Date-stamped : 07 Mar94 - 03:00 Eng v WI, ODI5, Trinidad, 6 Mar 94 England regained some pride by winning the final game of the series but they made hard work of it before claiming victory. Rain reduced their target to 201 after 84 by Phil Simmons and good bowling by Ian Salisbury and Chris Lewis saw West Indies make 250-9. Alec Stewart hit a whirlwind 53 out of a total of 62 and Mike Atherton with 51 kept the scoreboard moving. But England lost their usual flurry of quick wickets before Graeme Hick with 47 not out and Lewis saw them home with a wide sealing it. England captain Mike Atherton was full of smiles after his side had earned a morale boosting victory. "It certainly beats losing," he said afterwards. We played well. He added: "I thought Chris Lewis was outstanding with the ball while Ian Salisbury caused problems and took wickets which was vital." Man of the match Alec Stewart said:"It's better late than never and it was a good win. We were outplayed in earlier games but we worked hard and got it right today." 1st match: Bridgetown Barbados England won by 61 runs 2nd match: Kingston Jamaica WI won on faster rate 3rd match: Arnos Vale St Vincent WI won by 165 runs 4th match: Port of Spain Trinidad WI won on faster rate 5th match: Port of Spain Trinidad Eng won on faster rate West Indies won series 3-2 Contributed by The Management (help@cricinfo.com) ====> MORE Half centuries from captain Mike Atherton and Alec Stewart and more rain helped give England a morale boosting five-wicket vic- tory over the West Indies in the fifth and final one-day interna- tional on Sunday. The West Indies reached a challenging 250 for nine from their 50 overs after winning the toss and batting, but rain three overs into in the England innings forced a revision of the target to 201 in 40 overs. England swept to 201-5 in just 36.4 overs to restore some pride ahead of the second test later this month, although they have lost the one-day series 3-2. They got a flying start from man-of-the-match Stewart who struck 53 off just 38 balls with nine fours and a six. He put on 62 in 12 overs with Atherton for the first wicket, of which the latter's contribution was a mere six runs. Stewart was particu- larly severe on fast-bowler Anderson Cummins, striking him for 15 in one over, but Cummins had the last laugh, bowling him as he attempted to swing through the onside. Cummins also removed Robin Smith for four but Atherton found a steady partner in Graeme Hick and the pair added 68 for the third wicket. Atherton's 51 took 79 balls, but when he was bowled by Ken Benjamin at 151 he had already taken England within sight of victory. The visitors had a minor scare when they lost Matthew Maynard (1) and Mark Ramprakash (10) but Hick (47 not out) and all- rounder Chris Lewis (16 not out) stayed together to add the 27 needed to win the match. Earlier, opener Phil Simmons struck an exciting 84 to guide the West Indies to a challenging 250. Simmons, whose selection for the second test match has been in doubt, had a new opening partner as the West Indies rested veteran Desmond Haynes after his match-winning century on Saturday. They promoted Jamaican Jimmy Adams, one of the players touted as a possible replacement for Simmons, to opener. Adams, despite sharing a partnership of 89 with Simmons, played second fiddle for most of his stay and was out for 23. A mid-innings slump was halted by a rapid 66-run partnership between Roger Harper who made 37 from 33 balls and Roland Holder whose 26 came off just 16 balls. The pair launched a vicious at- tack on the English bowlers and with the pressure on the fielding became ragged. Three catches were dropped and there were a series of fumbles. But Chris Lewis turned in an improved performance with four for 35 while leg spinner Ian Salisbury ended with three for 41. Rain interrupted play in the third over of the England innings with the score on three for none and the likelihood of a reduced tar- get. Contributed by Chico Khan (ckhan@*.com)
