Antigua: Terrific day for England, compiling a huge 566 for 9 with Paul Collingwood cracking a typically gutsy and industrious hundred. Harmison picked up the early wicket of skipper Gayle as the shadows lengthened, and West Indies have it all to do, trailing by 511.
Just nine days after being bowled out for 51 at Sabina Park and suffering an innings defeat, England amassed over 10 times that total with five batsmen scoring half centuries or more.
Collingwood was the constant presence throughout a sun-blessed day at the Antigua Recreation Ground, as his 113 (202b, 14x4), his eighth Test century, provided a perfect complement to skipper Andrew Strauss's 169 on Sunday.
A great day for England ended with the added bonus of the wicket of West Indies captain and batting threat Chris Gayle, who drove Steve Harmison to James Anderson at mid-off to depart on 30.
Arriving at the crease after West Indies removed the nightwatchman James Anderson, Collingwood took the upper hand in a positive partnership with Kevin Pietersen through to lunch.
It is not often that Pietersen is overshadowed by his partner but Collingwood's aggression was impressive, as was the way he was able to adjust his role, first to provide stability and then later to take the main run-making responsibility again.
Fidel Edwards had been threatening with the new ball but West Indies did not look like making any headway until after lunch when Jerome Taylor picked up two quick wickets.
With the first ball of his spell he bowled Pietersen for 51 with a delivery that kept low and then Andrew Flintoff went two balls later, Taylor removing his middle and off stump.
By the close, West Indies were 55 for 1, still trailing by a hefty 511, on a pitch which was beginning to misbehave appreciably. The loss of Gayle, five overs before the close, was a huge blow to their prospects.
Brief Score: West Indies 55/1 (CH Gayle 30, SJ Harmison 1/18) trail England 566/9 dec (Strauss 169, Collingwood 113) by 511 runs.
