England, 1-0 up after their convincing win at Bristol, are put in to bat by the West Indies and make a solid start to the third and final one-day international at Edgbaston
With the sun making its presence felt, Ravi Bopara maintains his impressive, and creative, form as England quickly pass 50 against a lacklustre Windies attack

Owais Shah takes up the attack and scores runs all around the ground as England set their sights on a big score of more than 300 off their 50 overs
Matt Prior also scores freely, working the ball around the outfield, and puts on 100 with Shah in quick time as England take control of the match
Prior, playing in his 40th one-day international, survives this strong lbw appeal from Benn and goes on to beat his previous best ODI score of 52
Shah smashes a six off a free-ball but tries the same the next ball and is caught by Runako Morton for 75 to end a 149-run stand with Prior - England 278-3 in the 44th over
After Dimitri Mascarenhas falls first ball, Prior attempts to thrash Taylor for six but misses and is bowled for 87 off 86 balls - England 289-5

England squad player Ian Bell looks for the ball after Dwayne Bravo smashes a massive six off Mascarenhas - but Bravo's innings is short-lived as Bresnan traps him lbw for 26
Shiv Chanderpaul, playing steadily as per usual, tries to rebuild the West Indies innings while Anderson strives for another wicket for the home side
Denesh Ramdin plays some unorthodox shots in a partnership of 82 before Chanderpaul falls for 68 and then Ramdin departs for 45 - Windies 189-6 in the 39th over
Bowler James Anderson gets his back into everything as he tries to wrap up the West Indies tail
Kieron Pollard makes a dozen runs from nine balls but is then cleverly run out by Prior. He looks to be in but his raised bat seals his demise. Windies 212-7
Ravi Rampaul hoists Graeme Swann for six but the bowler soon gets revenge and sends the ball crashing through his gate. Windies needing a miracle on 254-9
