Starting with the West Indies tour of England...

It was heartbreak again for the Caribbean side as Joe Root smashed a century to help the hosts win by three wickets.

West Indies made 308 all out in 47.4 overs, with Keacy (K.C.) Carty scoring 103 in vain.

In reply, Root hit 166 not out to take England to 312 for 7 in the 49th over.

We have the highlights.
