Stuart Broad put himself in elite company as one of just seven men in the history of Test cricket with a five-wicket haul and a century at Lord's on their CV.
Broad's six for 72 on day one of the Investec series against the West Indies helped restrict the tourists to 243 for nine, despite Shivnarine Chanderpaul's unbeaten 87.
It also put him in the same bracket as his former team-mate Andrew Flintoff, and England's greatest all-rounder Ian Botham - among others - following his career-best 169 against Pakistan at the home of cricket two years ago.

England were on top at the end of Day 1, thanks mainly to Stuart Broad. Though Chanderpaul put up a fight, none of the other WI batsmen managed to stick around. WI will be hoping to get Chris Gayle back in the side as soon as possible. Stuart Broad on the other hand is fast maturing as England's all-rounder. It remains to be seen what he does with the bat.
