West Indies all-rounder Justin Greaves played one of the great fourth-innings knocks in Test cricket history to single-handedly save his team from defeat against New Zealand in Christchurch. Coming into this match with a modest Test average of just 22, Greaves remained not out on 202, off 388 balls. His brilliant blending of calm defensive play with patience saw the West Indies finish on 6/457. Greaves joined hands with veteran tailender Kemar Roach for an unbelievable 180-run stand that lasted more than 60 overs. Their partnership will be remembered for years as they denied New Zealand every chance of winning the match. The total was the second-highest fourth innings total in Test history, behind only England's famous 654 in the 1939 "Timeless Test" against South Africa, a match that ended only because the team had to catch a boat home. The West Indies were 6/399 at tea on Day 5, only 132 runs away from breaking their own record of the highest successful chase in Test cricket. That record, 418 against Australia in 2003, remains intact. Instead, the duo decided on safety over risk, a decision to ensure a draw rather than go for a chase that could have resulted in a collapse.

Making his 86th Test appearance at the age of 37, he reached his maiden fifty. Then he blocked everything thrown at him, not scoring a single run for 72 balls. He survived a crucial moment when he edged spinner Michael Bracewell, but the umpire gave it not out and New Zealand had already used all three reviews. The New Zealand bowlers put everything they could into the game, but injuries were against them greatly. Matt Henry (calf) and Nathan Smith (side) did not bowl on the final day. Even wicketkeeper Tom Blundell was out with a hamstring problem, compelling captain Tom Latham to take the gloves. Jacob Duffy bowled 43 overs in only his second Test for figures of 3/122. Youngster Zak Foulkes also sent down 33 overs. Bracewell toiled for 1/138 off 55 and Rachin Ravindra for 0/69 off 21.3 but could not break the resistance. The Windies were chasing 531 after centuries from Rachin Ravindra 176* and Tom Latham 145. They were in trouble early at 4/72, but Greaves and Shai Hope added 196 runs to keep the match alive. When Hope fell for 123 and Tevin Imlach for 4, the West Indies were 6/277 with more than two sessions left. But Greaves held on and reached his maiden Test double century with a late four off Duffy. Historical Records of the Test Kemar Roach now holds the record for most innings taken to score a maiden Test fifty - 137 innings, ahead of the likes of James Anderson and Ishant Sharma. Justin Greaves became: Only the 7th batter in the history of Test cricket to score a double hundred in the fourth innings. Only the 4th West Indies player to do so, after George Headley, Gordon Greenidge, and Kyle Mayers It will be remembered as one of West Indies' greatest escapes in Test cricket.
