England captain Michael Vaughan became only the third man in history to make hundreds in both innings of a Lord's Test, on the fourth day of the first Test against the West Indies.
When bad light ended play with seven overs left in the day, West Indies were 114 for three, needing a further 364 to reach their imposing victory target of 478 on Monday's final day in the opening match of a four-Test series.
West Indies captain Brian Lara was 11 not out and first innings centurion Shivnarine Chanderpaul four not out.
Vaughan declared at tea on 101 not out, following his first innings 103, with England 325 for five after Andrew Flintoff fell for a rapid 58.
Yorkshire's Vaughan followed West Indies great George Headley, who scored 106 and 107 in 1939 and England's Graham Gooch who made 333 and 123 against India in 1990.
He was only the second England batsman to make hundreds in both innings of a Test against the West Indies after Alec Stewart (118 and 143) at Bridgetown in 1993-94.
Only seven other Englishman before Vaughan had made hundreds in both innings of a Test match with nine other Test captains having previously achieved the same feat.
West Indies then lost opener Devon Smith (six) lbw to left-arm spinner Ashley Giles and Ramnaresh Sarwan (four) was equally plumb to paceman Matthew Hoggard, the tourists 35 for two.
But England then twice missed dashing opening batsman Chris Gayle in the space of three balls with Durham quick Stephen Harmison, whose 23 wickets in the Caribbean had been the backbone of England's 3-0 Test series concluded April, the luckless bowler.
First the left-hander slashed at Harmison only for wicket-keeper Geraint Jones, who had moved towards Marcus Trescothick at first slip, to stop and let the ball go through the gap to give Gayle his eighth four and a 53-ball fifty.
Then, fending at a rising Harmison ball one-handed, Gayle on 53 saw Graham Thorpe in the gully just fail to hang onto a leaping right-handed chance.
Harmison, wicketless in the first innings, had his revenge when Gayle, on 81 inside edged a yorker onto his leg stump.
West Indies were 102 for three and were lucky not to be 107 for four when Chanderpaul, gloved his first ball, from Giles, to short leg where Robert Key took a diving catch.
However, South African umpire Rudi Koertzen denied Giles what would have been his 100th Test wicket.
Meanwhile 35-year-old Lara, yet to score a Test hundred at Lord's and in what looked like being his final international appearance on the ground, started cautiously, the left-hander taking 18 balls to get off the mark.
