Broad goes for 1​

Stuart Broad was dismissed for just 1 run at Lords on Day 3. He tried to play off the back foot but could only manage to edge behind. Suddenly from being 280/5, England were 283/9 with last man Jimmy Anderson joining Monty Panesar.

Last wicket partnership helps give Windies tough target​

Monty Panesar and Jimmy Anderson shared a 35 10th wicket partnership after lunch on Day 3, to move England's total onto 318 all out and give the West Indies a run target of 354 runs, a similar one of which they narrowly failed to get in the 1st Test at Trent Bridge. Panesar's and Anderson's partnership was ended when Anderson edged Corey Collymore to Jerome Taylor at 2nd slip for 21 from 23, while Panesar was unbeaten on 14 not out. Jerome Taylor was the most successful of West Indian bowlers taking 4-95 from 20 Overs, while Collymore took 2 wickets.







West Indies Require 354 Runs To Win

 

[Leicester Fox]

KP and Fred held us together to set Windies another tough target with Monty on a last day pitch. C'arn Broady!

 

[surendar]

354 is impossible unless there is fireworks from Gayle with solid support from Lara ( say a 200 ). Windies in trouble.

 

[Roofrom50]

A good innings from KP there. Played well for his side

 

[Jaztheman]

They needed KP, to preform and he did

Well done England.

 

[Mr. Kurns]

nice score england, well done Phillip looks really nice

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

KP and Freddie both played a good knock which was required now i am eager to see how West Indies reply them when they will chase the target .

Broad gets Gayle early!​

Stuart Broad grabbed the crucial wicket of Chris Gayle in the 6th over of the West Indian 2nd Innings to leave the away side on 16/1. Having had boundaries hit off him from Gayle, Broad decided to bowl around the wicket, the next ball, he bowled a straight ball on a good length. However, Gayle played down Picadilly and the ball came down Bakerloo and cleaned him up. Gayle went for 10 from 12 and Brian Lara is the new man at the crease.

Lara gets run out for the 2nd time in the match!​

Captain Brian Lara was fuming at being run out for the 2nd time in the match at Lords. His partner Darren Ganga, played a back foot cover drive, only one was realistically available, but Ganga decided he wanted 2. The man fielding was Paul Collingwood and he threw the ball to Broad who whipped the bails out. Lara went back to the pavilion having scored just 4 from 5 balls.

Ganga goes after decent partnership​

After the two early wickets for England, the two West Indian batsmen Darren Ganga and Shivnarine Chanderpaul built a promising partnership. Ganga after his snail like start, speeded up with some nice cover-drives and one big cover drive six off the bowling of Jimmy Anderson. However, Monty Panesar struck in his first over. As Ganga tried to play on the legside, he was bowled through the gate for 30 from 68 deliveries. The score was 75/3 with the West Indies needing 278 more runs to win and Ramnaresh Sarwan at the crease.

Sarwan can't repeat feat of first innings​

Andrew Flintoff bowled an absolute ripper of a bouncer to get rid of danger man Ramnaresh Sarwan in the West Indian run chase. The bouncer seamed away from the batsman and Sarwan got a massive leading edge to his hook shot, the catch was easily taken by Kevin Pietersen at mid-off. England celebrated as 2 quick wickets had fell for the 2nd time in the innings. Sarwan was gone for 5 from 15 balls. Keeper Denesh Ramdin was next man in at number 6, with 4 wickets down for 80 runs.

Ramdin goes shortly after tea​

Just a few overs after tea at Lords, the 5th wicket of the West Indian innings fell. Monty Panesar bowling, over the wicket to Denesh Ramdin, bowled a straight ball. Ramdin tried to play straight but was clean bowled. England and more specifically Monty Panesar were delighted. The fall of wicket was Ramdin who was dismissed for 12 from 34 balls, and the score was 103/5, with the new man in Dave Mohammed. Suprisingly after bowling very well at Trent Bridge, Dave Mohammed didn't bowl at all in either England innings in this match.

Mohammed cant hold on until stumps​

Steve Harmison bowled a cracking over at Dave Mohammed, getting him to move all over the crease. In the fourth ball of the over, the wicket came. Harmison bowling, short of a length got the ball to rise up at Mohammed who edged behind to Chris Read. Mohammed went for 10 from 38 and the West Indies on 144/6 and Ian Bradshaw at the crease with Chanderpaul being left stranded on 45 not out.
