England pacer James Anderson gets past West Indies opener Devon Smith's defence on the fourth day of the second Test yesterday.</td></tr></tbody></table>That left them still needing a further 144 runs just to make England bat again tomorrow on the final day, with the hosts now all but assured of regaining the Wisden Trophy they'd lost in the Caribbean earlier this year after their 10-wicket win in last week's series opener at Lord's. Onions, who at Lord's took seven wickets on Test debut, removed first innings century-maker Ramnaresh Sarwan for 22, the batsman plumb lbw as he shuffled across the crease. Two balls later the Durham quick gave his home crowd something else to celebrate when he had West Indies captain Chris Gayle caught at first slip by England skipper Andrew Strauss for a blistering 54. "It was great day for us today picking up 10 wickets on a good batting pitch," said England pace bowler Stuart Broad, who took three for 62 in the West Indies' first innings. "Seven wickets tomorrow (Monday) is in our sights, we've got to be ruthless enough to take that." But Sarwan said he was confident the remaining West Indies batsmen could keep England at bay. "We just need to concentrate. If we apply ourselves we will be able to draw the game." Left-handed opener Gayle, who in the build-up to this match made no secret of his preference for Twenty20 as opposed to Test cricket, had blazed away as if this were a one-day game, his fifty coming in just 39 balls with two sixes and six fours.
