From BBC:
England succumbed to a five-wicket defeat against Australia in the final World Cup warm-up match at St Vincent.
Shane Watson and Adam Gilchrist shared 140 within 24 overs, and though both fell in consecutive overs, the target of 198 was reached with 55 balls left.
Michael Vaughan (62) won the toss and shared 116 for the second wicket with Ian Bell (56) as England scented a fourth successive win over Australia.
But others did not master a slow pitch as two fours came in the last 24 overs.
