West Indies, inspired by a masterful Shivnarine Chanderpaul century, won the second one-day international against England at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana yesterday to level the series at 1-1.
Chanderpaul hit 112 not out and Ramnaresh Sarwan scored 74 to lead West Indies to 264 for eight.
Needing 265 to win, England were bowled out for 243 with 10 balls left with captain Andrew Strauss making 105 before he was bowled by Kieron Pollard in the 47th over.
Pollard and Dwayne Bravo took two wickets each for the West Indies.
James Anderson, three for 37, and Paul Collingwood three for 49, were the most successful bowers for the visitors.
The teams will now travel to Barbados for the next two games on Friday and Sunday at Kensington Oval. The final match will take place at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St Lucia on April 3.
