Chris Gayle was delighted to notch his first Test century on his home ground of Sabina Park in Jamaica as West Indies reached 352-7 after the third day of the first Test.

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.
