It took a measured stand from sixth-wicket pair Ian Bell and Matt Prior to carry the hosts to 223 for five, after the tourists arguably enjoyed their best day of the series with the ball.

Bell brought up the 50 partnership with an uppercut over point for four off recalled fast bowler Fidel Edwards. He had moved to 43 not out alongside Prior, unbeaten on 27, after the duo came together on the back of four wickets falling for 49 runs in the middle session.

England lost captain Michael Vaughan and star batsman Kevin Pietersen in quick succession during that period.

West Indies seamer Corey Collymore sent back the under-fire Vaughan with one which nipped back through an attempted drive.

He then claimed Pietersen's scalp when a hook sailed straight to deep square-leg.

Debutant Darren Sammy curtailed Alastair Cook's latest half-century at international level when a cut was well held low down at point by Dwayne Bravo, while Paul Collingwood succumbed lbw to a marginal decision in favour of Jerome Taylor.
