Full commentary

Excellent comeback by West Indies after the Dyson howler in the first match. Chanderpaul and Sarwan set up their innings with two knocks of predictable class, and England...well, only Strauss got going. The rest floundered. It's 1-1, ladies and gents, with three to play, so join us on Friday for the third match of this series. For now, it's goodnight.

Pollard to Anderson, 1 run

clipped to leg for another neat and pretty single. England need ugly fours and sixes

46.5

Pollard to Anderson, 2 runs

good, straight ball but Anderson turns it to leg. Here comes the throw - Harmison is miles short here but there's a misfield at the stumps!

And that should be it for West Indies I think

5.22pm The rain's stopped and the lights are on. Game on.

5.15pm But that's it. They're heading off. It's fairly hammering down. England are 15 runs behind Duckworth-Lewis. The cut-off time if now 6pm apparently, so...the game's not over yet.
