England have mercy at tea

England ground on relentlessly to reach 569 for six declared at tea on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies.Matt Prior and Paul Collingwood shared a fifth-wicket partnership of 94, the former punching eight crisp fours in his eighth Test half-century before falling for 63.Collingwood finished on 60 not out and Stuart Broad on 28.Kevin Pietersen was also dismissed in the afternoon session, caught by Lendl Simmons at backward point after skying an attempted drive off left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn on 49.Prior tried to lift Simmons over mid-on but offered Benn a simple catch to give the bowler his first Test wicket.Alastair Cook's marathon eight-hour innings ended just before lunch on 160 when he got a leading edge to a ball from Benn and spooned an easy catch to Chris Gayle at short extra cover.England nightwatchman James Anderson was bowled by Fidel Edwards for 14, some reward for the fast bowler who earlier in a fiery spell had the same batsman dropped by wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin and caught in the slips off a no ball.England lead the two-Test series 1-0. Day two of the current match at Chester-le-Street was called off for rain.
