West Indies v England 1st ODI at Guyana
WI v ENG, 1st ODI, Guyana: England beat West Indies by one run (ENG 1:0)
Mar 20, 2009
West Indies handed England a victory by 1 run on the Duckworth/Lewis method after a miscalculation by coach John Dyson at the end of an absorbing first ODI on Friday.
The home team, advised by Dyson, took an offer of bad light from the umpires at 244-7 off 46.2 overs as it chased England's 270-7 off 50 overs. At that stage, England was ahead by one run on the complicated Duckworth/Lewis calculation to decide interrupted matches.
Earlier, England's total was built around half centuries from Paul Collingwood (69) and Owais Shah (62).
Pollard claimed 2-46 with his medium pace while Bravo took 2-65. The second match of the series is at the same venue on Sunday.
WI v ENG, 1st ODI, Guyana: England 270-7 (50.0 overs) beat West Indies 244-7 (46.2 overs) by 1 run (D/L)
