England declared on 284-8 yesterday, setting the Windies 401 to win.
They faced just 2 overs at the end of yesterday, reaching 7-0.
10 wickets needed today. Will Monty be the hero?

Except it's raining so a result seems unlikely now...

2nd test has started this morning. England won the toss and are batting. Currently 81-1. Strauss went for 15.
England make 2 changes from the 1st test. Michael Vaughan returns as captain, replacing Owais Shah and Ryan Sidebottom wins his second test cap, six years after his first, in place of the injured Matthew Hoggard.
Chanderpaul is missing for the Windies due to a knee injury and is replaced by Sylvester Joseph.
England: Cook, Strauss, Vaughan, Pietersen, Collingwood, Bell, Prior, Plunkett, Sidebottom, Harmison, Panesar
West Indies: Gayle, Ganga, Smith, Sarwan, Joseph, Morton, Bravo, Ramdin, Powell, Taylor, Collymore

Sounds good so far, weather is a bit dodgy though for the weekend.

Nice return for Vaughan, if he could just maintain his fitness he would easily be one of Englands best test batsmen.

England only need to take 9 wickets in this innings as Sarwan is out until tomorrow if he returns at all.

2 more down! Harmison and Plunkett again.

The Windies still need 276 to avoid the follow-on.
