Windies v England

ST GEORGE'S, Grenada (CMC):

West Indies head into the second Test against England - starting here today - confident they can build on their impressive showing in the opening match in Antigua and come away with a victory.

Against all odds, West Indies managed to pull off a draw in the first Test at the Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium in Antigua last week, after being set 438 to win in just over four sessions.

The Windies have made one change to their squad for the second Test that will be played at the Grenada National Stadium here - drafting in leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo for left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn, who was ineffective during the Antigua contest.

Bishoo was dominant during the just-concluded regional first-class season where he picked up 61 wickets - the second-highest tally in the competition - at an outstanding average of 17.
