UPDATE 1-Cricket-Panesar bowls England to victory

By Richard Sydenham

MANCHESTER, England, June 11 - Monty Panesar took
six wickets for 137 to help bowl England to a 60-run victory
against West Indies at Old Trafford on Monday, ending the
tourists' hopes of a record run chase.

The victory gave England an unassailable 2-0 lead in the
four test series with one match to play.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul (116 not out) scored his first test
hundred for two years but his team fell short of their 455
target and were all out for 394 shortly after lunch on the final
day. The record chase stays at 418 by West Indies in 2003.

Panesar exploited a wearing pitch that offered him
considerable bounce and turn and claimed his first 10-wicket
match haul in tests. Steve Harmison took four for 95 in the
innings.

Michael Vaughan is now England's most successful test
captain of all time having surpassed Peter May's 20 victories.
