At the end of day 3, Sarwan got out on 94 then no other player could resist against the English bowlers and the whole team got out at 285. And England openers came to bat their second innings. Just before the day end England team has to lose their first wicket and that wicket is of their Captain Andrew Strauss. He got out on 14 runs, and after that Cook and Anderson managed to end the day without having any more loss. At the day end, the cricket scores for England team was 31/1. Then the turning day came, day 4 of second test match between West Indies and England, Cook with Anderson came to crease and resumed their second innings. But just after confident start Anderson got out on the ball of Powel after scoring just 20 runs and total of England team at that time were just 69.
After the dismissal of Anderson, OA Shah came to crease but he couldn't perform up to the mark and got out after scoring 14 runs. And at that time England have to bear another loss. KP Pietersen, the man of crises, once again came to crease to defend the shaking building of England Team but he also failed in front of West Indian Bowlers. Just scoring 32 runs, which were much less then the runs that were expected from him, he returned back to pavilion.
Now the burden was on the shoulders of Collingwood and Andrew Prior. Collingwood tried his best but he got out on spin ball of Hinds, he scored 34 runs. Then SCJ Broad came to crease but as soon as he came to bat, just after he left by getting run out. And England batting line was shaking badly and the wickets are falling by regular intervals but England team is satisfied as they have to score as much runs as they can by consuming less balls. So that they can give huge target to West Indies and have enough time to get them out. In this way England can win the test math for leveling the series by 1-1.
England declared their innings after the dismissal of Andrew Flintoff who didn't score any run. England's cricket results at the time of declaration was 221 and they gave the target of 503 runs for win to West Indies. West Indian batsmen Chris Gayle and DS Smith came to crease to chase the score of 503. Both openers responded very well and gave an opening stand of 59 runs. And at that stage West Indies have to bear their first loss in the form of dismissal of DS Smith.
When the total reached up at 81 Chris gayle, Captain of West Indian team got out on the score of 46. Sarwan came to bat after the dismissal of Smith and still yet on the crease. But the Hinds, who replace Gayle, got out by scoring 6 runs. Then he was replace S.Chanderpaul, known as the wall of West Indian Batting line up, who is still batting on 5 runs. These two are the last pillars of West Indian batting lien up and if English bowlers got rid from any one of them then they are surely at arm's length from their victory.
