West Indies v England 5th Test at Trinidad
WI v ENG, 5th Test, Trinidad: West Indies clings to a draw, wins series (WI 1:0)
Mar 10, 2009
Denesh Ramdin and Fidel Edwards engineered a miraculous escape for the West Indies to earn a nail-biting draw on the last day of the fifth and final Test match.
England needed to win the Test to level the series 1-1, but the Windies hung on for a nail-biting draw, as England's bowlers failed to take the last two wickets. The day started with England chasing runs in order to give their bowlers a chance to bowl out the opposition. Captain Andrew Strauss declared at lunch on 237-6, after Kevin Pietersen had made 102.
The West Indies were given a target of 215 in two sessions to win - and after losing three wickets before tea - it became a question of whether England could take the remaining seven wickets they needed to win the match.
WI v ENG, 5th Test, Trinidad: West Indies 544 & 114-8 drew with England 546-6 & 237-6
