Gary Ballance ton sets up victory push - chairman - 04-16-2015
Gary Ballance's century and a stunning Chris Jordan catch set up England's victory push in the first Test against West Indies in Antigua.
Ballance hit 122, Joe Root 59 and Jos Buttler a rapid unbeaten 59 to help the tourists declare on 333-7.
Chasing a notional 438 to win, West Indies lost Darren Bravo for 32 late on as they closed day four on 98-2.
The obdurate Devon Smith, who added 83 with Bravo for the second wicket, will resume on 59.

I make that four centuries in nine Test matches for Ballance. A fine start to his young Test match career. He still looks out of form and no doubt his performance at the World Cup has robbed him of the confidence he exuded over the summer. Given England's ongoing struggles with their opening pair, it is imperative that they find stability at 3.
