Ugly tables with multirow

Question

I'm following How to use \multirow to try and create a table. I have five columns and two rows, but the first column of the two rows need to be merged into one cell. The code I have is:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{|P{6 cm}|P{2.7 cm}|c|P{2 cm}|P{2 cm}|}
    \hline
    A & B & C & D & E  \\ \hline
    \multirow{ 2}{*}{1} & 0 & 6 & 230 & 35 & \\
    & 1 & 5 & 195 & 25 \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{A test caption}
    \label{table2}
    \end{table}

\end{document}

But the table I see looks like this The vertical lines are broken, and I also need a horizontal line to separate the two rows in columns B,C,D, and E.

to allow column headers to be centered while having fixed widths.

What am I doing wrong?

Corrected table code as below:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{|P{6 cm}|P{2.7 cm}|c|P{2 cm}|P{2 cm}|}
    \hline
    A & B & C & D & E  \\ \hline
    \multirow{ 2}{*}{1} & 0 & 6 & 230 & 35  \\\cline{2-5}
    & 1 & 5 & 195 & 25 \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{A test caption}
    \label{table2}
    \end{table}

\end{document}

If the table is too wide consider the following revision in code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{P}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}}

\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{lllll}
    \hline
    A & B & C & D & E  \\ \hline
    \multirow{ 2}{*}{1} & 0 & 6 & 230 & 35  \\\cline{2-5}
    & 1 & 5 & 195 & 25 \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{A test caption}
    \label{table2}
    \end{table}

\end{document}
