Live Scores-England take charge in 3rd test

Third Test, Old Trafford, day two (lunch): England 370 v West Indies 17-1
Here are the Live Scores
Steve Harmison had Daren Ganga lbw in a wild first over to leave West Indies 17-1 at lunch after England totalled 370 on day two of the third Test.

Earlier, Ian Bell fell three short of his century but England eked out 74 vital runs after resuming on 296-7.

Bell gloved Corey Collymore (3-60) behind, while Steve Harmison (18) fell in similar fashion to Fidel Edwards who had peppered him with short deliveries.

Ryan Sidebottom and Monty Panesar rode their luck to put on 32 at the end.

Bell saw little of the strike early on and must have watched with admiration as Harmison repelled Edwards and Jerome Taylor.

The tail-ender was struck on the helmet by a Taylor delivery and was almost bowled by a full-toss from Edwards (3-94), who swung the ball at pace.

In between that and several other body blows, he played his shots but it was no surprise when his 31-ball resistance was ended by another brutish delivery.

It was relatively quiet at the other end for Bell, but he moved into the 90s with two fours off Edwards, the second an imperious straight drive.

He showed plenty of confidence in Sidebottom, who had only one first-class fifty to his name, before becoming the second to fall when a seventh Test century was in sight.

Collymore produced a beauty which lifted and caught his glove on the way to keeper Denesh Ramdin and Sidebottom could have gone in the next over when he skied a hook off Bravo to extra-cover.

Taylor spilled a sitter and there was more frustration for the Windies when another top-edge flew over the keeper and he heaved Bravo over deep mid-wicket.

Panesar joined in the fun with a flat-footed thrash over extra-cover off Bravo and thump over mid-wicket off Collymore before Edwards returned to knock out Sidebottom's leg-stump.

The situation was set up for Harmison, who destroyed Pakistan on this ground last year.

But his opening gambits were embarrassing, with five wides and four byes coming from appallingly directed deliveries, until he struck gold with his first on-target ball.

If he can regain any semblance of control, there should be plenty of joy for him on a surface which remains lively and is likely to offer assistance to spinner Panesar.
