The England cricket team has made a solid start to their tour of the West Indies.
The captain Andrew Strauss made a century to lead the touring side to a 217-run victory over St Kitts & Nevis in the opening match yesterday.
Strauss, who was out for a second-ball duck in the first innings, struck 103 from 116 balls before retiring in England's second innings total of 265 for five declared.
Left-arm spinner Monty Panesar took three wickets for a match haul of seven as St Kitts & Nevis collapsed to 221 all out shortly before the close on the third and final day.
England received another boost when a scan on all-rounder Andrew Flintoff's side strain revealed no serious damage.
England meet West Indies A in another three-day match tomorrow before the first test starts in Kingston, Jamaica next Wednesday.
