11.20am: Bairstow takes the applause as he walks from the field, his 140 a towering contribution to the scorecard - England's next-highest individual score was 42 from Ben Foakes. That is a very decent total, dredged up from the depths of 48 for 4, with Bairstow and the lower order doing a fine recovery job. Four wickets for Jayden Seales helped limit the damage, and West Indies will be hoping 300 is only around par - though they've been brittle with the bat over the last 12 months, and will need a couple of the top order to make an early statement for the series. Back in a few for the reply

Joseph to Bairstow, OUT, sliced high behind point, swirling awkwardly - but Holder clings on! A brilliant take ends a brilliant innings from Jonny Bairstow, and West Indies have finally wrapped this innings up. Second wicket for Joseph, skidding on to take the top edge as Bairstow went hard at the ball. Holder had to wheel around from backward point and then adjust as it dropped over his shoulder, but he makes no mistake

Roach to Leach, FOUR, edged between keeper and slip! Leach is drawn into poking at one that leaves him from round the wicket, but it goes straight between Da Silva and Campbell. Should have been a straightforward take for one of them. Roach is, understandably, livid

Three slips for Roach to Leach

"Last man Leachy and a swashbuckling middle order ginger ninja… do we dare to dream." Another 70-odd from here would be dreamland for England, Mitch_A
