Jonny Bairstow's superb eighth Test century and second in as many matches rallied England after a familiar top-order collapse as the tourists closed day one ...
"To score a century in any Test match [is great] but especially here with the travelling fans who haven't been able to come for a couple of years. "We've spoken about partnerships and how crucial they can be, not just at the top but throughout the order. I've been fortunate enough to be on a few tours over here and it's an amazing place to come. We're very fortunate to have them and what an occasion. Jonny Bairstow's superb eighth Test century and second in as many matches rallied England after a familiar top-order collapse as the tourists closed day one of the series opener against West Indies in Antigua on 268-6. Bairstow followed his 113 in the fourth Ashes Test in Sydney with a hard-fought score of 109 not out from 216 deliveries in the Caribbean, showing grit, technique, quick running throughout and belligerence later on as he lifted his side from a lowly 48-4.
Half-ratpower, halftracker form Overton to start the over and Campbell pulls it witheringly for four.
Filth from Leach to Brathwaite, spraying it on to the captain's pads and he twists it off his pads for four, the 10th of the innings. Campbell is on the charge but inside-edges his drive on to his pad. BUT last ball of the over Brooks plays a poor short driving at a full one to give Root the most regulation of slip catches. First ball of this Stokes over spits up off a length - nasty but also nice for Brooks as his thick outside edge is played down (well) with soft hands for four. Wood starts his over by hammering the ball very short, so short, in fact it's called a wide. Blackwood is semi-squared up to Woakes' first ball of the over - it squirts to gully and Root and Co. appeal for a catch. Woakes replaces Wood from the Sir Curtly Ambrose end - can he find his zip that has been so missing (in the Lord Lucan sense of the word) all winter? The ball's started to reverse and third ball of the over the England pace ace induces the inside edge of Holder that comes off his pads before falling just short of Crawley at short mid-wicket. Oooooooooo - Leach bowls the first ball of the over quicker and flatter and Bonner does well to get bat on it. A good (and over in the blink of an eye) maiden over. Leach is holding up one end BUT the runs are coming with relative ease (over the past hour or so) from the other. Bonner carves his first ball - a short and wide pie - for two before trying to repeat the trick next delivery, this time for just a single.

20th over: West Indies 83-1 (Brathwaite 47, Brooks 0) In co-comms, Stephen Harmison says that at least that Overton ball hit the pitch hard, so eve though ...
35.1 overs: West Indies 127-4 ( Bonner 3) A shower closes Woakes’ over after just one ball and the players take tea. 43rd over: West Indies 147-4 ( Bonner 9, Holder 13) Holder, professionally limp handed, squeezes Overton through the slips for four. Holder squeaks his first ball for four (again) through the slips. 66th over: West Indies 202-4 ( Bonner 34, Holder 43) The sun is dipping, and is shining in Woakes’ bonny eyes. 62nd over: West Indies 188-4 ( Bonner 30, Holder 33) Is Leach going to lose his streak of maidens? “I think where some of the comparisons to figures in other sports fall short for me is that I find it hard to imagine cricket without Shane Warne. For someone of my age (I’m 42) he was embedded in the identity of the whole sport. He delays Wood at top of his mark, fiddling with his gloves, and gets a short ball for his efforts. He’s not happy with the ball and flings it back to the umpires who put it through its paces and fling it back. “If readers stuck with my day one match report beyond the first couple of paragraphs then they’d have seen a mention of David Rudder and his 1987 hit Rally ‘Round the West Indies. Cards on the table, I’ve been a massive fan ever since I was lucky enough to see the great Trinidadian perform live in Grenada three years ago. 66.5 overs: West Indies 202-4 ( Bonner 34, Holder 43) There’s something magnificent about the light here... Holder starting to taste the sweetness of his doggedness. West Indies made things interesting with some terrible shots and found themselves in trouble at 127-4, until Holder and Bonner dug in magnificently, as Wood and Stokes. in particular, probed and poked.
Batter shares fifty stands with Stokes, Foakes and Woakes to rebuild tourists' innings from dire start. Valkerie Baynes11 hrs ago. Story Image.
Aside from one atrocious hack across the line at Leach, for which he had deserved to be bowled for 24, Brathwaite found a comfortable balance between stickability and intent to set West Indies' tempo with a solid knock of 33 from 82 balls. With Wood's participation in the rest of the series now in serious doubt, it would have been understandable had England chosen to shut up shop from the outset, after resuming their second innings with a stalemate at their mercy on 217 for 1. Three balls after the resumption, he flung his bat through a revolting hack to nothing, and was pinned lbw for 2 to set the cat fully among the pigeons. With centuries already in the bag for Jonny Bairstow and Crawley, the captain Root made it three for the match in the morning session - his 24th in Test cricket and 13th as captain, overtaking Alastair Cook's previous record. And slim seemed to have left town when it was confirmed that Wood - who had been withdrawn from the attack before lunch on day three - would play no further part in the match,after reporting "acute pain" in his injured right elbowduring a nets session before the start of play. Ben Stokeswas England's other main threat as he once again belied the pre-match caveats about his fitness to bang out 13 more overs for 24, but having prised out the key early wicket of Kraigg Brathwaite, he too was unable to get the better of a dogged fifth-wicket pair.
