Cook goes early

Opener Cook was undone by a beauty from Daren Powell which angled across the left-hander, pitching on off-stump and doing enough to take the edge on its way through to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin.

Having extended the sequence of batting first to all five matches, after captain Andrew Strauss won the toss, England took drinks on 39 for one.

Powell, handed the new ball because of Jerome Taylor's absence, also induced an edge from Owais Shah in his initial burst - but the ball dropped short of Chris Gayle at first slip, emphasising the slow and low nature of the surface.

Strauss continued to lead from the front with the bat, cutting two boundaries in Powell's first over from the newly-crowned Brian Lara pavilion end.

England handed a debut to fast bowler Amjad Khan and recalled left-arm spinner Monty Panesar, as they reverted to a five-man attack.

That meant Ravi Bopara was dropped, despite hitting a maiden hundred in the drawn fourth Test.

Danish-born Khan joined the tour alongside Bopara just a fortnight ago as joint cover for injured all-rounder Andrew Flintoff and impressed in claiming five wickets in the two-day match in Barbados.

He took the place of left-armer Ryan Sidebottom, while first-choice wicketkeeper Matt Prior displaced Tim Ambrose behind the stumps.

England need to win the final match of the series to secure a 1-1 draw and a share of the Wisden Trophy.
