Chanderpaul, dropped by Matt Prior on 27, hit 112 not out on a slow wicket in Guyana to enable the Caribbean nation to post 264-8.
Meanwhile, sportinglife.com reported that seamer Stuart Broad, desperate to end Chanderpaul´s resistance, might have come close to disciplinary action from match referee Javagal Srinath for constantly questioning umpire Aleem Dar during a 10-ball over including four wides.
Strauss, called over by the umpire, wisely sent Broad out to the boundary to cool down and three late wickets from Collingwood´s medium pace prevented West Indies powering to an even bigger score and limiting them to 57 runs from the final 10 overs.
England did well with the ball, but their batsmen, with the exception of skipper Andrew Strauss, did poorly and were all out for 243 with 10 balls left.
Strauss who made 105 got no support from England´s top six to keep him company long enough to build any momentum. The only other notable scores were from Dimitri Mascarenhas (29) and Owaish Shah´s patient 22 out of 44 balls.
Earlier, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, Windies skipper Chris Gayle blazed a quick 20, which included three boundaries in a single Stuart Broad over.
James Anderson (3-37) was the best England bowler taking the wickets of West Indies´ top three batsmen – Gayle, Lendl Simmons and Ramnaresh Sarwan.
