Live text - West Indies v England

Fifth Test, Trinidad (day three):
West Indies 92-1 v England 546-6 dec (close)

England will strive to make inroads into the West Indies batting on day three of the final Test in Trinidad.

Wickets have been hard to come by for the tourists throughout the series, and only one was taken on day two as the home side closed 454 behind at 92-1.

There were some slight cracks but the pitch remained in excellent order, and with the sun beating down in Port of Spain, prospects remain for batting.

Windies skipper Chris Gayle hit six fours and two sixes to reach 49.

1335: Afternoon, everyone. After enjoying three weeks on holiday in the Windies (watching the abandoned Test and the rearranged Test in Antigua, plus the run-fest in Barbados), it's back to the pleasure of your company on the live text front. I say "holiday", as the TMS Blog from that fateful Friday the 13th at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will attest...

Anyway, the match situation after two days of play in Trinidad is that West Indies are 92-1 in reply to England's 546-6 declared. Windies captain Chris Gayle is at the crease, along with nightwatchman Daren Powell.
