Swann bags two wickets for England

Two wickets - both to Graeme Swann - set England's pulse racing before lunch in the fourth Test against West Indies on Saturday.

Swann removed Devon Smith for 55 and Ryan Hinds for 15 to leave West Indies 163 for three, replying to England's first innings total of 600 for six declared, at lunch on the third day at Kensington Oval.

At the interval, Ramnaresh Sarwan was unbeaten on 81 - eyeing his third hundred of the series - and Shivnarine Chanderpaul was not out on four.

Swann has been England's most successful bowler with two wickets for 38 runs from 14 overs.

The off-spinner struck with his third ball after Sarwan and Smith batted through the first hour to add 108 for the second wicket.

England started with Stuart Broad from the Malcolm Marshall End at the southern side of the ground and Ryan Sidebottom from the opposite Joel Garner End.

Neither could make a breakthrough and both batsmen took the opportunity to pass 50 - Sarwan for the fourth time in the series, when he drove Broad to mid-off for a single, and Smith for the fourth time in his career, when he edged Sidebottom between the slips to third man for his eighth and final boundary.

But Swann had Smith adjudged lbw playing forward defensively to leave West Indies 121 for two.

Swann continued to wheel away from the Joel Garner End on the northern side of the ground, while England captain Andrew Strauss alternated between Stuart Broad and James Anderson.

Swann again provided England with the breakthrough, when left-hander Ryan Hinds was also adjudged lbw playing forward defensively about five minute before the interval.

England trail in the five-Test series 0-1, following an innings and 23-run defeat in the opening Test at Sabina Park in Jamaica, the abandonment of the second Test at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua, and a draw in the third Test at the Antigua Recreation Ground.

The fifth and final Test of the series starts next Friday at Queen's Park Oval in the Trinidad capital of Port of Spain.
