Preview
England seek to draw level in a Test series that they were favoured to win when they face West Indies in the second Test, starting on Friday at the Vivian Richards Cricket Ground in Antigua.
The visitors face a crucial challenge in the match. Another defeat for England would give West Indies an unassailable lead in the series and end their nine-year spell of Test series defeats against them.

Barring back-to-back wins over Bangladesh, West Indies have not won consecutive matches in the last 10 years. England should also recall that West Indies also outplayed South Africa in Port Elizabeth two Decembers ago, and they still lost a three-Test series 2-1.
The visitors should take heart from the fact that the last time they crumbled in a Test in the Caribbean, when Michael Atherton's side were bowled out for 46 at Port of Spain, their predecessors rebounded with a 208-run victory in Barbados which was highlighted by hundreds in each innings from Alec Stewart.
Team news
England have all the worries with Ian Bell set to be dropped in favour of Owais Shah. Also under the scanner are Monty Panesar and Steve Harmison after their poor show in Jamaica, but it will be a difficult decision to leave both of them out, if they do then Graeme Swann and James Anderson could come in.
West Indies will go with probably one change that of either left-handed all-rounder Ryan Hinds or batsman Lendl Simmons coming in place of Xavier Marshall.
