      <title>All-round Moeen stars as England level Windies T20 series
</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stand-in skipper Moeen Ali starred with bat and ball as England beat the West Indies by 34 runs in the fourth Twenty20 international in Bridgetown to set up a series decider on Sunday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moeen, leading England in place of the injured Eoin Morgan, struck seven sixes, including four in a row off Jason Holder, during a 63 made from just 28 balls as England posted a total of 193 for six on Saturday&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The off-spinner then took two for 28 runs during the West Indies' 159 for five as England levelled the five-match series at 2-2 ahead of the teams' return to the Kensington Oval.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;England's bowling in the latter stages of matches earlier in this series had proved expensive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But with the West Indies needing 61 off the final four overs, Chris Jordan -- recalled after England's defeat on Wednesday -- and Reece Topley held their nerve.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;'Fantastic'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"I thought we were good in all areas," said player of the match Moeen as he highlighted England's bowling late on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"That's the thing we're really proud about tonight, the 'death bowling' was fantastic," Moeen said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As for his own form, he added: "I got some momentum with my batting. I was happy to contribute for the team."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Both Moeen and West Indies captain Kieron Pollard were full of praise for England leg-spinner Adil Rashid, who checked the hosts' run chase with 1-28.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"We screwed up in the middle of our innings, not losing wickets but being a little slow," said Pollard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"Adil Rashid bowled exceptionally well again, as he has in this series, with his variations and tomorrow will be an even game."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Earlier, England opener Jason Roy, dropped on three, made 52 off 42 balls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tourists were 80 for one off nine overs before Pollard slowed the run-rate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But Moeen revived the innings, as England added 59 in the last three overs after James Vince had made 34.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Moeen took England past three figures when he swept Akeal Hosein for four and fired England past 150 with four successive sixes off Holder.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The West Indies raced to 56 without loss in six overs, Kyle Mayers marking his first match of the series with some blazing hitting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But Rashid slowed the run-rate before Moeen had Mayers (40) and Brandon King (26) caught in the deep.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rashid then removed Rovman Powell, fresh from a hundred on Wednesday, for just five.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;West Indies were now 78 for three but some big-hitting from Nicholas Pooran and Holder kept the hosts in the game.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But Barbados-born Jordan, whose recent late-innings bowling has been much criticised, conceded just seven runs in the 17th over before taking the catch on the boundary that saw Holder dismissed.&lt;/p&gt;
