ST JOHN’S (Antigua), Oct 29: England beat Trinidad and Tobago by one run when Ravi Rampaul was run out going for a second run on the last ball of their Stanford Twenty20 Super Series match on Tuesday.

England made 141-6 and Trinidad 140-9 in the warm-up for England’s clash with the Stanford Superstars – a West Indies all-star side – for $20 million on Saturday.

Trinidad threatened England’s total only after late fireworks from Denesh Ramdin, who hit 37 off 36 balls.

Rampaul joined Samuel Badree for the last over with 10 required, and after a Badree boundary they needed two runs off the last delivery from Steve Harmison.

Rampaul edged to third man, they made a run, but Owais Shah returned the ball for an easy run out, preventing the second run to tie the game and send it into a one-over bowl-off at Stanford Cricket Ground.

All-rounders Andrew Flintoff capture 3-30 and Paul Collingwood took 2-11 in the middle overs.

Earlier, opener Ian Bell steadied England’s start with 37 including a six over long-off and a second six straight back over spinner Amit Jaggernauth.

Captain Kevin Pietersen joined Bell at 52-3. Together they notched 48 for the fourth wicket.
