Hope floats Windies win

-

WEST Indies were pinching themselves in Leeds last night after Shai Hope inspired them to one of the most astonishin­g wins in Test history over a shellshock­ed England.

Set 322 to win, the tourists – who had been thrashed in three days in the first Test at Edgbaston – knocked off the runs for the loss of only five wickets. Hope added 118 to his first-innings 147 to become the first player to score twin hundreds in the same firstclass game at Headingley and set up a decider at Lord’s next week.
