Bishoo then bamboozled the middle order before Rampaul returned to remove the tail.


DONE A GREAT JOB AT A DEBUT "BISHOO"
However, any thoughts of a home victory were quickly put to one side as Devon Smith and Darren Bravo became the 12th and 13th wickets to fall on an intriguing day.

Alastair Cook is England new ODI Captain and Broad named as a new T20 Captain.


Alastair Cook has been named England's one-day international captain following the resignation of Andrew Strauss.

Cook,26, has played in only three ODI games since November 2008, leading England's victorious tour of Bangladesh in 2010 when Strauss was rested.


Strauss ,34,who has also announced his retirement from one-day internationals, will continue as Test skipper.


Sturat Broad ,24, replaces Paul Collingwood as Captain of England's Twenty20 side.


It is the first time that a nation's Test, ODI and T20 team will be led by different captains and England team director Andy Flower is buoyed by the prospect.


"It has never been tried before so I am excited by the opportunity it provide us with," he said.


"We don't know 100% whether it will work and be the most efficient system but we're going to give it a try."
Strauss's decision to step down as captain was not unexpected after England's disappointing showing in the recent World cup in India.



"The end of the World Cup was a watershed for all teams, not just England and it is time to refresh, regenerate and move forward," said Strauss.



 "I've enjoyed my time as England one-day captain immensely and I'm extremely proud of the strides we've made in limited overs cricket over the past two years.
