West Indies 392 v England 318 & 51 - West Indies win by an innings and 23 runs.

England's batting collapses were long considered a running joke during the 1980s and 1990s, but the 2009 England team have written a new chapter in the history of English batting incompetence at Sabina Park. Starting the second innings 74 behind, England have suffered an innings defeat after a fine display from the West Indies bowlers and a shocking one by the England batsmen.

Jerome Taylor ripped apart the England top-order, claiming figures of 5/11. Sulieman Benn also claimed four victims as England seriously threatened their lowest ever Test total, 45 set against Australia at Sydney in 1887. Andrew Flintoff and Ryan Sidebottom guided England past that mark during their eighth-wicket partnership before Sidebottom was given out lbw off Benn to leave England 50/8. Andrew Flintoff and Steve Harmison soon followed as the tourists posted their third lowest total in Test history.

Resuming after lunch on 11/2, Kevin Pietersen scored only one run before Taylor's first ball of the session ripped out his off-stump. In fairness to Pietersen, it was a fabulous delivery from the West Indian paceman, full and straight with just enough late swing to beat England's star batsman. Newly appointed England captain Andrew Strauss soon followed his predecessor back to the pavilion for nine, before Collingwood played on to his stumps after scoring just 1.

Jermoe Taylor's latest victim was Matt Prior, beaten by a wonderful off-cutter to take out the off-stump with the England wicketkeeper on 0. Stuart Broad was the third England batsman out for 0, turning a Sulieman Benn delivery to Xavier Marshall at short leg which left England on 26/7 before Flintoff and Sidebottom stopped England making ignominous history.

England had earlier lost Alastair Cook for 0 and Ian Bell for 4 before lunch to complete a miserable match for the under-pressure England pair. Jerome Taylor lured Cook into a nervous prod at the ball and Devon Smith took a juggled catch at second slip after fumbling his first attempt. Just before lunch, Ian Bell played a poor attempted cut to a turning delivery from Sulieman Benn and bottom edged the ball for Ramdin to take a smart catch.

Stuart Broad had dragged England right back into the match with his first Test five-for, ending with figures of 5/85. The last wicket was taken by Steve Harmison as Daren Powell was controversially given out caught behind for nine. Powell referred the on-field decision by Tony Hill but Daryl Harper did not advise that the decision shoud be overturned, despite TV replays suggesting clear daylight between bat and ball.

The first wicket came in the fifth over of the fourth day as Broad claimed the wicket of Sulieman Benn. Benn played a false shot as the ball moved across him and he guided the ball to a grateful Alastair Cook at point. He then removed danger man Brendan Nash, caught behind by Matt Prior for 55.

Nash had earlier brought up his 50 in the first over of the day from Stuart Broad, guiding the ball to the third man boundary. This was his third 50 in his first three Tests. He has yet to convert one to a century.
