Shiv Chanderpaul scored his first Test ton in England but Andrew Flintoff made sure the hosts held a strong advantage over the West Indies at Lord's.
The tourists were dismissed for 416 on the third day - 152 runs behind England despite an unbeaten 128 by Chanderpaul.
And at stumps England had advanced to 71-0, 223 runs ahead with two days left to play in the first Test.
Flintoff bowled an inspired spell after tea to claim 3-25 while Ashley Giles took 4-129 in the innings.
Flintoff, who only came into the attack towards the end of the West Indies innings because of an ankle problem, bowled Dwayne Bravo for a 70-ball 45.
The Lancashire all-rounder then dislodged Tino Best's off-stump for a first-ball duck. Pedro Collins managed to fend off the next ball to deny Flintoff a hat-trick, but the Windies paceman was blowed by a Flintoff inswinger in his next over.
Spinner Giles also played a huge role for England, taking four wickets, including last-man Fidel Edwards for five.
West Indies started the day on 208-4 and still 160 runs short of the follow-on.
But Chanderpaul and debutant Bravo scored at a reasonable pace, notching up a 125-run partnership - a record fifth-wicket stand by West Indies at Lord's.

Bravo departed six balls shy of a half-century when a snorter from Simon Jones was edged to wicket-keeper Geraint Jones. And not long after lunch and with a new ball in his hand, Matthew Hoggard dismissed Ridley Jacobs for 32 when he edged behind attempting a cover drive.
England appealed for a number of lbw decisions.
But umpires Rudi Koertzen and Daryl Harper did not lift their finger to any of them, in stark contrast to some of their controversial decisions on Friday.
Chanderpaul played a determined and patient innings, finally making his 11th Test century from 192 balls, including 14 fours.
Omari Banks looked highly vulnerable early on to the shorter ball but added 45 before becoming Flintoff's first victim.
West Indies lost their last four wickets for 17 runs, giving England 21 overs to extend their already comfortable lead.
Marcus Trescothick was in good touch and put on 71 at stumps with Andrew Strauss, who looked less confident.
