    Harry Brook celebrates his century with Joe RootPA Media

    Brook's century came from 118 balls. He's hit 12 fours.

    It's his fifth Test hundred and his first at home. Just his 14th match and only five previous England players have scored five hundreds within their first 14 Tests, most recently Andrew Strauss.

  3. Top run-scorers in men's Tests

    Joe Root has just moved to eighth on the all-time run-scorers in Test cricket. Here's the top 10 list:

    1. Sachin Tendulkar (Ind) - 15,921
    2. Ricky Ponting (Aus) - 13,378
    3. Jacques Kallis (SA/ICC) - 13,289
    4. Rahul Dravid (Ind/ICC) - 13,288
    5. Sir Alastair Cook (Eng) - 12,472
    6. Kumar Sangakarra (SL) - 12,400
    7. Brian Lara (WI/ICC) - 11,953
    8. Joe Root (Eng) - 11,870
    9. Shivnarine Chanderpaul (WI) - 11,867
    10. Mahela Jayawardene (SL) - 11,814

  4. Eng 292-3

    Root knocks another ball square to retain the strike.

    A landmark heavy over for England.

    Root is the glue for this England side. He just steadies the ship, rotates the strike and then plays those gorgeous drives.

    Joe Root celebrates his half-centuryPA Media

    Joe Root modestly raises his bat because he's just seen his younger team-mate reach his hundred.

  7. 50 runs

    Fifty for Joe Root

    Eng 291-3

    And two balls later, here's Joe Root's fifty.

    He turns Alzarri Joseph towards square for two, simultaneously bringing up the 150 partnership.

    His 63rd Test half-century.

  8. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    So impressive. Harry Brook has played shots all around the ground and he looks set for a few more here.

    Harry Brook celebrates his centuryGetty Images

    Harry Brook, one of the brightest of many bright stars in this new era of England batsmanship, scores a superb hundred.

    His first hundred on home soil and gets the acclaim of this Sunday morning crowd at Trent Bridge.

    An excellent innings from this supremely talented young man.

  10. 100 runs

    Hundred for Harry Brook

    Eng 289-3

    A first home century for Harry Brook!

    Not the most elegant way to get there, a drive skewed to mid-on bringing a single.

    It's his fifth century in 14 Tests, what a talent.

  11. Eng 288-3

    No bat lifts in this over, as Jason Holder - replacing Shamar Joseph with a replacement ball - sends down a maiden to Joe Root.

    Only the second scoreless over of the innings.

    50 for Root will put him level with Chanderpaul and creeping up on Lara in the career Test runs table. Two players the Windies are missing for sure….

    Warren, Ventnor, Isle of Wight

    I'm old school. I think 500 and just say, 'chase that' and disintegrate the opposition.

    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    Bowling a team out on this pitch is still going to be hard. Setting West Indies 350 to win might warm it up, anything more and I think they might just shut up shop.

    You need them playing shots on this surface.

  15. Eng 288-3

    Brook drives Alzarri Joseph to the point boundary, the only scoring shot of the over.

    The England number five moves to 99, Root is on 49.

    Who will get to raise their bat first?

  16. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Sounds

    This is a good track and there is no sign of it breaking up. There is no real threat off the surface.

  17. Eng 284-3

    England work Shamar Joseph for three singles in an over that goes uninterrupted by any mythical beasts.

    The West Indies might hope a herd of centaurs charge across this pitch, make it a bit more spicy.

    If anyone in the Nottinghamshire area has seen any half-man/half-horse creatures, send them towards the cricket ground.

    BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Sounds

    Seales gave it everything but he just slipped on the boundary edge. Harry Brook is into the 90s.

    I've just written 'unicorn stops play' on my scorecard. I'm not sure how many times I'm going to be able to do that.

    A deflated unicorn balloon stops playGetty Images

    There's a unicorn! They do exist. It's one of those plastic balloon ones and it has just blown across the pitch.

    We can officially tell you, folks, that a unicorn has stopped play.
