Daren Powell	33	5	153	2	4.63	130	19	0	3	1
8.1 to AJ Strauss, gone, another start and another poor stroke from Strauss. It was in his area - a horrible ball, in truth. Too wide, too short, Straus flayed at it and went for a cut, but got a thin edge through to the wicketkeeper. 38/1 110.3 to MJ Prior, brilliant delivery. You can't argue with that, or even play it. Pitched on off on a menacing length, nipped back a touch, Prior poked at it, but missed completely. Cracking ball. 489/6
Corey Collymore	29	1	110	2	3.79	113	7	0	1	2
71.5 to PD Collingwood, got the wicket he deserved - Collingwood falling to a thick edge to first slip. The ball was planted on off stump, Collingwood stepped down and the ball - and Gayle - did the rest. 316/4 75.2 to IR Bell, Collymore's struck again! More swing and Bell feathers through to Ramdin who makes no mistake. Collymore appeals but Bell doesn't even wait for the verdict. 329/5
Jerome Taylor	22	4	116	1	5.27	81	16	0	0	1
60.2 to MP Vaughan, gone and Vaughan is furious. A bouncer which he swivelled on and appeared to time well, but deep midwicket was lurking on the boundary, just moving to his right to take a very fine catch indeed - inches from the rope. 254/3
Dwayne Bravo	24.3	3	97	1	3.95	104	12	0	1	1
122.3 to KP Pietersen, he has scythed this, going inside out and skying it to Jerome Taylor - it's gone miles up in the air - but Taylor runs in from deep point to take a very fine catch. 570/7
Chris Gayle	14	1	78	1	5.57	42	5	2	0	1
26.6 to AN Cook, gone! Round the wicket, pitched outside off, nips back and holds its line - a middle peg one - as it raps Cook on the front pad. That was out, no doubt. 91/2

Ryan Sidebottom	12	2	42	4	3.50	56	7	0	0	0
4.5 to CH Gayle, straight one does the damage, and that's Sidebottom's first Test wicket, and it's taken him six years to get one; that one would have taken leg. 17/1 6.2 to D Ganga, over the wicket, pitches in line, comes back - Ganga leaves that, and he shouldn't have. 23/2 32.5 to DJ Bravo, bowled round his legs, pegged back leg with one which pitched on middle-and-off and moved right across Bravo whose resistance comes to an end. 124/8 36.6 to CD Collymore, and that's Sidebottom's fourth wicket. Collymore undone by the ball swinging back in from outside off and, squared up, he sends an outside edge to Strauss at first slip. 146/9
Steve Harmison	12	0	55	2	4.58	47	6	0	1	3
16.2 to SC Joseph, but he's got him this time. Very full this time and Joseph went for a drive, without moving his feet, to hand Strauss a very comfortable catch at first slip. 68/3 20.1 to RS Morton, and another; Harmison roars his loudest appeal of the summer, but Morton cannot believe he's been given out. It cut back into him, Morton going back into his crease and tried to defend it. The ball flew to Prior's left who took a good tumbling catch, and up goes the finger. Morton is fuming. 82/5
Liam Plunkett	12	1	35	3	2.91	60	5	0	3	3
17.6 to DS Smith, and another one. A good length this from Plunkett, luring him into the drive and he got a thick outside edge, the ball flying to Cook in the gully. Good catch, too, taking it front of his face. 74/4 23.1 to D Ramdin, terrific ball - it was the perfect length, inducing the drive and he fell for the bait. Very sloppy shot and a thick outside edge handed Prior a comfortable, if not entirely straightforward catch, well taken to his right. 94/6 27.4 to DBL Powell, and as soon as he finds his line and length, he gets another wicket. Full, holding its line before shaping away at the last moment, a drive hands Collingwood a sharp chance at second slip. 114/7

Ryan Sidebottom	15	4	44	4	2.93	74	5	0	0	0
6.5 to D Ganga, pitched just on leg, and would have gone on to hit the top of off. Swing there from Sidebottom who picks up his fifth wicket of the day - but a marginal decision. 20/1 8.6 to DBL Powell, got him! He never should have left that one, in truth, the length that Sidebottom was looking for, right on middle-and-off, straightening and quite unplayable. 22/2 16.1 to SC Joseph, pitched leg, swung into Joseph and would have gone on to hit leg. He had been playing Sidebottom from the crease and that was always going to be a high-risk strategy. Sure enough, the first time he missed, he perished. 47/4 18.1 to DS Smith, full, swinging away from Smith who limply hung his bat out, the edge flew to Strauss at first slip at chest height, he got two hands to the ball, juggled and caught it one handed at the second attempt as he fell to his left. 57/5
Liam Plunkett	8	2	25	1	3.12	39	3	0	0	1
11.2 to CH Gayle, good length, angled across the left hander, Gayle plays from back in the crease, gets an edge and Prior dives to his left to hold the regulation chance. 30/3
Steve Harmison	13.1	3	37	3	2.81	61	4	0	0	4
34.5 to RS Morton, another bouncer but Morton couldn't get on top of it, like Bravo did in the previous ball, skying it straight above his head and Prior sprinted in to take a comfortable catch by the stumps. 120/6 40.5 to D Ramdin, full, really fired in, strikes Ramdin on the pads as he looks to turn it into the leg side and Rauf upholds a vociferous appeal. 141/7 42.1 to JE Taylor, banged in, Taylor swishes more than hooks, the ball drops down off his shoulder-glove-shoulder and into the stumps. A bail plops apologetically to the ground and it's all over. 141/9
Monty Panesar	6	1	20	1	3.33	27	1	1	0	0
41.6 to DJ Bravo, again he skips down the track, Panesar fires another one in and, rushed and cramped, Bravo's shot loops to Plunkett at mid-off. 141/8

Pulverising the West Indies

No 7 in our series of Kevin Pietersen's top ten innings

Flintoff could play for Lancashire

England have a glimmer of hope that Andrew Flintoff will be able to play in the third Test against West Indies at Old Trafford next week after all

Sarwan ruled out of tour

Ramnaresh Sarwan, the West Indies captain, has been ruled out of the rest of the England tour with the shoulder injury sustained last week

Glowing in the cold

Jenny Thompson has this week's top performer - Ryan Sidebottom, who took eight wickets on his Test return

We have to close the frightening gap - Murray

Extremely disappointing. That was the general consensus from three former regional players after West Indies' humiliating defeat at Headingley
