In a rain-affected encounter, the 21-year-old Barbadian delighted the few home supporters among a majority English audience with figures of 3-29 as the tourists were restricted to 206-9 off 40 overs after being put in. Then, with the West Indies stuttering at 135-6 in pursuit of a revised target of 188 off 34 overs, Forde (13 not out) joined Romario Shepherd (41 not out) in an unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 56 to take the Caribbean team to their first ODI series triumph over England for 16 years.
