Pietersen resumes on 34 not out today with England 82 runs ahead of their hosts and with seven second-innings wickets intact. With time running out in the contest and Andrew Strauss' team needing to bowl out the West Indians to level things at 1-1, Pietersen's ability to score quickly will be crucial.

"We have to go in believing we can do it," said off-spinner Graeme Swann. "We need to be as positive as possible, hopefully get a score on the board and create some doubts in the minds of the West Indian batsmen."

He added: "We got blitzed out in Jamaica on a wicket which was probably better than the one we are now playing on.

"We will be hoping for a magic effort from somebody.

"We've toiled hard in this series and have not got a lot to show for it, so we probably feel due one or two magic sessions."
