JAMES ANDERSON moved one wicket closer to a place in England's record books on day two of the first Test against the West Indies.
Anderson, on the occasion of his 100th cap, started the day four short of passing Sir Ian Botham's record 383 Test wickets in Antigua.
He moved to 381 with the scalp of Devon Smith, who nicked a fine delivery to Jos Buttler, during an opening spell that saw plenty of the controlled swing bowling that has defined his career.
At tea the West Indies were 84 for two, having kept the tourists down to 399 with a much improved bowling effort in the morning.
England resumed on 341 for five, but lost their next five wickets for 58.
Anderson scored 20 of those, all in boundaries, but his real business began when England took the field.
He led out the team, in deference to his milestone appearance, and squeezed in two overs before the lunch break.
Anderson moved a couple of gentle looseners into Kraigg Brathwaite before ramping up the pace and looping a vicious inswinger towards the base of the stumps.
Brathwaite kept it out, jabbing down hard, but the battle lines had been drawn.
The left-handed Smith was also given a warning, with Anderson going past the outside edge with a beauty.
Anderson again settled into a groove at the start of the afternoon session before striking with the second ball of his fifth over.
Smith was the victim, nicking in the channel around off stump and sending a regulation catch into Buttler's gloves.
Anderson threatened to take another, but half-hearted appeals for caught behind and lbw came to nothing.
He was withdrawn after bowling seven overs for nine runs, leaving Chris Jordan and Stuart Broad to share the load.
Jordan, selected ahead of Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood, turned in a testing spell and was rewarded with the wicket of Darren Bravo.
He had bowled better deliveries without success, but Bravo withdrew his bat too late and ended up edging tamely to the wicketkeeper.
Brathwaite and Marlon Samuels put on 42, with James Tredwell shelling a tough return catch from the latter on 21.
The day started with West Indies bowling coach Curtly Ambrose giving his charges an impassioned pep talk, the Caribbean great wagging his finger and pumping his fist as he talked.
His words had the desired effect as the pace trio of Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach and Jason Holder banished their lacklustre showing on the first evening and knocked England over before lunch.
Ben Stokes was the first to fall, adding just eight to his overnight 71 before steering Taylor to gully.
Stokes looked furious, but it remained his second highest Test score and underlined his exceptional potential at number six.
For England it was the start of a passage that cost them four wickets for the addition of just four runs.
Nightwatchman Tredwell nicked Holder to slip, before Roach took out Buttler and Broad for ducks.
Buttler was unusually passive in his 22-ball stay, while Broad's tame exit continued a worrying downward trend in his batting.
The end of the innings seemed imminent, but Jordan and last man Anderson eked another 38 runs before the end.
