England pile on the runs

PORT OF SPAIN Monty Panesar gave England a much-needed breakthrough in their bid for a series-levelling win over West Indies, after Paul Collingwood and Matt Prior hit hundreds to bat them into a formidable position in the fifth and final Test on Saturday. Spinner Panesar removed Devon Smith for 28, as West Indies finished on 92 for one, replying to England's first innings total of 546 for six declared when stumps were drawn on the second day at Queen's Park Oval. West Indies, 1-0 up in the series, will begin the third day 454 runs behind. Collingwood hit his second hundred of the series with 161, while Prior's career-best, undefeated 131 allowed the pair to establish a new England record of 218 for the fifth wicket in Tests against West Indies. Collingwood reached his ninth Test hundred from 206 balls in the over before lunch, when he paddled Brendan Nash to deep fine leg for a single, then Prior got to his second Test hundred from 156 balls in the last hour before tea, when he cut Ryan Hinds through backward point for two.
