Even without 'naughty boy' Ben Stokes in the side, England fought back really well when facing a huge West Indies target of 357.
The lads from the Caribbean had batted superbly after being in deep trouble at 33 for 3. Lewis - later to retire hurt after blasting a ball into the back of his own ankle - made a dazzling 176.
England would have to set a record to chase down this mighty target.
But the England batsmen realised that bad weather was on the way and cleverly stayed ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis (no relation) calculator and when the heavens opened - they were six runs ahead.
In Friday's match - the Windies will only be playing for pride.
