And with that, we wrap up from Hyderabad! Another high-scoring chase here, headlined by West Indies' tenacity: the Shai Hope century and Keemo Paul five-fors were both too good for India to counter today. For now, it is goodbye from me - Abhijato - as well as Abhimanyu and Vairavan. See you soon for the decider in Bengaluru!

11.20pm Time for the post-match presentation now!

Shreyas Iyer: "We didn't execute our lines and lengths well. Chasing 250, you have to go in a certain power, I liked our approach chasing, unfortunate we didn't execute plans bowling, that's where we fell short... We were still going 12 an over at that point [in the PP], a bit to offer from the wicket, they used the field well, credit where it's due, execution was spot on. Holding more and some bounce as well, their bowlers realised as well, especially in the middle overs... The fifth one will be an interesting one. [On the surface] getting 220 when we were chasing, you could see the approach and attitude of every individual... Going forward we have to have good execution and mindset."

Player of the Match and WI captain, Shai Hope, speaks now: "To be honest, we got luggage weight... Will be going back home with all those Player of the Match awards. Trying to give the team the best chance, 50-plus opening partnership was good. When we've got that good partnership, we can give team best chase possibly. Surface was holding more than we thought. Initially, we thought pitch will come on better. Two-paced to start and spinners and grippers at the back-end, more difficult to hit at the back-end. [On Motie] Tough to give bowlers three in a row, conditions sometimes make it tough, but you have to make a decision... Again, a good cricket game, played good cricket in all phases, good chance to win the series in Bangalore."

Keemo Paul speaks to the broadcasters: "It feels great. We got the win, I'm very, very happy. Obviously we have a simple plan: try and nail the yorkers, and if it doesn't work, go in for the wicket. Slower balls were gripping tonight. Simple plan and it worked. I just want to contribute to the team. We are up for a fight in this T20I [series]... You have to back yourself and see it as a challenge. Motie came in when there were two set bowlers, bowled superbly. Team is a confident bunch, we back our skills, it's just about staying calm..."

11pm Keemo Paul headlines a superb bowling effort from West Indies. Only the second time in this series that a team has defended a total across the three ODIs and these four T20Is. And this also means that 2-2 is the scoreline: West Indies will take world champions India into a deciding contest. But it was really the man of the hour, Shai Hope, who scored his second hundred in just this series, and who pushed the total up to 247 - a bridge too far for India today.

Arshdeep down at the crease once more, clutching his left shoulder. The umpire approaches him, probably telling him he can walk off! No way you can get 25 off 3. Shreyas Iyer raises his hand and maybe is sending the same message as well... And guess what, Arshdeep walks off, retired hurt, which means Mayank has run out of partners. Not that it matters! WI all but sealed this game a couple of overs ago, because of Shamar Springer's efforts, and then Keemo Paul sealed his five-for.

Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, 5 wides, Bowler follows him, feisty bouncer! Arshdeep backs away once more, Joseph does not aim at the stumps but aims at the batter, ball is too short and too wide and flying down to deep fine leg

Arshdeep Singh retired hurt 5 (8m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125

He seems to be in a lot of pain but is staying on, for now... Yeah, okay now.

Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, no run, Now he's hurt his hand here! Backs away once again, the ball thuds into his shoulder it looks like and dribbles out towards point... He is fine-ish but it's obviously hurting, he is down on the crease, then gets back up, as the physio comes out to look at him

Sampath lets us know Keemo Paul is the first West Indies bowler to take multiple five-fors in men's T20Is.

Joseph to Arshdeep Singh, FOUR, Slices this down to the deep backward point! Makes room by sliding down leg and he looks to inside-out loft this... But the top edge flies over the in-fielders down to the ropes, a consolation four this
