Kavem Hodge’s maiden Test century helped the West Indies mount a fightback with the bat against England on day two at Trent Bridge in the second match of this series.
Bowling without their record Test wicket-taker James Anderson for the first time since his retirement, England left the West Indies three wickets down at lunch in reply to the hosts’ 416 all out on day one, as off-spinner Shoaib Bashir struck twice.
Alick Athanaze and Hodge dug in during the afternoon session though, guiding their side to 212-3 at tea on route to putting on a stand of 175 for the fourth wicket before England captain Ben Stokes removed the former for 82 six overs after the resumption of play.
Hodge, who was dropped on 16 by Joe Root, was eventually out for 120 deep into the evening session as the West Indies reached 351-5 at the close, and will resume on day three trailing the hosts by 65 runs.
