England hit record -sixes against Windies

England captain Eoin Morgan says his team were "fortunate" to defeat West Indies at St George's in Grenada after a Chris Gayle-inspired home side nearly did the unthinkable and almost chased down England's mammoth target of 418 in the fourth One-Day International.

Centuries from Morgan and Jos Buttler had guided the tourists to the highest ever score against West Indies in an ODI in the Caribbean and restated England's credentials as the most destructive batting order in the world after a blip in game two in Barbados. It was an effort which looked to have put the game beyond West Indies but Gayle's brilliant 162 looked at one stage as if it would lead the home side to a remarkable victory. In the end, West Indies fell just 29 runs short as Adil Rashid took their last four wickets in the 48th over.

England blasted a world record 24 sixes in the fourth One-Day International against the West Indies at Grenada´s National Stadium on Wednesday.

Jos Buttler had the honour of smashing the record 24th six over deep midwicket in the last over, bringing up his 150 in the process.

West Indies had set the previous record of 23 sixes in an innings just seven days ago in the first match between the two sides in Bridgetown.

England eventally totalled 418 for six after being put into bat.
