    Justin Greaves' Unbeaten 202 Lead West Indies To Epic Draw In Christchurch

    By IANS News December 06, 2025 • 11:44 AM View: 550
    Justin Greaves: A mammoth effort from Justin Greaves, 202 not, and an unbeaten 58 from Kemar Roach helped West Indies pull off an epic draw against New Zealand in the first Test at Hagley Oval. Earlier, the West Indies created history, achieving the highest fourth-innings score in Test cricket on Saturday.

    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.
