England hope to hit the groove with the ball on Tuesday in their bid to level the Test series against West Indies.
Paul Collingwood's third Test hundred in just six months put the tourists in a strong position as they declared on 566 for nine. They then claimed the prize wicket of Chris Gayle, with West Indies ending day two on 55 for one.
"It is difficult because, as has been seen, if you're consistently hitting that area the ball is misbehaving a little bit," said Collingwood, of the variation in the pitch caused by the football markings which run across it.
"But the other parts of the pitch are playing pretty well.
England must look a more secure unit with all the personal issues between captain, coach and players being settled. Andrew Strauss is the man given this task and he must achieve this to boost England’s Ashes chances.
