Cook hits first Test ton since May 2013
England skipper out for 105 in last over
Trott departs third ball for a duck
Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown
Veerasammy Permaul is back. Does his return mean West Indies are thinking of taking the new ball in three overs? Looking at Jason Holder getting loose, you might well think so. Permaul has an unfortunate habit of throwing in a four-ball every over and there's another one, sitting up short and begging to be swept to the square leg boundary. Captain Cook duly obliges.

"In a Test match you should be naturally more cautious than in one-day games because there is not the need for runs. If there was a slight risk why would you run on the first day of a Test match?"
I can't remember the last time I looked up and Marlon Samuels wasn't bowling. He's performing a holding role for Denesh Ramdin and you'd have to say from that point of view he's done a decent job. Cook moves into the 80s with a whip through midwicket.
The DJ at the Kensington Oval is indeed making a superb racket. He's got red headphones and gold decks. Outstanding. Back out in the middle, Ben Stokes gets lucky when he props forward tentatively at a length ball from Jerome Taylor and is lucky to see it fly between second and third slip on the bounce. I thought we'd had drinks earlier but I must have been mistaken because we're having them now.
England batting coach Mark Ramprakash: , externalHad to laugh as Ben Stokes asked for his guard but the umpire couldn't hear as the music is seriously loud!!
Stokes punches Samuels out to deep cover for a single. No sign of their hostilities bubbling over...yet.

"There was never a run for Moeen's dismissal. Even if it's the captain calling you for a run you just say no and send him back."
Darth Ashes: Chef barbecues Moeen!
Sunday Times cricket correspondent Simon Wilde:, external Moeen deserves a posthumous VC for carrying on with that single.
The arrival of Ben Stokes has woken the West Indies fielders up - there's more chirp than an aviary of galahs out there at the moment. Stokes keeps the strike with a single off the last ball of Taylor's over.
Rachel T: Whoopsie. Well, I think that's what Cook just said.
Blonde Bear: Selfish run-out caused by Cook. Likely to cloud his mind and stop the elusive century?

"Moeen Ali is the 10th England player to be run out in consecutive innings... the first since Monty Panesar in 2008."

"England have to carry on the same way. It may not be to some people's liking, not scoring quickly, but I think it has been fascinating cricket."
We took drinks immediately after that wicket, where replays showed Alastair Cook putting his palm to his face and chuntering away to himself in frustration. A horrible feeling, that. But can he put it out of his mind and go on to get his long-awaited century? He's lucky not to get an edge behind when Taylor beats him all ends up with an absolute doozy that just moves away off the seam.

"Backward point is back about five or six yards deeper than normal. Cook hit it straight to the fielder's right hand and I think Moeen had given up."
Oh skipper, what have you done? Alastair Cook has thrown Moeen Ali to the wolves here. The captain taps Marlon Samuels straight to point and inexplicably calls Moeen through for the run. It's a doomed effort for Moeen, he's never getting there, like a man sprinting down the railway station steps as the last train pulls out. On the balcony, Peter Moores runs his hand over his head in frustration.

"I don't think I have seen Alastair Cook play as well for a while. His footwork and playing straight towards mid-off, rather than cover and square cover, has been exemplary."
Cook inches determinedly towards his longed-for hundred with a two to extra cover.
