A Co ok hit career-best first century in 14 months 139 not out, and Pietersen massaged his average with an unbeaten 72, as England overcame some early uncertainty to push the fourth Test at Bridgetown to the deathliest of stalemates. The end, when it was finally negotiated at 4.50pm, came with England's players kicking footballs and twiddling their thumbs on the balcony, and West Indies' captain, Chris Gayle, desperate to pull the plug on the contest. England had converted their first-innings deficit into a healthy lead of 130, with Cook's eighth Test century complementing the 94 he made on the opening day of the contest.
