Carty was dismissed for 71 by Adil Rashid, but Hope continued to add to England’s misery alongside Sherfane Rutherford, who is on a dream run in ODIs himself.
Rutherford smashed his fourth successive half-century in ODIs while Hope went on to complete his 17th century as West Indies built a solid total. Hope was finally dismissed for 117 in the 47th over.
Interestingly, last year, at this very same venue, Hope had smashed a hundred against England to help his team chase down a target of 326.
