West Indies pace duo Fidel Edwards and Darren Sammy boosted their chances of a starting the third Test with England by wrapping up the MCC innings on Day Two.With the Windies blighted by injury, compounded by Ravi Rampaul and Chris Gayle's problems on day one, Edwards and Sammy provided a welcome lift. Resuming on 234-7, Edwards (3-66) and Sammy (2-66) cleaned up the tail as the MCC slumped to 260 all out. In reply, the Windies lost Devon Smith for just 16 to leave them 21-1. Ruel Braithwaite was the wicket-taker, bowling the opener to end his 19-ball stay. Earlier, Edwards and Sammy found good pace and bounce to wrap up the innings in the first morning, with Jermaine Taylor (5-43) given the morning's rest.
