West Indies v England 4th Test
Barbados: Strauss (142) was dropped on 58 but made an eye-catching 16th Test century as he and Cook (94) put on 229.
But West Indies fought hard and took the morale-boosting wickets of Strauss, Cook and Owais Shah (7) after tea.
Kevin Pietersen was joined by Paul Collingwood and the pair led England to 301-3 at stumps on day one in Barbados.
England should be pleased with their position going into day two but they must hope Pietersen (32no) and Collingwood (11no) can guide them towards an imposing total.
