England scent victory
Durham, Reuters:


England were on the cusp of victory at tea on the fifth day of the final Test against West Indies despite Shivnarine Chanderpaul's lone resistance on Tuesday.
England, set 110 to win and wrap up a 3-0 series triumph, were 24 for one with Andrew Strauss (10) and Michael Vaughan (5) at the crease. Alastair Cook was caught at second slip off Daren Powell for seven.
Left-arm spinner Monty Panesar helped bowl out West Indies in their second innings with five for 46, while fast bowler Steve Harmison took two for 92.
The resilient Chanderpaul was last man out -- bowled by Panesar -- for 70.
Chanderpaul batted for 17 hours and 38 minutes until his dismissal and is the only batsman ever to have gone unbeaten for more than 1,000 minutes on three occasions. He holds the world record with an unbeaten sequence of 1,513 minutes in 2002 against India.
West Indies were still hanging on at lunch and harbouring slim hopes of escaping with a draw.
But when Dwayne Bravo miscued a lofted straight drive and was caught at mid-off to Panesar for 43, the innings gradually folded around the seemingly immovable Chanderpaul.
Marlon Samuels was caught at slip to Panesar, who then produced the classical left-arm spinner's delivery that pitched on middle stump and clipped off to bowl Denesh Ramdin.
Powell was caught off Harmison, who then shattered Fidel Edwards' stumps. Panesar is the top wicket-taker in the series.
