England v West Indies - Trent Bridge

One-day internationals England
comment on the article
Rival captains Chris Gayle and Paul Collingwood

Paul Collingwood hopes to collect his first trophy as England one-day captain when they meet West Indies in the final match of their one-day series.

The game at Trent Bridge is set up perfectly for an exciting finale with the series level at 1-1.

"We have spoken about having a ruthless edge...hopefully we won't give West Indies an inch," Collingwood said.

West Indies are confident star batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul will play despite an ankle injury.

Monty surely enjoys a share of the fun. He does take his batsmanship quite seriously. Did you see him providing a photo-op with a still pose after that straight drive?laugh Way to go Panesar!

Why isn't Ravi Bopara in the one day squad? He showed his potential in the world cup. It seems a bit of an odd choice to go for a Yardy or a Mascarenhas over Bopara.

Well done, WIndies - winning back some respect... ok

Might this be the beginning of a new (and improved) West Indies side?

England tried hard, but no joy for them this time erm
