NEW DELHI: Kavem Hodge expressed satisfaction in achieving his first Test century during a challenging encounter with Mark Wood at Trent Bridge on Friday. During the intense battle, Hodge playfully reminded the England fast bowler that he had "a wife and kids at home".
Hodge's impressive 120 formed the backbone of West Indies' 351-5 at the close of play on day two, reducing the deficit to just 65 runs in response to England's first innings total of 416. This performance marked a significant improvement from their disappointing batting display in the innings and 114-run defeat at Lord's, which had left the West Indies trailing 1-0 in the three-match series.
