Leeds: Shai Hope led the West Indies to an astonishing five-wicket win over England in the second Test on Tuesday as he became the first batsman to score hundreds in both innings of a first-class match at Headingley.

The West Indies, set 322 to win, finished on 322 for five with Hope making 118 not out — his second hundred of the match after his first-innings 147.

The 23-year-old Hope had not made a hundred in any of his previous 11 Test matches.

Victory gave West Indies their first Test match win in England since 2000 and saw them level the three-match series at 1-1 after they suffered a humiliating innings and 209-run defeat inside three days in the first Test at Edgbaston.

It was also, excluding fixtures against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, just the West Indies’ fourth Test win away from home in 88 matches spanning 20 years.

Kraigg Brathwaite narrowly failed to reach the milestone when the opener was dismissed by off-spinner Moeen Ali shortly before tea for 95.

Together with Hope, he put on 144 for the third wicket.

The pair had shared a stand of 246 in West Indies’ first innings, with Hope making 147 — his maiden Test century — and Brathwaite 134.

Their performance this match has been all the more impressive given West Indies’ innings and 209-run thrashing by England inside three days in the first of this three-Test series at Edgbaston.

After rain delayed yesterday’s scheduled start by 15 minutes, West Indies resumed on five without loss.

James Anderson walked out just three wickets away from becoming the first England bowler to take 500 Test wickets.

Anderson had remained on 497 in the six overs of the West Indies’ chase that were possible on Monday after England captain Joe Root declared his side’s second innings on 490 for eight, with Moeen Ali’s 84 — one of six fifties in the innings — having seemingly put the match beyond West Indies’ reach.

England, who had been 169 runs behind on first innings, were helped considerably by several West Indies dropped catches, with the tourists’ misses this match amounting to a total of 238 runs.

But the West Indies had an early reprieve yesterday when normally reliable first slip Alastair Cook dropped Brathwaite, yet to add to his overnight four, off Stuart Broad as he failed to hold a two-handed, chest-high, chance to his left.

The closest Anderson came to a wicket in the session was when Brathwaite, on 22, edged him just short of third slip Tom Westley.

Instead it was Broad who struck twice in contrasting fashion as the West Indies’ 46 for none became 53 for two.

Broad had a ‘conventional’ wicket when Powell (23) fended to Stokes at fourth slip.

He then removed Kyle Hope for the unluckiest of ducks when, having dropped a fiercely hit return catch from Brathwaite, the ball deflected off his thigh and into the stumps at the bowler’s end, with the non-striker run out as he backed up.

West Indies were 86 for two at lunch, with Brathwaite 49 not out and Shai Hope,

Kyle’s younger brother, unbeaten on 11.
