Anderson on song as tourists follow on

Anderson's sixth five-wicket haul at this level allowed England to enforce the follow-on at Riverside, and the Windies then reached 115 for three at their second attempt - on the back of a quickfire 50 from captain Chris Gayle.

This match will nonetheless almost certainly result in the hosts regaining the Wisden Trophy, either 1-0 or 2-0.

West Indies' first-innings resistance came primarily from Ramnaresh Sarwan (100) and Denesh Ramdin (55), as well as some entertaining tail-end impudence from Sulieman Benn.

But Anderson (five for 87) stuck largely to his task and prevailed in the end with some well-directed pace and occasional swing.

Sarwan's fourth hundred in seven Tests against these opponents was another sturdy effort, but the tourists needed him to dig in again to keep England at bay.

Anderson and his fellow seamers Stuart Broad and Graham Onions shared the wickets - with one run-out - after the Windies had resumed this morning on 94 for three.

When they batted again, Gayle (54) blazed his way to a 39-ball half-century which included six fours and two sixes.

But like a finger injury for wicketkeeper Matt Prior - which was later cleared on X-ray - the scores on the board were of only temporary concern for England, Durham seamer Onions taking two wickets in three balls to put his team back on course.
