A stroll for England here at Bristol. West Indies threw in the towel when they lost Chanderpaul and since then England have dominated. The chase wasn't very entertaining but it didn't really matter in the end. West Indies managed to keep tbings tight. Too bad they didn't have a cushion of runs to work with.
I suppose Collingwood will take the Man of the Match award.
There was an error with the scoring but it has been rectified. Apologies for that.
Here's the presentation.
Gayle: "We have to put this behind us. We've stressed on putting runs on the board. We may have to change things a bit. It was a decent wicket and England utilised it better. Edgbaston is a final for us. There's no two ways about it."
Strauss: "We put them under pressure right from ball one. We'd like to finish off the series. Broad and Anderson are chatting a lot together. In ODIs taking the pace off the ball is important. I'm happy with the balance with the side. Things are going really nicely here."
Colly is the Man of the Match: "I was trying to leep it as straight as possible and it nipped around a bit. We had the better of the conditions today. People are enjoying the cricket."
Thanks for joining us today. But there's the IPL to keep you occupied. Deccan have posted 143. Have fun. Cheers guys!

Chris Gayle's stated lack of interest in the traditional form of the game has obviously been adopted as the team mantra
Collingwood stars in comfortable win
England made easy work of a shambolic West Indies side as they coasted to a six-wicket victory at Bristol. A change of format and having the sun on their backs did nothing to improve the visitors' performance
