Justin Greaves' Unbeaten 202 Lead West Indies To Epic Draw In Christchurch
With a career-high score of 202 not out, batting all-rounder Justin Greaves led the Windies and briefly threatened to have the unachievable mark of 531 chased down. The Barbados right-hander is only the seventh player in Test history to score a double hundred in a match's fourth innings. Pace bowler Kemar Roach (58*), who also recorded his best-ever innings from 86 Test matches, provided him with fitting support. On Day 5, he faced 233 balls on an extremely flat Christchurch pitch during his exhausting 282-minute stint.
With 5/78 in the Kiwis' second innings, Roach, 37, became the fourth-oldest player in a Test to register both a five-wicket haul and a half-century in the same game. Shai Hope also scored a tonne earlier in the innings before getting removed for 140 off of Jacob Duffy's bowling.
