19th over: Things go from bad to worse for England as Trescothick is bowled by Bravo, who is nejoying a debut to remember.
England 75-4 (Trescothick 26)

18th over: Flintoff's old fallibility against spin returns as an attempt to heave Gayle over the leg-side results in a thin edge to the keeper.
England 75-3 (Flintoff 8)

17th over: A disciplined over by Bravo permits no liberties from the England batsmen.

15th over: A drinks break does Strauss no favours as he resumes by playing around a straight ball from Bravo and is bowled.

14th over: Another fine over from Rampaul, with a pushed one to mid-off by Strauss the only run off the bat.

13th over: A wide by Bravo takes the England total to 50 and sloppy work by Chanderpaul at cover gifts Trescothick a boundary.

12th over: Rampaul gives England nothing to hit and they settle for continuing to rotate the strike.

11th over: A good over from Bravo restricts England to three singles.

10th over: Strauss cuts powerfully behind square for four as Rampaul strays too wide in his opening over.

9th over: Bravo's first ball in international cricket is a long hop which Strauss puts away over square leg. Trescothick drives uppishly to mid-off where Sarwan fails to hold a difficult diving catch.

8th over: Collymore is denied a second successive maiden as Trescothick chops the last ball down to third man where a mis-field enables him a second run.

7th over: Dillon drops short and Strauss swivels to pull the ball away authoritatively. A good ball finds the edge later in the over but it eludes the slips and runs away for a second four.

5th over: Trescothick smears across the line after advancing down the wicket and collects four lucky runs off the under-edge.

2nd over: Collymore almost finds a gap between bat and pad but an inside edge saves Trescothick.

England 1-1 (Vaughan 0)

WEST INDIES INNINGS

30th over: Kirtley is entrusted with the final over of the innings. Only three come off the bat but he is guilty of the first and only no-ball of the innings.

29th over: Chanderpaul swings Gough away over mid-wicket for four as the pressure increases on England. Another leg stump delivery is swept deftly to fine leg for another, but he hits a full toss to cover to end his innings.

27th over: Joseph takes two to long-on off Gough as Trescothick fails to gather the ball cleanly.

26th over: Kirtley and Blackwell make a hash of fielding at backward square leg, enabling Joseph to take three. Chanderpaul steers an attempted yorker away to third man for four.

25th over: Kirtley tries a slower ball but Chanderpaul waits and chips it away square for four to bring up a 50 partnership with Joseph. The last delivery is drilled through mid-off for another.

24th over: Chanderpaul's timing is excellent as he stands up straight to force Harmison away for four to mid-wicket.

23rd over: The total reaches three figures as Joseph adds one off Trescothick.

22nd over: Chanderpaul adds his second six with a top edged sweep off Collingwood, flicks the next ball away square for four and then thumps away through mid-off for another. A push for one takes him to 50 off 72 balls.

21st over: Another good over from Trescothick means West Indies have to settle for a wide and a single by Joseph.

20th over: Chanderpaul pulls a rare short ball and Harmison is unable to cut off the boundary at long leg. Clarke's next ball is superbly driven past cover for four more.

19th over: An unexpected move by Vaughan as Trescothick relieves Harmison - a tidy over only costs three.

18th over: Smith dabs a ball from Clarke through point and hares back for a second run, but then perishes to a smart catch at mid-wicket by Flintoff.
West Indies 64-4 (Smith 16)

17th over: Chanderpaul finally emerges from his introspection by clipping Harmison for four and then hammering him over long-on for six.

15th over: Smith flails at a wide ball from Kirtley and takes one as the ball falls short of the third man fielder. Chanderpaul takes a single with a push to long-off.

14th over: Chanderpaul's agony continues as Flintoff ties him down with a maiden over.

13th over: Chanderpaul opens the face and adds one by gliding the ball down to third man.

12th over: Chanderpaul is unable to find any fluency but picks up one to Strauss at mid-wicket.

11th over: Smith starts in positive fashion by square cutting Kirtley to the fence. He survives a confident lbw appeal next ball and then edges to third man for his second four.

10th over: Sarwan's first innings as West Indies skipper lasts two balls as he falls lbw to Flintoff, although TV replays show an inside edge onto his pad.
West Indies 25-3 (Sarwan 0).

10th over: Flintoff turns the screw for England as he takes a simple return catch to dismiss Powell.
West Indies 25-2 (Powell 10)

9th over: Kirtley concedes four leg byes as he tries to find the right line in his first over.

8th over: Powell collects a much needed first boundary for the home side as Harmison strays onto leg stump. The second soon follows as he drives back over the bowler's head.

7th over: Another high quality over from Gough with Chanderpaul unable to break the shackles.

6th over: Harmison's appeal is turned down after he raps Chanderpaul on the pad, and he ends the over by beating Powell twice outside off stump.

5th over: Gough strikes for England by bowling Gayle through a huge gap between bat and pad.
West Indies 7-1 (Gayle 2)

4th over: Harmison is right on the spot in an over in which Gayle's off-drive for one is the sole scoring stroke.

2nd over: Harmison almost makes a breakthrough as Gayle drives unconvincingly and the ball just misses off stump.

1st over: Gough shows no sign of rustiness in a tidy first over which costs him only a single.
