Bridgetown - Alastair Cook's long overdue 26th Test hundred saved England from complete collapse as his side reached 240-7 at stumps on the opening day of the third and final Test against the West Indies.
Captain Cook was dismissed for a painstaking 105 off the last ball of the day at the Kensington Oval.
His determined innings, compiled with exceptional care over 315 minutes and occupying 266 deliveries, was also the 100th Test century scored on the Caribbean's oldest international ground, dating back to the first-ever Test match in the region, against England in 1930.
