Swann strikes for England

England off-spinner Graeme Swann claimed two wickets on the third morning of their crucial Test against West Indies at the Kensington Oval.

England endured a fruitless first hour until the introduction of Swann, who struck with just his second ball from the Joel Garner End to dismiss opener Devon Smith lbw. Smith opted to challenge umpire Aleem Dar's decision but after a review by Australian official Daryl Harper, Dar confirmed his original verdict.

Swann won another lbw appeal against Ryan Hinds to leave the hosts on 163 for three at lunch, replying to England's 600 for six declared.
