LONDON, United Kingdom:

West Indies coach David Moore says the regional team will be pushing for victory on today's fifth and final day's play in the first Test at Lord's. The Windies will begin the day at seven without loss, chasing a victory target of 394 with all 10 wickets intact.

Speaking to journalists at the close of play yesterday, Moore said: "I think it's very evenly poised at the moment.

"We fought very hard to get to where we are and the small partnerships which happened at the end of our innings were just fantastic not only for the end total but for our confidence and our team spirit. In that way we pushed over 400 and we were close enough to bowl them out (before they declared) and we're chasing 394 from 98 overs tomorrow."

He added: "We'll be looking at assessing as the day goes on and if the time's right and there is an opportunity for a win we will be certainly pushing for one."

Continuing, Moore assessed: "I know we are speaking about a fifth day wicket, I'm not going to delude myself but we're in a position where we have scored 360 in a day and we did it without putting the pedal to the metal and without (Chris) Gayle being there and scoring lots of runs.

Key

"The key is not getting too far ahead of ourselves. At any time if we feel there is an opportunity to go for a win we'll go for it, if it's not we'll try and play in the appropriate fashion to draw the Test."

Commenting on whether Chris Gayle is the key man in the Windies batting line-up, Moore said: "When we chased down those runs against Australia for the world record (418 in Antigua) ShivChanderpaul was the key so we've got a number of key people. Sarwan is obviously a key cricketer and Gayle and we've got (Daren) Ganga if we want people to bat for long periods of time.

"They key is all about the first hour tomorrow. We'll be able to set up after then, that's what we'll be looking after and trying to make an assessment. That's of course if the weather stays good; we've got our fingers crossed that it would be a very good finish."

Moore also said he was hugely disappointed that none of the batsmen scored a century in the first innings.

Disappointment

"The biggest disappointment in the first innings for us was that we couldn't get on and get a hundred or two hundreds. We got four scores around fifty but no one went on ... if we had one guy who got a hundred in the first innings we'd be another fifty runs on and we'd be a lot closer and it would have been a lot more difficult for England in this position."

When asked if the Windies will target Steve Harmison, Moore replied: "I don't think that we are going to target anyone in any way, shape or form. I've watched Harmison bowl against Australia in England and absolutely destroyed them so we'll be very wary and respectful of all of the bowlers."

The coach says negating England's first innings six-wicket hero, spinner Monty Panesar, will be a key factor.

"He'a a quality act, he's a top- quality spinner. We've got to learn quickly; if we don't learn quickly we'll be dismissed quite quickly because he's that sort of cricketer but we're working very hard. We see Monty as a key person in their bowling attack."
