Beaumont and Jones tons set up crushing England win

First ODI, Derby England 345-6 (50 overs): Jones 122 (121); Beaumont 107 (104); Matthews 2-49West Indies 237 (48.2 overs): Joseph 62 (74); Smith 5-36England won by 108 runsScorecard Centuries from Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones set up a crushing 108-run win for England over West Indies in the first one-day international at Derby. Jones was promoted to open for the first time since 2019 and made 122, her first international hundred, and Beaumont added 107 in an opening stand of 222. In her first ODI since being appointed permanent captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt added a rapid 52 from 35 balls to propel England to 345-6. In reply, West Indies openers Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph started positively with a stand of 91 in 14 overs, before debutante Em Arlott claimed the prized wicket of Matthews for 48. Joseph top-scored with 62 but left-arm spinner Linsey Smith ripped through the middle order on ODI debut, finishing with 5-36 as the tourists were bowled out for 237 in the penultimate over. New coach Charlotte Edwards had called for England to be smarter in 50-over cricket since their Ashes drubbing at the beginning of the year, and they started watchfully in overcast conditions, reaching 45-0 from the first 10 fifty came from 74 balls, before a sudden shift in acceleration saw her take just 22 balls to bring up her hundred as she beat Jones to the milestone and was eventually bowled by Cherry-Ann Fraser in the 36th over. Emma Lamb, recalled to the side after impressive domestic form as a Lancashire opener, was put in at number three and was caught behind for two. Jones stuttered as she approached three figures - she was dropped on 91 and 92 by Jahzara Claxton and Karishma Ramharack respectively, both put down in their follow-through, before bringing up a 108-ball ton in her 226th international comfortably won the preceding T20 series 3-0, and the second ODI takes place at Leicester on 4 June. Batters dominate to begin Edwards era When asked about her coaching style and ambitions after being appointed in April, Edwards often made references to England's approach to 50-over cricket, calling for a clearer gameplan and moving away from her predecessor Jon Lewis' mantra of inspiring and the World Cup in this format approaching in the autumn, England do not have long to put this into practice but at the first time of asking, their batters Indies' attack was unthreatening and their fielding average, so it could be argued that Jones and Beaumont could have been a little more aggressive in the first half of the innings as they reached 121-0 after 25 the plan was clear, as the pair adjusted to the slow bowling attack and made sure they had wickets in hand before accelerating in the final 20 played 55% attacking shots inside the first 10 overs, which dropped to 45% in the next 10 and once both openers had passed 50, that increased to 77% between overs opening stand was England's fifth-highest partnership in women's ODI history and their highest for any wicket against West Indies in the format, which set the perfect platform for was playing an unfamiliar role, coming to the crease in the 36th over, but captain Sciver-Brunt whacked six fours and a six from the wilting Windies bowlers as England passed 300 with Capsey, brought in to replace the injured Heather Knight, added a quickfire 24 from 19 balls and despite a fast outfield and good batting surface, the total felt far beyond the tourists, whose batting line-up relies so heavily on their captain and all-rounder Matthews.

Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont hit centuries as England dominate West Indies

Opening pair Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont both struck centuries as England secured a convincing 108-run victory over the West Indies in the first one-day international in Derby. Jones returned to the top order for the first time in six years and hit her maiden ODI century – 12 years after her debut in India – while the dominant Beaumont also impressed with the 11th of her career as the duo frustrated the West Indies in the first innings. The visitors' attack had to wait till the 36th over for their first wicket but England set their opponents 346 to win and they made a fist of things through the opening powerplay courtesy of Hayley Matthews and Qiana Joseph. Linsey Smith claimed a five-wicket haul on her ODI debut, with fellow 50-over debutant Em Arlott getting two wickets of her own and, despite Joseph's half-century, the West Indies fell to a heavy defeat. Jones quickly brought up her half-century while Beaumont was holding it up down the other end – she finally smashed the first six of the innings over wide long-on as she passed the 50 mark from 74 balls. The pair were cruising and the visitors had no answer to their superiority. Beaumont began to put the pedal to the metal after her half-century, with Aaliyah Alleyne slapped for two fours and a six in the first over of her second spell as England flew to 200 with 17 overs still to go. Perhaps Jones was feeling the pressure of being in the nervous 90s and she was let off the hook twice in two overs as the West Indies blew the chance to get her back in the shed with a pair of dropped catches from Jahzara Claxton and Karishma Ramharack. Beaumont needed just 22 balls for her next 50 runs and raised the bat after reaching her century, and her partner was not far behind her as she drilled one through the covers to reach her ton from 108 balls. The West Indies finally made their breakthrough as Cherry-Ann Fraser bowled Beaumont, who looked to dance down the track, and one wicket brought another as Emma Lamb lasted just three balls. Jones' stay at the crease ended in the 39th over and Nat Sciver-Brunt brought up her 23rd ODI fifty before she was caught lbw by Fletcher as England reached 345 at the halfway stage. The West Indies started well with the bat, with Joseph and Matthews finding the boundary regularly in the powerplay to put on an opening partnership of 91 before the latter nicked Arlott into the gloves of Jones. Joseph brought up her second ODI half-century before she was bowled by Alice Capsey and that started a procession of wickets as the West Indies lost their last eight for 98 runs with Linsey slicing through the middle order.

Watch: Burglar uses smoke grenades and sledgehammer in Claridge's raid

A burglar used a sledgehammer and smoke grenades while trying to steal jewels worth £190,000 from Claridge's hotel in Mayfair. Jay McGinty, 37, arrived at the hotel's riding pavilion in March on a Vespa scooter, whilst wearing a balaclava underneath his crash helmet, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said McGinty, of no fixed abode, went through the revolving doors at the hotel's side entrance and pulled pins from several smoke grenades he was carrying. After the grenades went off, he could be seen on CCTV using a sledgehammer to smash a display case containing several items of jewellery. He was stopped by hotel security staff, who detained him until the police arrived. McGinty pleaded guilty to aggravated burglary and was sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on Thursday to six years' imprisonment. Monica Oluwole, from the CPS, said: 'Jay McGinty tried to use a smokescreen to cover his brazen attempt to steal highly valued items of jewellery. 'He was caught red-handed thanks to the quick actions of the hotel security and staff who prevented him from escaping and called the police. 'This heist, although it had all the hallmarks of planning and reconnaissance work, didn't work and we were able to make sure he was brought to justice.'
