Sidebottom leads England charge

17 January 2007
Left-armer Sidebottom claimed a handful as England once again dismantled the tourists' tail in a hurry.
Only resistance from number 11 Corey Collymore held things up in conjunction with the in-form Shivnarine Chanderpaul as West Indies progressed to 254 for nine.
An horrific first-innings collapse at Old Trafford last week - when six wickets went for 13 runs - effectively handed England an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
It was Chanderpaul's continued good form which held the Windies together as he constructed his second successive hundred, and 16th of his Test career.
Left-hander Chanderpaul, whose Test career began with four half-centuries in as many outings against England, got to his landmark alongside last man Collymore when he cracked a 14th boundary, a ferocious cut off Steve Harmison.
Nottinghamshire's Sidebottom, playing in his fourth Test, made a crucial breakthrough just before lunch on the third day as Marlon Samuels was bowled around his legs.
Three successes in four overs left the innings on the brink of termination as Sidebottom accounted for Denesh Ramdin and Fidel Edwards either side of Daren Powell skying a Harmison bouncer.
Earlier, Matthew Hoggard moved into sixth place in England's list of Test wicket-takers with an early-morning breakthrough.
Yorkshire's Hoggard removed West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo in the fifth full over of the day to take his Test tally to 237 victims - overtaking Alec Bedser in the process.
