Right, we are just about ready to start...it's Stuart Broad with the new ball. He has a slip and an extra cover catching.
Morning all. Will here. The Dyson fallout continues unabated. "They got everything they deserved," spits Botham. David "Bumble" Lloyd, friend of Cricinfo - friend of cricket - wondered whether Dyson (or Die Soon, as one Caribbean website termed him) might have to resign. That hasn't happened, and for all the ludicrousness and partial hilarity of it all, it's time we moved on. West Indies are now one-down, and for the first time in months Andrew Strauss was seen smiling at the post-toss chat.
9.05am West Indies have won the toss and decided to bat first as they try to square the series. They have made one change with Lionel Baker replacing Daren Powell
1 Chris Gayle, 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 5 Kieron Pollard, 6 Dwayne Bravo, 7 Darren Sammy, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Nikita Miller, 10 Lionel Baker, 11 Fidel Edwards
8.55am England have named an unchanged team so here is their side: 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Ravi Bopara, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Owais Shah, 5 Paul Collingwood, 6 Matt Prior (wk), 7 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Gareth Batty, 10 Steve Harmison, 11 James Anderson
8.50am Hello and welcome to Cricinfo's coverage of the second one-day international between West Indies and England. I'm Andrew McGlashan and will be joined by Will Luke to bring you all the action.
Let's hope that John Dyson has brushed up on his Duckworth-Lewis rules after his horrendous mistake on Friday cost West Indies the match. England, though, won't care about that after finally getting their first win of the winter.
There has been some early morning rain in Guyana but that was moved through and it's a bright and breezy morning. It has also been agreed that the floodlights can be used in this match so hopefully that should avoid a repeat of the situation from the other night when a full house was left bemused.

0.1 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
full outside off stump, goes for a drive and gets a thick inside edge into the leg side
|
0.2 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
good line outside off, Gayle chops down on it and finds short cover
|
0.3 |
Broad to Gayle,
1 run,
touch more width, Gayle guides this down to third man
|
It looks another very slow pitch
|
0.4 |
Broad to Simmons,
1 wide,
can't adjust to the right hander, fires this down the leg side and it's the first extra of the day
|
0.4 |
Broad to Simmons,
no run,
better from Broad, gets back outside off stump, left alone
|
0.5 |
Broad to Simmons,
no run,
slight hint of swing, but it carries at ankle height through to Matt Prior
|

James Anderson will share the new ball
|
1.1 |

no run,
pushed across the left hander, carries quite nicely through to the keeper
|
1.2 |
Anderson to Gayle,
no run,
good line from Anderson, on middle and Gayle defends to the on side
|
1.3 |
Anderson to Gayle,
no run,
tucked off middle to square leg, can't beat the fielder
|
1.4 |

no run,
well bowled by Anderson, beats Gayle on the inside edge as he comes forward but it doesn't carry through on the full to Prior
|
1.5 |
Anderson to Gayle,
1 run,
drives up to mid-off, sets off for a sharp single and Gayle isn't exactly moving swiftly but still manages to make it
|
There's a problem with the ball already, maybe it's not round enough to white enough. The box comes out and they have changed it, looks like another brand new one
|
1.6 |
Anderson to Simmons,
no run,
well bowled, squares Simmons up a touch as he defends back to the bowler
|
Good start from Anderson

Now Gayle decides to change his bat...come on, get on with it
|
2.1 |
Broad to Gayle,
FOUR,
that's more like it from Gayle, swung hard down the ground past mid-on with real force
|
2.2 |
Broad to Gayle,
FOUR,
goes through midwicket this time, not out of the middle but he's so strong that it still races away to the rope
|
Clearly that change of bat has worked
|
2.3 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
great comeback from Broad, bounce and carry outside off as Gayle is beaten playing forward...Prior takes it around his shoulder
|
2.4 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
driven into the covers, nicely timed but goes straight to cover
|
2.5 |
Broad to Gayle,
FOUR,
short and wide outside off, slashed away up and over backward point, poor delivery from Broad and Gayle wasn't going to miss out on that
|
2.6 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
goes round the wicket, gets away with this one, still too much width but Gayle cuts it straight to the point fielder
|

