(AFP)\u2014 West\u00a0Indies\u00a0captain Kieron Pollard top-scored with 41 not out as the hosts made 179 for four against England in Sunday\u2019s fifth and deciding Twenty20 international in Barbados.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

England spinners Adil Rashid, Liam Livingstone and captain Moeen Ali returned combined figures of four for 54 at the Kensington Oval, with the series all square at 2-2.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

But the pacemen were hit round the ground.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

West\u00a0Indies\u00a0openers Brandon King (34) and Kyle Mayers (31) shared a stand of 59 before the run-rate slowed during the middle overs.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Pollard and Rovman Powell, a century-maker in midweek, upped the tempo in an unbroken stand of 75 that included 66 off the last 24 balls.<\/p>\n

Pollard faced 25 balls while Powell smashed four sixes in a 35 not out made from 17 balls.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

England recalled Saqib Mahmood in place of left-armer Tymal Mills only for the paceman\u2019s first ball to be hit straight back over his head for six by King.<\/p>\n

After wicketkeeper Sam Billings missed a chance to stump King off Moeen, leg-spinner Rashid made the breakthrough via a brilliant relay catch. Jason Roy clung on to a head high chance near the deep midwicket rope and under armed the ball to Phil Salt before falling over the boundary.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Livingstone removed both Romario Shepherd and King in a return of two for 17. \u00a0A googly from Rashid, who also took 2-17 but in four overs to his team-mate\u2019s three, accounted for Nicholas Pooran.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Then came the charge to leave England needing a challenging 180 for victory.<\/p>\n
