West Indies secure series as England held to frustrating draw

ENGLAND could only draw the fifth and final Test against West Indies in Trinidad last night – handing their hosts a 1-0 series victory.

The islanders were set a victory target of 240 to win the match after England, led by Kevin Pietersen’s blistering 102, declared their second innings on 237 for two at lunch.

That never looked a likely prospect with the West Indies content to defend their series lead, and the tourists reduced them to 114 for eight before time was called on the Test.
