BRIDGETOWN (Reuters) - England captain Alastair Cook made his first test century in almost two years but lost his wicket in the final over of the day as the tourists ended the first day of the third test against West Indies on 240 for seven.

Cook's fine, considered innings of 105, guided England away from a shaky start after they lost their first three wickets for just 38 runs in Barbados.