|
3.2 |
Anderson to Simmons,
OUT,
that's out, superb delivery from Anderson, hint of movement away to Simmons who gets an healthy edge through to Prior...nice bowling, pace and bounce on that one and it was too much for Simmons who was trying to guide it to third man
|
|
LMP Simmons c †Prior b Anderson 0 (16m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
|
A good early blow for England after Gayle made a statement in the last over
|
The new batsman is Ramnaresh Sarwan...big reception from the home crowd
|
3.3 |
Anderson to Sarwan,
no run,
lbw appeal first ball, struck on the pads but it's going down the leg side although that's how England want to attack Sarwan early and failed to manage during the Test series
|
3.4 |
Anderson to Sarwan,
2 runs,
off the mark in nice style, opens the face and guides it between backward point and cover, outfield is quick and they come back for two
|
3.5 |
Anderson to Sarwan,
no run,
bouncer, first of the day, and Sarwan ducks underneath...more bounce from Anderson's end
|
3.6 |
Anderson to Sarwan,

Broad to Gayle,
no run,
well bowled, awkward bounce on off stump, takes the shoulder of the bat and goes out to backward point
|
4.4 |

goes for the leg-stump yorker, Gayle gets bat on it and it races past the leg slip who had no chance of stopping it standing so close
|
4.5 |
Broad to Gayle,
no run,
back on off stump, pushed out to short cover
|
4.6 |
Broad to Gayle,

|

Here comes another home town hero, Mr S Chanderpaul who now has a road named after him...Chanderpaul Drive - how many of those will we see today?
|
5.2 |
Anderson to Chanderpaul,
no run,
well bowled, certainly some extra bounce as well at times, Chanderpaul plays it down into the leg side
|
Two slips in for Anderson
|
5.3 |

no run,
worked from off stump into the leg side, Anderson fields in his follow through

worked out to square leg

better length, on off stump, defended into the leg side

Not quite sure why England are bowling to Sarwan's strength here

Change of bowling, here's Steve Harmison

Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
driven up to mid-off
|
8.3 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
outside off, going across Chanderpaul who leaves alone

A good time for Harmison to bowl after those two early wickets
|
8.4 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
finds the outside edge, squirted down to third man past the lone slip
|
8.5 |

well bowled, on off stump and Sarwan gets squared up with the outside edge flying wide of backward point as he tried to work through the leg side...goes wide of third man for a couple
|
8.6 |
Harmison to Sarwan,

cut out to backward point, Sarwan might feel he missed out on that one

driven wide of mid-off, can't beat Pietersen but they get an easy single

Anderson to Sarwan,

What ho. Read this. Here's Harmison.
|
10.1 |
Harmison to Sarwan,
no run,
good length, forcing him back, and it's nudged to leg

10.2 |
Harmison to Sarwan,
1 run,
tries to whip it through mid-on but can't time it
|
10.3 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
fuller delivery and stroked out to cover
|
10.4 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
left alone outside off
|
Harmison's bowling okay so far. Pretty disciplined. But he looks like he's running in on quicksand; really labouring to the crease
|
10.5 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
on leg stump and nudged to nowhere
|
10.6 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,

12.3 |
Harmison to Sarwan,
1 run,
swings this to mid-on
|
12.4 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
FOUR,
edged through the vacant slip for four! Probably wouldn't have carried in fact, and I'm even inclined to think he played it deliberately. Anyway. It's four
|
12.5 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
no run,
good line outside off, and left alone
|
12.6 |
Harmison to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
short of a length and pull-paddled around the corner. This pitch is absurdly slow; batsmen have enough time to make a cup of tea after the bowler wangs it down

goes for a drive and gets an inside edge to leg
|
13.2 |
Broad to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
on his legs, flicked to fine leg - where Mascarenhas misfields. But they don't take two

down the leg side, off his pads
|
13.4 |
Broad to Chanderpaul,
no run,

Broad to Chanderpaul,
no run,
very full and driveable length. Chanderpaul bunts it back powerfully to Broad who fields it comfortably in his follow-through
|
Nice, tight bowling this. I've probably jinxed him now
|

