At tea West Indies were 24 for two in reply to England's 566 for nine declared, a deficit of 542 needing a further 343 to avoid the follow-on target of 367.

They were rocked four balls into their innings when Devon Smith (four), trying to turn a Hoggard ball legside, was superbly caught above his head by Ashley Giles in the gully off a leading edge.

And five for one became 12 for two when Yorkshire quick Hoggard bowled opener Chris Gayle (seven) behind his legs.

Ramnaresh Sarwan was 10 not out and West Indies captain Brian Lara three not out.

Earlier Andrew Flintoff's Test-best 167 guided England to their imposing total as they looked to build on their 1-0 lead after winning the first Test by 210 runs at Lord's on Monday.

Together with wicketkeeper Geraint Jones (74), Flintoff shared a blistering sixth-wicket stand of 170 in 190 balls.

Three West Indies bowlers' conceded more than 100 runs with 20-year-old medium-pacer Dwayne Bravo's Test best four for 76, in only his second Test, the standout display.

West Indies plight was summed up by the fact that last man Harmison made a Test-best 31 not out off 18 balls only with one six and five fours.

Harmison struck fours off successive balls from Jermaine Lawson and next ball lofted him for six with a superb on-drive.

He and fellow quick Hoggard shared an unbroken stand of 41 for the last wicket.

Flintoff's hundred had already steered England into the dominant position of 453 for six at lunch.

They resumed with Flintoff 119 not out and Giles 11 not out.

Flintoff, who had already struck three sixes, pulled a short-ball from leg-spinner Sarwan over the ropes.

After Giles went for 24, an on-driven four through mid-wicket off Sarwan took Flintoff to 145, his highest Test score surpassing the 142 he made against South Africa at Lord's last year.

Flintoff went to 150 in superb style by advancing down the pitch and lofting Banks straight back over the bowler's head for his fifth six.

He had then faced 184 balls also including 17 fours.

Next ball Flintoff lofted another six and three balls later hoisted Banks over the fence again as 19 runs came off the over.
