England captain Liam Livingstone produced a stellar performance, scoring an unbeaten century to lead his team to a crucial victory over the West Indies in Antigua. The five-wicket win saw the series leveled at 1-1.

Facing a challenging target of 329, the tourists relied on Livingstone's explosive innings of 124 runs from 85 balls, including nine sixes. This effort compensated for England's precarious position at 160-4 after 28 overs.

Despite being required to score 100 runs from the final 10 overs, Livingstone, with support from Sam Curran who scored 52, ensured a successful chase, effectively dismantling the West Indies' bowling attack. The victory was sealed with 15 balls left, marking a notable series comeback.
