West Indies duo frustrate England

Fifth Test, Trinidad (day three, close):
England 546-6 v West Indies 349-4

The left-handers saved their side from the threat of the follow-on

A gritty unbroken stand of 146 between Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Brendan Nash took West Indies to 349-4, 197 behind after three days of the final Test.

Resuming 454 adrift at 92-1, they lost run machine Ramnaresh Sarwan (14) who was debutant Amjad Khan's maiden scalp.

Chris Gayle reached his 10th Test ton with a quick single but in doing so injured his hamstring and retired hurt.

The left-handers batted for 52 overs to avoid the follow-on and further dent England hopes of saving the series.

More to follow.
