for three, equalling the highest T20 score ever recorded on English soil.

The foundation was laid by a breathtaking opening stand of 120 between Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith in just 8.5 overs.

Duckett led the charge with a dazzling 84 from 39 balls, showcasing his full range of inventive shots. He skipped around the crease, reverse-swept, and dispatched short deliveries with ease, reaching his half-century in just 20 balls.

Smith, opening in place of Phil Salt, also impressed with a rapid 60 off 26 balls. He bludgeoned three sixes in four balls off Romario Shepherd and brought up his maiden T20 fifty for England.

His knock ended when he was caught on the boundary off Gudakesh Motie. Jos Buttler, the series’ leading run-scorer, made an immediate impact with a towering six before falling for 11.

Duckett was eventually bowled by Akeal Hosein just short of a well-deserved century. Brook (35 not out) finished the innings with a flourish, hitting eight runs from the final two balls, while Jacob Bethell added an electrifying 36* from 16 balls, including three consecutive sixes off Motie.

Chasing 249, the West Indies never truly threatened. Openers Evin Lewis and Johnson Charles fell cheaply to Luke Wood and Liam Dawson.

Shimron Hetmyer hit three big sixes before perishing going for a fourth, while Shai Hope fought with a gritty 45 before being dismissed by Brydon Carse.

Rovman Powell played a lone hand with a defiant 79* off 39 balls, but the required rate was always out of reach. Adil Rashid spun out Rutherford and Shepherd cheaply, and Wood returned to finish with three wickets.

The 3-0 win capped an emphatic start to Brook’s captaincy, underlining England’s depth and firepower in limited-overs cricket.
