And Windies coach David Moore urged the other members of the squad to look, listen and learn from the shining example of the 32-year-old run machine.

Chanderpaul suffered an ankle ligament injury midway through his superb unbeaten 116 which helped the tourists win by 61 runs at Edgbaston on Wednesday to level the best of three series, and while he was unable to field during the England innings he has responded to treatment over the last 48 hours.

Chanderpaul averaged 148.66 in the Test series and has yet to be dismissed in the current one-dayers after scoring an unbeaten 53 in the opener at Lord's last Sunday.

Moore said: "The physios have worked very hard on Shiv's injury over the last couple of days and he is having a hit in the nets later so we are very hopeful that he will be right for Saturday.

"We are very keen to have him play. It has been very advantageous for us to have Shiv playing in the role that he has played. He is very versatile, has played exceptionally well in the Test matches and now to come out in the Twenty20s and one-dayers and also do well is fantastic.

"It just shows the quality of the player. It is no fluke. We know he works very hard at his game and he is a true professional.

Moore added: "The good thing about Chanderpaul is that he is always available to talk to players. He never cuts himself off. I've encouraged all the players, and not just the young boys, to speak to him.

"You don't have to talk to him. You only have to look at how he trains and you will understand why he scores runs.

"Obviously, he has got a level of skill to begin with but he is very committed, hits a lot of cricket balls and works very hard at his game."
