(Reuters) - Gary Ballance's fourth test century made up for his miserable World Cup as he spearheaded England's victory bid on the fourth day of the first test against West Indies in Antigua on Thursday.

The tourists set West Indies an improbable target of 438 to win by declaring on 333 for seven and the hosts were 98 for two at the close, having lost Darren Bravo for 32 to a stunning catch by Chris Jordan and Kraigg Brathwaite for five.
