SOUTHAMPTON (England), June 17: England’s bowlers backed up Ian Bell’s impressive century to lead the hosts to a 114-run victory over West Indies in the first One-day International here on Saturday.

Tim Bresnan claimed four for 34 and James Anderson and Graeme Swann took two wickets each as the tourists were bowled out for 172 in 33.4 overs, replying to England’s 288 for six from 50 in a rain-affected match at the Rose Bowl.

West Indies chased a revised target of 287 from 48 overs on the Duckworth-Lewis method after bad weather interrupted their innings.

Dwayne Smith’s 56 put his side in a good position at 95 for one but the opener became Bresnan’s first victim and, after a 70-minute delay, the tourists suffered a batting slump as they lost their last five wickets for 35 runs.
