Southampton, September 30: Jonny Bairstow hammered an unbeaten 141 as England chased down 289 in 38 overs to win the fifth and final one-day international against West Indies.

England finished on 294-1 after Joe Root smashed a six off Marlon Samuels to win the series 4-0 with the second ODI a no-result due to rain.

Bairstow, who also got a ton in the first match, hit 17 boundaries in his 114-ball innings.
Jason Roy was the only English wicket to fall, trapped leg before wicket for 96 by Miguel Cummins in the 22nd over, after an opening stand with Bairstow of 156.
