West Indies survive to win series

The West Indies endured nervous moments to cling on for a series-clinching draw against England with eight wickets down on the last day of the fifth and final Test at the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. The home team, set a target of 240 to win off 66 overs, preferred to defend and just avoided defeat at 114-8. The West Indies won the five-match series 1-0 and regained the Wisden Trophy for the first time since 2000. The series victory was the West Indies' first against any opponent since June 2004 when they defeated Bangladesh at home.
