Resuming the second day on a promising 200 for three, England were looking to press on with opener Cook attempting to turn his unbeaten 102 into a big total.

But Cook added only three runs before he was dismissed by Jerome Taylor, while Paul Collingwood was given two early reprieves inside the first half-hour's play as England struggled to reach 222 for four.

Collingwood, unbeaten on 21 overnight, scored two early boundaries but was fortunate not to become Taylor's first victim of the Test when he slashed at the next delivery only for Daren Ganga to miss a regulation catch in the gully.

Having been given that reprieve on 31, he added just one more to his total before he escaped again, this time shouldering arms to a Taylor inswinger - but umpire Asad Rauf gave him the benefit of the doubt and allowed him to escape.

Taylor's frustration quickly turned to joy in his next over, though, when Cook mistimed an attempted cut shot and picked out the safe hands of Dwayne Bravo at point for 105 and give West Indies a deserved early wicket.