The Powerplay has been taken...strap yourselves in. And that decision leads to a change of bowling with Stuart Broad replacing Collingwood...oh what's this, Broad can't bowl yet because he was off the field. So it's Anderson with the ball, what a waste of time this last few minutes has been

and Anderson strikes, Sarwan started to shuffle around the crease but the bowler held his nerve and an attempted drive loops to mid-off on the edge of the circle...very important breakthrough for England

third in a row, goes for the slower ball and it's too wide again...Broad not sure what to do and major problems here for Andrew Strauss
|
37.5 |
Broad to Chanderpaul,
no run,
wide of the stumps, but close enough for the drive but backward point prevents any runs
|
37.6 |
Broad to Chanderpaul,
no run,
opens the face and runs it to short third man...ends a long and expensive over
|
Well, it's now over to Will Luke for the conclusion to this innings to see how many West Indies will get

I'm sensing Chanderpaul is on the verge of something really, really special here. This'll be a brilliant last 12 overs
|
38.1 |
Anderson to Pollard,
no run,
swing and a miss outside off
|
38.2 |
Anderson to Pollard,
2 runs,
very short and pulled through midwicket
|
38.3 |
Anderson to Pollard,
2 runs,
pulled on the front foot out to deep midwicket
|
38.4 |
Anderson to Pollard,
1 run,
smashed to mid-off who wings down a shy at the non-striker's stumps
|
38.5 |
Anderson to Chanderpaul,
(no ball) 1 run,
full toss above waist height, but Chanderpaul's pulled it - straight down Harmison's throat at fine leg! What a catch from the big man, who keeps himself inside the line. But, drama here - Chanderpaul's asking the umpire why that wasn't a no-ball, as it was above waist height. And he signals it was a no-ball! Blimey. Drama. Correct decision made. Harmison's catch was an absolute snorter taking it well over his head to save six
|
38.5 |

1 leg bye,
goes for a pull but can't time it
|

|
39.1 |
Mascarenhas to Pollard,
1 run,
pulled into the deep and Anderson pulls off another quality save, getting his body behind the line and scooping it up
|
39.2 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,
FOUR,
four! Another brilliant reverse-sweep for four down to third man (or fine-leg...depending on your view). And he hammered it!
|
39.3 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
goes for a back cut
|
39.4 |
Mascarenhas to Pollard,
OUT,
got him! Powerfully lofted but straight to Pietersen at long-on who takes a fine, tumbling catch to his right

Ten overs remaining. Here's Collingwood
|
40.1 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
a floaty little number on middle stump which is nudged to mid-on
|
Bravo now
|
40.2 |
Collingwood to Bravo,
2 runs,
off the mark with a nudged two through the on-side
|
40.3 |
Collingwood to Bravo,
2 runs,
down the leg side and again he leans on it through midwicket for a couple
|
40.4 |
Collingwood to Bravo,
no run,
solid forward defensive
|
40.5 |
Collingwood to Bravo,
1 run,
good line outside off which Bravo prods to a deepish mid-off. They jog a single
|
40.6 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
no run,
nudged back to Collingwood

|
41.2 |
Mascarenhas to Bravo,

stroked back to the bowler
|
41.3 |
Mascarenhas to Bravo,
no run,
pushed just to the bowler's left
|
41.4 |
Mascarenhas to Bravo,
1 run,
crashed out to the off side
|
41.5 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
a leg-side delivery flicked - guess? - to the leg side. Mascarenhas sets off in hot pursuit but can't prevent the single
|
Why are pursuits nearly always termed hot? Why not tepid, or cool?
|
41.6 |
Mascarenhas to Bravo,
no run,
down the leg side but he escapes being clattered for six, as he should have been, as he can only roll his wrists on it to send the ball to short fine leg

