PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) - Another day that started with much hope ended in much despair for West Indies on Monday. Another inexplicable batting collapse behind mean, purposeful England bowling led by Simon Jones has left Brian Lara's side facing the spectre of another heavy defeat in the second cricket Test at Queen's Park Oval, after they were bowled out for 209 in their second innings to set the visitors the modest target of 99 to win. There was a dramatic transformation in the mood among West Indian supporters that had been lifted when their side captured the last four England wickets for four runs in the first hour to restrict the visitors first innings total to 319 and a lead of 111. The stage was, indeed, set for Lara and his men to produce something special to make the last two days memorable. But Jones became England's latest wrecking ball and he captured a Test best five wickets for 57 runs from 15 overs to send West Indies sliding down the chute. "It was the first time on tour that I had some rhythm and I relaxed much, much more and ran in to bowl without trying to put too much pressure on myself," Jones told reporters at the post play news conference. "I do not think I was successful in the earlier matches on tour because I was just coming back from a long layoff with injury and it felt like I was starting over again. It felt a little strange to be back in the team, but this match has helped me to relax much, much more. "It was great to get the fifth wicket. I had a chat with England coach Duncan Fletcher and he said that we should bowl full and straight...The first ball to Pedro Collins, I nearly got through, but he stuck it out for another few, so it was nice to get him because I think Matthew Hoggard would have cleaned him up. "I think the bowlers are working well and the confidence is high in the team and you could tell by the way the boys batted towards the end of the day. It's good to have such a confident state of mind. It would have been nice to have knocked off the runs and have a day off, but we only need a few runs." The wickets of Marcus Trescothick, bowled by Tino Best for four, and England captain Michael Vaughan, lbw to Adam Sanford for 23, were consolatory concessions to West Indies as England reached 71 for two when bad light stopped cricket 11 overs early. It all means that Vaughan and his side stand on the verge of creating history and another long, cherished West Indies cricket record stands on the brink of extinction. Barring exceptionally unkind weather or some other irregular occurrence, victory on Tuesday will give England an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the four-Test series and virtually bring to an end West Indies' 36-year reign over them in the Caribbean. Ridley Jacobs and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, widely regarded as West Indies' two most reliable batsmen in the face of adversity, scored more than 20 as most, if not all, of the batsmen perished to ill-conceived strokes. ELEVATION Their stunning elevation in the batting order ahead of Lara was the subject of much debate among knowledgeable observers, but Jacobs batted typically forthright to smote 11 boundaries in the top score of 70 from 92 balls in just over 2-1/2 hours and Chanderpaul supported with two fours in 42 off 147 balls in close to 3-1/2 hours. The two left-handers added 102 for the fourth wicket that added substance to the innings that looked in ruins at 56 for three just after the lunch interval and had brought plenty of optimism to West Indians that their side may finally offer England some competition over the last two days. Jones had removed openers Chris Gayle, bowled for 16, and Devon Smith, caught at mid-off for 17, before to leave West Indies 52 for two at lunch, before having vice-captain Ramnaresh Sarwan lbw for the third time in the series with the third ball after the interval. Vaughan later brought Jones back for a second spell and Jacobs fending a short ball was caught at backward point to usher Lara to the wicket to the usual accompaniment of wild cheering. The England captain, however, had another trick up his sleeve and brought Steve Harmison back into the attack and the fast bowler responded with the wicket of Lara trapped lbw on the backfoot to a pitched up ball for eight. The last seven West Indies wickets, including Jacobs, Chanderpaul and Lara, fell for 51 runs in the space of 16.3 overs. Earlier, Graham Thorpe failed by 10 runs to reach his 13th Test hundred when he became one of two wickets to left-arm medium-fast bowler Pedro Collins, who was the most successful West Indies bowler with four for 71 from 29 overs. Best ended with three for 71 from 28 overs and Chris Gayle bowled Simon Jones and Steve Harmison to end with two for 20 from 16.5 overs. SOURCE: WINDIESCRICKET.COM
