Chanderpaul and Nash foil England
England wobbled to 80 for three in their second innings, after
Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Brendan Nash collected hundreds to keep West
Indies in the fifth and final Test on Monday.
England lost the wickets of their captain Andrew Strauss, stylish
No.3 Owais Shah, and their vice captain Alastair Cook in a dramatic hour
and 10 minutes before stumps were drawn on the penultimate day at
Queen's Park Oval.
The visitors had earlier gained a lead of just two runs, after
Chanderpaul scored his 21st Test hundred, an undefeated 147, and Nash
made his maiden Test hundred of 109, as West Indies were dismissed for
544, replying to England's first innings total of 546 for six declared.
Chasing quick runs before the close in a desperate bid for a series-levelling
victory, England soon ran into trouble.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle may have a hamstring strain, but he
introduced himself to bowl his uncomplicated off-spin after four overs,
and held a return catch to dismiss Strauss for 14. Shah was fortunate
Lionel Baker missed a return chance, when he got a leading edge on
flick, but two balls later, his luck ran out, caught behind for one
giving a thin under-edge chasing a wide half-volley from the same
bowler.
