England fought back, and spearheading that attack was Alistair Cook, who eventually fell to the bowling of Sulieman Benn for 147, a great knock from the opener, who is quickly becoming one of England's best batsmen of the 21st century.
That wicket brought Tim Ambrose, the England Wicket Keeper to the crease. He was out in the middle for less than a minute, as he was comprehensively bowled by Sulieman Benn first ball.
Benn was on a hat-trick and England looked like collapsing. Stuart Broad came in, probably the first of the bowlers. Benn bowled and Broad played a great shot to get him off the mark. He soon settled and began to smash the West Indies bowlers just like the other English batsmen earlier in the day. Soon bringing up his 50.
While all this has happened, Paul Collingwood has slowly been knocking off the runs and scored his century, soon followed by Broad to make it 4 centurians in the first day. England were in total control.
The day ended with England 621/6, a score which they later declared on overnight.
