West Indies v England 4th Test at Barbados
WI v ENG, 4th Test, Barbados: Cook hits century to guide England to draw (WI 1:0)
03 Mar, 2009
Opener Alastair Cook cracked a career-best 139 not out Monday as the fourth cricket Test between England and the West Indies fizzled out to a tame draw on the fifth and final day at Kensington Oval.
Left-hander Cook notched his eighth Test century and Kevin Pietersen added an unfussed 72 not out as the visitors comfortably saw off the West Indies' pursuit of a series-clinching victory. The home team carries a 1-0 lead into the fifth and final Test in Trinidad beginning Friday.
England coasted to 279-2 before captain Andrew Strauss' declaration ended a match in which a total of 1,628 runs were scored for the loss of just 17 wickets. Strauss admitted that the conditions made an outright result difficult.
WI v ENG, 4th Test, Barbados: West Indies 749-9 drew with England 600-6 & 279-2
