West Indies were 144 for three at tea on day four of the second Test with Ridley Jacobs 62 and Shivnaraine Chanderpaul 24 at the crease. The hosts, who were in a deficit of 111 runs in the first innings, now lead by 33 runs. With skipper Brian Lara moving down the order Jacobs and Chanderpaul steadied the ship after the West Indies were reduced to 56/3.
Earlier in the day England, who resumed on 300/6, lost their last four wickets for four runs to be bowled out for 319.
The Windies had a disastrous start to their second innings as Simon Jones dismissed Chris Gayle 16, Devon Smith 17 and Ramnaresh Sarwan 13.
Outplayed for the first three days, West Indies hit back strongly in the first hour to at least give themselves a chance of saving the match.
Graham Thorpe and Ashley Giles took the lead past the 100 mark but Giles was the first man to go when he was caught by Smith at second slip off Pedro Collins.

West Indies:
208 C Gayle 62; S Harmison 6/61 038; vs 144/3 Jacobs 62 no; S Jones 3/38 vs England: 319 all out Thorpe 90, Butcher 61, Hussain 58; Collins 4/71, Best 3/71.
