BBC Online :

A spectacular maiden One Day International (ODI) century from stand-in Captain Liam Livingstone helped England to defeat West Indies (WI) by five wickets and take the three-match series to a decider on Saturday.
Chasing a formidable 329 to win in Antigua, Livingstone’s 124 from 85 balls took the tourists home with 15 balls to spare.
Phil Salt and Jacob Bethell had hit half-centuries before their captain and Sam Curran put on a resilient fifth-wicket partnership that left England needing 100 runs from the last 10 overs.
Livingstone brought up his fifty in 60 balls before accelerating to bring up three figures just 17 balls later.
Earlier, Windies captain Shai Hope had scored 117 from 127 balls to help the hosts rebuild after losing both openers early.
