The Windies first posted 267, with all-rounder Dominic Cork picking up four wickets, before bowling England out for 134.

But in the second innings, England turned the tables and shot West Indies out for a paltry 54 with just wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs reaching double figures as fast bowler Andy Caddick (5-16) led the way with the ball, Cork snaring three as well.

Chasing a target of 188, the hosts were in deep trouble at 160-8.

It was up to Cork to shine with the bat as he hit Franklyn Rose for a six and then hit the winning four during his 33-run knock to seal a two-wicket win.
