West Indies v England, 4th ODI, Bridgetown

England 136 for 1 (Strauss 79*) beat West Indies 239 for 9 (Bravo 69, Mascarenhas 3-26) by nine wickets - D/L method

• Strauss seized on an unexpected opportunity to haul his side level in their ODI series against West Indies, with the decider still to come in St Lucia next week,as he defied his unglamorous reputation to crack 79 from just 61 balls in a rain-readjusted run-chase in Barbados.
• Strauss's scintillating display included nine fours, four of which came in consecutive deliveries from Lionel Baker, and their second six of the series off Darren Sammy, as England easily hunted down their 20-over target of 135, after West Indies had earlier posted a competitive 50-over total of 239 for 9.
