TOP SPIN AT THE TEST

BOB TREASURE at Headingley

-

1995 THE last time a West Indies batsman made a higher score than the 147 by Shai Hope (right) in an away Test against England — that was Brian Lara’s 179 at The Oval.

2014 WEST Indies scored 400 in a Test innings for the first time since September 2014 — 26 matches ago.

0 HISTORY favours West Indies in this match — they’ve posted a first-innings lead of at least 150 in 116 Test matches and never lost having done so.

3 Five-wicket hauls for Jimmy Anderson in his last three innings at Headingley — the seamer had not managed a five-for in any of his previous 12 Test innings at the ground.

2004 This is the first time West Indies have had a first-innings lead at all in England in 12 Tests here — their last was at Old Trafford in 2004.
