The England captain, back on his home ground for his first Test in 18 months following a miserable run of injuries, chose an appropriate stage to reach three figures for the 16th time at this level.

Vaughan (103) was followed to the landmark by Kevin Pietersen (130no) - whose second hundred in successive innings punished the tourists on a day they finished without captain Ramnaresh Sarwan, after he injured his shoulder as he collided with a boundary hoarding.

Three wickets in the final session salvaged some hope for the Windies in this second Test of four, which began with the teams 0-0 after a draw at Lord's.

Vaughan completed his chanceless 164-ball century with his 11th boundary - edged between the slips off Jerome Taylor - before receiving an emotional hug of congratulation from Pietersen, in front of an adoring crowd.

Pietersen, who shared a third-wicket stand of 163 in only 34 overs with his captain, had a let-off on 20 when he was stumped off a Chris Gayle no-ball.

He made it count in a near run-a-ball hundred which contained 13 fours.
