West Indies captain Chris Gayle was delighted to score his first century on his home ground as West Indies closed on 352 for seven on day three of the first Test against England at Sabina Park.

Gayle hit 104, including five sixes, before he was dismissed by Stuart Broad as the hosts established a lead of 34.

"It meant a lot to me," the opener told Sky Sports 1. "The last game I played here I got a pair so it's nice to give the home crowd something to cheer about."

Ramnaresh Sarwan also helped himself to a century, eventually falling to Andrew Flintoff for 107, but Gayle believes his side still have a lot to do.

"Sarwan got a hundred as well, but at the same time it's not over 'til it's over," Gayle added.

"Give credit to the England bowlers, they bowled really well on a flat wicket. We stuck to the plan today. Hopefully tomorrow we can continue where we left off.
