Flash quotes from England v West Indies

Marcus TRESCOTHICK (ENG) - 104 runs

On England's innings:

"It wasn't our best to be honest. It was hard fought and we had to grind it out. The wicket was wet and helped the ball skid on. We've got 217 on the board and have to see what happens."

On Wavel HINDS' performance:

"He's not that quick, but he put the ball in the right place. We kept losing wickets at the wrong time so we couldn't get partnerships going or attack him."

On the weather:

"It became a bit of a problem especially turning. The spikes kept sliding at the end of the crease. The rain may help the wicket, but we'll have to wait and see."

On the English bowling attack:

"If we get our big lads coming through we may have a chance."
