30 Overs Gone
Score: 80/4
Collingwood: 9
Prior: 4
Wickets: Alistair Cook: b. L.Baker c. R.Sarwan 27
Kevin Pietersen: b. L.Baker c. R.Sarwan 18
England looked to have settled, until Baker struck with two more wickets. First, he had Cook caught at slip by Sarwan. Sarwan then moved to point where he took an expert catch from KP to leave England at 69/4. By the time these two wickets had fallen, Collingwood and Matt Prior had come to the crease. Both hoping they would rescue the England innings, which was flagging at 80/4.
Some pictures from the past 10 overs:

40 Overs Gone
Score: 140/4
Collingwood: 40
Prior: 32
England have recovered well, with Collingwood leading the way and Prior in support. Benn has recently been replaced by Jerome Taylor, who is on for his second fruitless spell. This match is beginning to look like a close match. If the two current batsmen can stay at the crease and complete their 50's, England will have a good chance.

50 Overs Gone
Score: 201/4
Paul Collingwood: 91
Matt Prior: 40
England have passed the 200 mark with only 4 wickets gone. A great recovery from 69/4. Collingwood has passed his half century and gone on into the 90's. At the other end, Matt Prior has slowly been scoring singles while watching Collingwood keep the strike.
The West Indies are beginning to run out of ideas. Benn has been taken off and replaced by Bravo who has been hit for two 6's by Collingwood.
100 overs now gone, and England with an alright score after what was a second rate start. Collingwood and Prior were unlucky not to get to 3 figures, but Samit Patel has come in and batted superbly for his 87 not out. It's a shame that the same cannot be said for Flintoff, out for 20 after a positive start. For the West Indies, Baker has now taken 5, and Bravo and Sammy have both chipped in with 1 a piece.
