    Mark Puttick: Joe Root has just scored England men's 888th Test hundred.

  3. Eng 276-2

    Lead by 212

    Spinner Veerasammy Permaul, who had a difficult day yesterday, is introduced for the first time on day five and is greeted by a Dan Lawrence reverse sweep for four first ball.

    Brutal.

    The Barmy Army are going mad up on the hill to our left hand side in recognition of the captain's century.

    John Petrie: Runs breeds confidence in batsmen. This match could prove to be a good platform for Crawley and Lawrence.

    Ruth Brooksbank: Roooooooooot! After the purgatory of the Ashes, it's so good to see Joe get a ton.

  6. Eng 272-2

    It's been a classic Joe Root century, a chanceless effort full of his trademark deft touches square of the wicket and perfecty timed clips off his legs.

    A few expansive drives (and misses) from the final balls of Alzarri Joseph's over suggest he is about to free his arms now that he's reached the milestone.

  7. Ian Bishop
    Former West Indies pace bowler on BT Sport

    One of the top-class batters in the world and one of England's greatest ever.

  8. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Antigua

    This is the perfect way for the captain to lead the so-called reset. Also it should finally bury any lingering misgivings he has about batting at three rather than his favoured four.

  9. 100 runs

    100 for Joe Root

    Eng 270-2

    There it is! Test match century number 24 for Joe Root.

    He gets there with a nudge down to third man and the crowd and dressing room rises in acknowledgement of yet another superb effort from England's unstoppable captain.

  11. Eng 269-2

    Dan Lawrence continues to steal the attention from Joe Root by giving himself some room outside leg stump and lofting Jayden Seales over cover for four more glorious runs.

    He does generously defend the last ball, however, to keep his captain on strike for the next over. Time for a drink first, though.

  12. Eng 265-2

    Aaaand he's back at the other end with a single.

  13. Eng 264-2

    Lawrence shimmies across his stumps and takes a single to fine leg. Joe Root on strike, 98 not out.

  14. Eng 263-2

    Lead by 199

    Three more off the bat of Joe Root, who looks like he could score a hundred on this pitch with his eyes shut.

    West Indies look tired. Alzarri Joseph's first over was all over the place and he continues the trend by straying down the leg side, past a diving keeper and all the way for four byes.

  15. Eng 255-2

    Lead by 191

    Joe Root keeps the strike for the next over, on 95 not out.

  16. 6 runs

    Eng 255-2

    Slower ball, in the slot, see you later.

    Dan Lawrence sends it back over Jason Holder's head and into the stands, and this is some start to an innings.

    Piemontemio: I've got quite a good feeling about today's play - it might not result in an England win, but think we might get an exciting finish: plenty of overs left for twists and turns yet...

  18. Eng 249-2

    Lead by 185

    Has anyone ever made anything look as easy as Joe Root does with batting? He's just really good.

    Meanwhile, Dan Lawrence seems to be the one tasked with upping the tempo, jumping about his crease and forcing Alzarri Joseph to make mistakes - as he does, by bowling a wide and a no-ball in his first over.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Antigua

    Root is looking really busy. He clearly has a desire to declare sometime this afternoon. He won’t be too generous with his target, though.

  20. Eng 242-2

    Lead by 178

    Jason Holder is not happy and he doesn't hide it, as Lawrence helps himself to an easy single to the mid-wicket fielder.

    Root moves on to 94.
