Captain Paul Collingwood made 27 and Dimitri Mascarenhas shared an unbroken 69 in 36 balls with Shah after England had lost three wickets in 14 balls.

Chris Gayle fired 61 from 37 balls and Marlon Samuels hit three big sixes but England limited the Windies valiantly.

The match was played on the same strip as used for Thursday's clash and Gayle hoped his batsmen would use it with similarly good effect when he won the toss again. Gayle himself played a curious innings in the first match, opting to leave the first three balls, and sat in disbelief with his pads on when he was out.
But he was a different man a day later, driving the opening ball of the match from Ryan Sidebottom through the covers for four and sending the next ball to a similar area for three more.

He had scored 33 after four overs by which time partner Lendl Simmons had yet to get off the mark. Gayle adopted a bold approach after choosing to bat first

Simmons and debutant Austin Richards came into the side as Devon Smith and Shiv Chanderpaul, who scored 102 between them on Thursday, were rested.

The newcomers let the innings stall somewhat, and it needed some typically robust hitting from Samuels to revive it.

Although he failed to launch the ball out of the ground this time, there were still some memorable moments, even though he might have gone caught behind for single figures when only bowler Stuart Broad made a tentative appeal.

One hit disappeared into the second tier behind the bowler and another was so straight it ricocheted off the top of the sightscreen.

But England's performance in the field was a notable improvement on the first match, fuller length and variations of pace from the bowlers backed up by sharp out cricket and safe catching.
