Duckett destroys West Indies' attack to earn England clean sweep
The Guardian

Harry Brook hit an unbeaten 35 off 22 balls, a quickfire cameo on a usual night, yet the slowest of England's offerings in this record-breaking contest.
Harry Brook hit an unbeaten 35 off 22 balls, a quickfire cameo on a usual night, yet the slowest of England's offerings in this record-breaking contest. His side piled up 248 for three, their second-highest total at home in this format, to set up a 37-run victory over West Indies in the third and final Twenty20 international.
Ben Duckett top-scored with 84 off 46 balls as he shared an opening stand of 120 with Jamie Smith, 135 brought up at the 10-over mark. The destruction calmed down a touch thereafter but West Indies were still invited to pull off their highest successful T20 chase. It never felt on, even as Evin Lewis whipped away a first-ball six.
England's spinners sent them down, West Indies - out of necessity - swung hard, landed a few right, but also delivered catching practice under lights. Rovman Powell provided respectability with 79 not out off 45, but the chase demanded something gargantuan. The visitors depart without a victory across six white-ball matches.
