West Indies captain Chris Gayle wants to end a bad tour of England on a high note by beating England to a place in the World Twenty20 semi-finals.

After England defeated India to knock them out of the tournament, Monday's meeting with the West Indies in the Super Eights is now a straight shoot-out for a semi-final spot.

There is little time to celebrate for England after knocking out the reigning champions, India. With Lord's bathed in brilliant sunshine yesterday, a capacity crowd watched as England held out for a three-run victory, ensuring new champions will be crowned on June 21.

While India's bags are already packed, England will be hoping to send the West Indies packing in this evening's crucial decider. Can they do it? Time will tell.
