Kavem Hodge’s incredible century against England at Trent Bridge has sparked an exciting match between the two cricket teams. Despite England’s strong performance in their first innings, Hodge’s exceptional play led the West Indies to a strong position in the match.
Hodge, playing in only his fourth Test match, displayed determination and skill as he scored his maiden Test century. His partnership with Alick Athanaze added crucial runs for the West Indies, putting them in a good position to challenge England.
