English national pride was upheld in the end… just. Trinidad needed ten from the last over, and when Samuel Badree deftly flicked Steve Harmison's fourth ball to the fine-leg boundary an upset looked likely. But with three runs wanted off the last ball - and a "super over" bowl-out lying in wait if two were scored - Ravi Rampaul managed only a single to third man. England's selection had been hampered by a stomach bug which reduced them to 11 fit men.
