Having struggled to break the tourists' resistance in the previous Test at Old Trafford, England named fit-again seamer Matthew Hoggard as a replacement for the wayward Liam Plunkett.

And he struck up a successful partnership with Ryan Sidebottom, his former Yorkshire team-mate, as West Indies slumped to 92 for four at tea.

Hoggard's presence seemed to relax the attack and instead of the wayward displays which earmarked the previous two Tests, they immediately tested the tourists.

In conditions ideal for swing bowling, Sidebottom struck with the first delivery of the day, which had been delayed until 2pm by a wet outfield saturated by the constant rain over the previous three days.

West Indies captain Daren Ganga, who scored only five runs in two innings during the previous Test defeat at Old Trafford, clipped off his legs straight into the chest of Alastair Cook at short leg.

Chris Gayle played aggressively, driving down the ground for four and then clipping over mid-wicket for six during one over from Sidebottom, before Hoggard trapped him leg before.

It took Hoggard to 236 Test victims and into joint sixth on England's list of leading wicket-takers alongside Alec Bedser.

Devon Smith became England's third victim of the day when he was bowled by Sidebottom, and Runako Morton was the fourth, chipping a Steve Harmison delivery straight to Sidebottom at mid-off.

But Shivnarine Chanderpaul (37 not out) stood firm at the other end, becoming only the seventh West Indies' batsman to score 7,000 Test runs.
