First Test Match
Jamaica - Day Four
England 318 (K P Pietersen 97, M J Prior 64, S J Benn 4-77) & 51 (J E Taylor 5-11, S J Benn 4-31) v West Indies 392 (R R Sarwan 107, C H Gayle 104, B P Nash 55, S C J Broad 5-85)
West Indies beat England by an innings and 23 runs
England were bowled out for just 51 in their second innings to slip to an embarrassing defeat at the hands of the West Indies in the first Test in Jamaica.
An inspired spell of bowling from Jerome Taylor, combined with some inept batting, saw the tourists skittled out for their third lowest total in history.
Only Andrew Flintoff managed to reach double figures as the reign of new captain Andrew Strauss started with a shock loss by just the small margin of an innings and 23 runs.
Taylor finished with remarkable figures of 5-11 from nine overs before Sulieman Benn took over to finish the job off with his second four-wicket haul of the match.
