Same again for England

England have named an unchanged team as they chase an historic series win in Friday's weather-hit final one-day international against West Indies.

The tourists were able to name the same line-up who triumphed in Barbados last Sunday to tie the series at 2-2 and set up today's decider at the Beausejour Stadium.

Kevin Pietersen (back spasm) and Andrew Flintoff (left thumb) both recovered from injuries sustained in that match and take their place in the side as England chase their first one-day series win in the Caribbean.

But after heavy showers all morning in St Lucia, the match was delayed with match officials due to inspect the surface again at 1.00pm local time (6.00pm BST) to determine whether the outfield was dry enough to begin a reduced overs match.
