Greaves' 202* secures West Indies draw in 1st Test vs New Zealand

  • Justin Greaves' unbeaten 202 and Kemar Roach's 58* secured a draw for West Indies against New Zealand in the 1st Test.
  • West Indies posted 457-6 in their second innings, the highest fourth-innings score in five-day Test history, after being set 531 to win.
  • Greaves batted for nearly 9.5 hours, forming a 196-run stand with Shai Hope (140), who played despite an eye infection.
  • New Zealand's depleted bowling attack, due to injuries to key pacers, struggled to take the required wickets on the final day.
  • Both West Indies and New Zealand earned four points each in the new World Test Championship cycle.

Why It Matters: West Indies' historic draw showcases incredible resilience and record-breaking Test batting.
