Collingwood marks 50th appearance

Paul Collingwood celebrated his 50th NatWest Series appearance by helping dismantle West Indies' batting at Bristol.

England all-rounder Collingwood is the first man to reach a half-century in 10 summers of such series and marked the occasion with three wickets as the tourists crashed to 160 all out.

Stuart Broad weighed in with four for 46, claiming the first two and final two wickets to fall, as Chris Gayle's team were dismissed inside 39 overs after being inserted.

Collingwood finished with figures of 6-0-16-3, his trio of successes beginning with the scalp of Dwayne Bravo, whose half-century was a rare show of defiance.

Bravo was undone by a full delivery which nipped back through a push down the ground and Denesh Ramdin was similarly foxed by Collingwood's length - trapped leg before playing off the back foot.

Then, after Jerome Taylor perished to a comical run-out, Collingwood hit the top of middle stump to dismiss Kieron Pollard with the first ball back after drinks.

Broad's return from the Ashley Down end wrapped up the innings as Sulieman Benn and Ravi Rampaul displayed a lack of ability against the short ball.
