England captain Paul Collingwood (right) wins the toss, opts to field and selects James Anderson to deliver the first over Devon Smith opens with Chris Gayle and the pair put on 50 by the end of the eighth over as West Indies make a strong start Sadly for the tourists, the partnership ends moments later when Smith edges Anderson to Matt Prior for 17 With Gayle looking set for a half century, he chips Ryan Sidebottom straight to Anderson at mid-on making it 67-2 His departure brings together Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Marlon Samuels who build a partnership that passes 150 Samuels's dismissal by Stuart Broad fails to unsettle Chanderpaul who completes his century in the 47th over Broad and Sidebottom pick up two more late wickets as West Indies set a competitive total of 278-5 off 50 overs England's reply starts shakily with Alastair Cook, Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen all going cheaply to leave them on 64-3 Opener Matt Prior is harder to remove, however, and completes his half century after a break for rain Two overs later both he and Collingwood find themselves back in the pavilion after a double strike by West Indies' bowlers Owais Shah and Michael Yardy fightback with a partnership of 54 before the latter falls to Dwayne Bravo in the 37th over Ravi Rampaul returns to the attack and removes both Shah and Dimitri Mascarenhas to leave England teetering on 179-8 With Sidebottom run out, Edwards claims the final wicket of Anderson as West Indies win by 61 runs to level the series
