(Reuters) - For five-and-a-half hours England's bowlers threw everything at Jermaine Blackwood but the young West Indies batsman held firm to notch up his maiden test century in Antigua on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old curbed his natural attacking instincts and played with maturity as wickets fell around him before throwing caution to the wind to spray England's pace attack to all corners of Antigua's North Sound and finish unbeaten on 112.
