After 400 no, Lara to take field today

Corey Collymore, who bowled the penultimate over of England’s innings on Sunday when Chris Read lashed two sixes and a four, could be the other change to the line-up.

Ian Bradshaw, a capable left-handed lower-order batsman and clever medium-fast bowler, could fill his spot and add further variety to the attack.

England will be looking for victories over the weekend to take them a little closer to an unprecedented one-day series win to follow their first Test series victory in the Caribbean for 36 years.

Vaughan felt they left it too late in Guyana and put themselves under enormous pressure towards the end.

Fast bowler James Anderson, the forgotten man of England cricket in recent weeks, is likely to squeeze his way into one or both of the weekend matches.

However, former West Indies batsman Bryan Davis, head curator at Queen’s Park Oval, is worried the outfield, which had been underwater, could prevent play over the weekend if there is more rain.
