West Indies lost the opening one-day international against England by one run via the Duckworth/Lewis method at the Providence National Stadium in Guyana.
With West Indies 244 for seven under fading lights coach John Dyson called the players off the field believing the team was ahead on the Duckworth/Lewis method.
However, further calculation revealed England had won.
Earlier, Paul Collingwood and Owais Shah hit half centuries to take England to 270 for 7.
Collingwood struck six fours to top-score with 69 off 77 balls, while Shah compiled 62 off 86 balls with five boundaries.
