Get Ball by Ball Commentary of England vs West Indies 1st ODI 2007

An apt way to end another poor batting effort from West Indies as England take a 1-0 series lead with a 79-run win. It was a fine all-round bowling display, led by Anderson, Plunkett and Broad, backed up by some fine fielding. The batting was less convincing, but in the end they had more than enough. For West Indies it was another tough day with only Fidel Edwards and Shivnarine Chanderpaul able to hold their heads high.

The series now moves to Edgbaston, in Birmingham, on Wednesday and we'll bring you all the action from there. Until then it's goodbye from Andrew McGlashan and Andrew Miller. Thanks for following the match with us. Goodnight.

39.5

Collingwood to Edwards, 1 run, OUT, what a farcical way to finish...Edwards swings over James Anderson at midwicket, completes one and begins to race back for a second, but Chanderpaul doesn't want it and Edwards has no chance of getting back as Collingwood collects the throw and breaks the stumps.
