England will look to complete a series whitewash when they face the West Indies in the third T20 international at Southampton on Tuesday evening.

Harry Brook's side made a daunting victory target of 197 look relatively easy at Bristol on Sunday as they cruised to a four-wicket win with nine balls to spare.

It continued England's unbeaten start to the summer and they will be determined to remain that way going into the Test series against India.

West Indies will hope to salvage some pride before they take on Ireland in three T20 internationals later this month.

Team news

The make-up of England’s bowling attack may change in Southampton after leg-spinner Adil Rashid was left to bowl the penultimate over in Bristol and went for 31.

The addition of another seamer could mean Liam Dawson misses out, with Saqib Mahmood and Matthew Potts vying for a place alongside the undroppable Luke Wood, who took the Man of the Match award in Bristol.

England's batting line-up looks set in stone for the time being, with Jamie Smith pushed up the order to open in the absence of Phil Salt.

Jos Buttler has settled into the crucial number three role, with Brook coming in at four ahead of Jacob Bethell, Tom Banton and Will Jacks.

As for the West Indies, they will hope Andre Russell is fit after the all-rounder missed the second T20I with back spasms. 

Left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein’s encouraging display after overcoming visa issues gives Shai Hope the option of taking a quicker bowler out of the firing line if Russell returns.

The stats

Buttler now has more T20 international runs against the West Indies than any other team after his 47 in Bristol took the tally to 658 in 22 innings, 14 more than he has scored in 24 innings against India.

Overall, the former England captain is closing in on 13,000 runs in the format, with 90 50s and eight tons.

The West Indies have lost five of their last six T20 internationals against England.

Teams batting first have won eight of the 12 T20 internationals at the Rose Bowl, with England victorious on six occasions.

Prediction

England seem to have found the perfect balance to their batting line-up with Smith deputising for Salt at the top of the order.

The Surrey star's ability to hit sixes in the powerplay takes some of the pressure off Buttler when he comes in at three and the ex-skipper's recent form suggests he is relishing the subtle change in his role.

The Lancashire star now has a bit more time to build an innings, although he still possesses the ability to move through the gears when the situation demands it.

He has enjoyed particular success against the West Indies recently, top-scoring for England in three of the last five T20I matches between the teams.

Buttler also relishes playing at the Rose Bowl, where he boasts a career T20 international average of 58.75 across six innings.

That represents his highest T20I average at any ground where he has played five or more matches for England.
