England star batsman Pietersen was bounced out twice in the 60-run win for Michael Vaughan's men at Old Trafford, which put the hosts into an unassailable 2-0 lead.

"We're pleased to get Kevin Pietersen out any time and obviously the cheaper the better," said Australian Moore. "I am sure he will now come back with something - he will be watchful - and that is what class cricketers do."

He added: "If they get out in certain ways, they come back and take the challenge up.

"We can't rest on our laurels and think 'this is the end for Kevin Pietersen'. We've got to keep watching him play and see if we can adapt as quickly as he can adapt.

"We have always had good plans, it has just been whether we have been able to implement them or not.

"Just recently, our plans have been working because we've been implementing them."

Emerging all-rounder Darren Sammy, 23, is a doubt for the tourists after he picked up a groin strain batting on the final day of the loss at Old Trafford on Monday.

Sammy, the first St Lucian to represent West Indies, claimed eight wickets in the match, including seven for 66 in the second innings, and appeared accomplished with the bat, hitting 25 in the chase of 455.

"It would be disappointing after he had such a good role in his first Test match," Moore said of Sammy's potential absence. It will leave a bit of a gap after what he has done for us - but I am very hopeful he will play."
