In the second Test against England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, the West Indies staged a remarkable fightback. Beginning the second day on a strong note, openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Mikyle Louis set the tone with a solid start.
Early setback for the West Indies
The pair added 53 runs for the first wicket before England responded by taking three quick wickets, reducing the Windies to 84/3. Despite this setback, a resilient century partnership between Alick Athanaze and Kavem Hodge reꦅvitalized the Caribbean side. The duo amassed 175 runs for the fourth wicket, both making significant c♐ontributions.
Kavem Hodge’s maiden century
Athanaze was eventually dismissed for a wel🍃l-played 82, but Hodge continued to shine, achieving a landmark century. On the fourth ball of the 66th over, Hodge drove the ball past mid-off for a boundary, reaching his maiden hu𓆏ndred in style.
His celebration was a moment of pure elation, as he lifted his arms, pumped his fist, and leaped into the air, soaking in the applause from the crowd. Hodge’s century was not just a personal milestone but a crucial innings that put the West Indies in a strong position. Hodge ended up scoring 120 runs off 171 balls, including 19 boundaries.

One of the smaller islands in the English speaking Caribbean; 74,000 population, the island♏ of Dominica can be very proud today of Kavem Hodge’s first test century. Not to mention his partnership with other Alick Athanaze.

Kavem Hodge is only in his fourth Test, yet he's already played two memorable knocks…
At Gabba, he scored 71 runs, partnering for a 149-run sixth-wicket stand when West Indies was struggling at 64/5.
Today, he made a brilliant century after coming inꦜ at 84/3.This shows that…
