The West Indies have salvaged a memorable draw in the first cricket Test against England, on the final day in Antigua.

Jason Holder was the hero with his maiden first-class century, a crucial 103, supported by his captain Denesh Ramdin in a century partnership for the seventh wicket, as the hosts chased an improbable 438 to win.
Ramdin fell for 57 to become James Anderson's 384th wicket, overtaking the English record for most Test wickets held by Sir Ian Botham.
But by then the Windies were already well on their way to frustrating England's push for victory.

Holder kept pushing fours through to the boundary and his team finished on 350 to seven in reply to England's 333 for seven declared in their second innings.
Anderson told the host broadcaster after the match that they got themselves into a great position but just couldn't quite find anything in that pitch to get the 10 wickets.
"We tried our hardest but couldn't quite get there," says Anderson.
He says he's hugely proud to take the record from an English legend like Sir Ian, and to have his family there was great.
