The tourists resume the final day of the second npower Test at Chester-le-Street still trailing by 144 on 115 for three having been forced to follow on after 10 wickets fell on Sunday.

"We're very pleased at picking up 10 wickets on what is still a pretty decent batting track - another seven wickets is certainly in our sights," admitted Nottinghamshire seamer Broad. "There's no rush to get them all before lunch - it's still a wicket you need to be pretty patient on - but if the weather stays right for us, we have to be ruthless enough to take our chance."

Lancashire seamer James Anderson took the plaudits on Sunday by claiming the sixth five-wicket haul of his career to dismiss the tourists for 310 and allow England to enforce the follow-on 259 runs ahead.

But Broad also played a key role in dismissing Ramnaresh Sarwan, who hit a superb 100, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul before lunch, which gave England the momentum to take charge of the match.

"We bowled well in partnerships, and Jimmy's 'five-for' was absolutely fantastic," said Broad.

"I've found throughout the winter I've managed to tie Chanderpaul up a little bit around the wicket so it was always the plan to do that again if the ball was not swinging.

"When Sarwan got into the 90s he was playing really well, and it was quite hard to unsettle him. Straussy and I had a little chat and he said 'how are your energy levels?' I said 'fine', and he said maybe try a bit of bouncer warfare with him and try to get him to play a bit of a false shot."

Despite their precarious position, West Indies remain confident of saving the Test and taking some momentum into this week's one-day series starting at Headingley on Thursday.

"I think we have an outstanding chance (of saving the game)," claimed Sarwan, whose century was his fourth in seven Tests against England. "I don't think there's too much happening with the wicket. It's only when it gets a bit overcast that the ball tends to do a bit and if we apply ourselves there's a good chance to save the game."
