England content with four man attack

England went into the fourth Test at Headingley against the West Indies with seven batsmen, trusting their four pronged pace attack of Gough, Caddick, Cork and White to do the job for them.

The West Indies have won the toss and are batting on a wicket which England captain Nasser Hussain, mincing no words, suggested was `uglylooking'.

Yorkshire paceman Matthew Hoggard is sitting out on his home ground and Graeme Hick makes a return at No.7, in place of off spinner Robert Croft. West Indies have also made one change with Nixon McLean replacing the disappointing Franklyn Rose who is down with an ankle injury.

The five Test series is tied at 1-1. West Indies have won three of their last four Tests at Leeds including a nine wicket triumph in 1995, their last visit to England.

England captain Nasser Hussain, gifted a couple of runs to the West Indies by misfielding the first ball bowled by Gough. His new ball partner Andy Caddick had an lbw shout against Adrian Griffith turned down by Umpire Cowie.

It was Gough who was destined to strike first as he had Campbell caught at gully off Marcus Trescothick for 8. There were only 5000 in the crowd to greet Gough's breakthrough, a surprisingly low figure in view of the closely fought pattern of the series.

Both Caddick and Gough were getting the new ball to swing extravagantly and the batsmen had to weather some difficult moments in the early stages.
