Report on England's innings of 371-7
Opening batsman Jason Roy (110 from 82 balls) - mentioned by England coach Trevor Bayliss as a potential Test call-up this summer - reached three figures from 78 deliveries before retiring out against a University of West Indies Vice Chancellor's XI at Three Ws Oval in Barbados.
Root (114 off 81) completed a 74-ball ton before he was stumped late on as he backed up his 122 against Windies in the final Test in St Lucia last week - the Yorkshireman's knock helping England to 371-7 from their 50 overs.
However, skipper Eoin Morgan was run out for eight and Alex Hales - batting at No 6 with Jos Buttler given extended rest after the Test series against Windies - was dismissed for a duck second ball.
Roy struck 15 fours and a six in his innings, putting on 129 with Jonny Bairstow (46) for the opening wicket, after the latter was dropped on nine, and then 57 with Test captain Root for the second wicket.
Root racked up four sixes and 11 fours before he was out to Keron Cottoy, leaving Chris Woakes (22no) and Liam Plunkett (5no) to round off the innings.
Moeen Ali (24) and Ben Stokes (23) also got a hit ahead of the opening ODI against Windies at Kensington Oval on Wednesday

Rashid's a wicket taker, if you're not getting wickets, get him on ffs. Obviously not bringing him on because they're scared of run rate, but plunkett is at 9 an over so I don't see the issue.

Fancy this team to chase down any total, so even if they add 100 off these last 10 I'd back England.

Well batted Crystal, may not have been a contest this game if Roy wouldn't have dropped that dolly but always a pleasure to see gayle bat
Why is Rashid bowling the last couple of overs? Gone for a shed full
