West Indies vs. England, 1st ODI: Video Highlights, Scorecard and Report

West Indies beat England by 15 runs in the opening match of the one-day international series in Antigua.

The hosts recovered from a precarious position at 45-4 to make 269-6 in their 50 overs.

In their reply, England looked in a strong position as debutant opener Michael Lumb scored a century, but a middle order collapse saw them finish on 254-6.

Captain Dwayne Bravo—with an unbeaten 87—rescued the hosts alongside Lendl Simmons (65) and Darren Sammy (61), after the men from the Caribbean lost their top four in 16 overs.

The tourists took the unusual step of opening the bowling with the part-time spin of Joe Root, and he dismissed Kieran Powell for five. Meanwhile, more experienced slow-bowler James Treadwell removed Dwayne Smith, as he conceded just 23 from his 10 overs.

However Simmons and Bravo put on 108 for the fourth wicket before Test captain Sammy blasted four sixes in his 36-ball innings, sharing a 116-run partnership with ODI skipper Bravo.

Bravo's total came from just 91 balls as West Indies scored 157 in their last 15 overs including 85 off the last five.

England's reply started strongly with debutants Lumb and Moeen Ali—opening the order as replacements for Alastair Cook and Ian Bell—putting on 96 for the first wicket.

Ali went for 44 and Luke Wright followed soon after, but Lumb and Root put on 74 for the third wicket and the visitors were in control on 180-2 in the 37th over.

Nottinghamshire's Lumb had brought up his ton off 109 balls before slapping Ravi Rampaul to cover (after making 106), and that prompted a collapse.

Ben Stokes was bowled by Sunil Narine, then Root was caught behind off the same bowler for 37. When Jos Buttler departed, England had lost four wickets in six overs for 21 runs.

Ravi Bopara, playing in his 100th ODI, was left to guide the visitors home. But 59 was needed off the last seven overs, which became 37 from the last three and 22 off the final six balls.