Collingwood to Bravo,
1 run,
short and wide and Bravo cracks this off the back foot quite extravagantly, just passed Bopara at cover
|
42.3 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
2 runs,
stroked to mid-off who shies at the stumps, misses by a country mile, and they get an overthrow
|
That was Strauss who ballsed-up there, by the way.
|
42.4 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
clunked out to the off side. Good stop
|
42.5 |
Collingwood to Bravo,
1 run,
nicely squirted down to third man
|
42.6 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
full toss worked to mid-on

Chanderpaul has 8000 runs in ODIs and is only the third West Indian to do so, behind Des Haynes and some chap called Lara?

Mascarenhas to Bravo,
SIX,
beautifully lofted over long-off. Really elegant, with a full swing of the bat. The ball, however, was sitting up and literally begging to be hit
|
43.3 |
Mascarenhas to Bravo,

on the off stump, turned to Shah at long-on
|
Chanders on strike now

|
44.4 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
no run,
slower ball, wide of the off stump and the crowd all deflate their cheers as he can't get a single
|
44.5 |
Collingwood to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
flicked to leg and there's his hundred! His 10th ODI hundred and he's done it at his home ground who, to a man and woman, are standing. It's quite a sight
|
126 balls for that sublime hundred. What a total and utter ledge he is.

Mascarenhas to Bravo,
OUT,
bouncer and pulled over midwicket - but what a catch by Paul Collingwood! Bravo absolutely nailed this pull and Collingwood back-peddled, taking the ball with both hands over his head while falling backwards. And he does well to stay inside the rope. Outstanding skill

12.55pm West Indies just losing their way here. And, as I write, a very blustery shower scurries across the ground and the covers are hurriedly dragged on
|
1.00pm And we're back again. It's still spitting, but nothing too scary
|
46.2 |
Collingwood to Sammy,
no run,
straight ball worked to mid-on
|
46.3 |
Collingwood to Sammy,
no run,
good, straight ball on off stump which squares him up a bit
|
1.08pm We're back again. Howdy.
1.01pm The groundsmen are ready, they're under starter's orders - and they're off! The drizzle has turned into another heavy shower which has forced them off. Shouldn't be longer than five minutes though

another reverse-hit, more of a paddle this time. And mistimed, too. Super attempt though
|

muscularly slapped! Wow - that nearly killed Mascarenhas. He stood tall and just slapped it past him. No chance of catching that

Great effort from Collingwood. 3 for 49 from his 10 overs. Last over of the innings
|
49.1 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,
2 runs,
very wide indeed and Chanderpaul, a little crippled with cramp in the legs, can only just reach it
|
49.2 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,
1 run,
attempts to crash this over extra cover but ends up slicing it to third man
|
Chanderpaul is really struggling. He can barely stand, let alone walk! But he soldiers on regardless
|
49.3 |
Mascarenhas to Edwards,
1 run,
stands tall and pulls it powerfully into the ground. Mascarenhas swooped and tried to get a finger on it as the ball shattered the non-striker's stumps, but couldn't quite manage it
|
Mascarenhas is appealing and it's gone to the third umpire, but it's so hard for him to tell if he's got a finger on it. We're still waiting.
|
More rain
|
49.4 |
Mascarenhas to Chanderpaul,

flicked to leg
|
Chanderpaul can barely stand up, poor bloke. Heavy rain now! Please don't let them go off, with just two balls to go. Please

|
49.6 |
Mascarenhas to Edwards,

|
Well West Indies' innings has ended in rather a damp squib and England will be rather pleased. They restricted them very nicely in the last 10 overs, despite Chanderpaul's brilliant hundred. It really is hammering down with rain as the covers are dragged on. Join us in 30 minutes (or less - we're not sure) for England's response
