Phil Salt fulfilled a childhood dream at his old stomping ground in Barbados with an unbeaten century to lift England to an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies.

Salt spent six years growing up on the island and estimates he has seen more cricket at the Kensington Oval than anywhere else, so it is little wonder he celebrated his 103 not out off 54 balls with glee.
