West Indies made 411, captain Kraigg Brathwaite made 160 from 489 balls, the most balls faced by a West Indian batsman since Brian Lara made his 400*. Brathwaite batted for 710 minutes, the third longest amount of time batted by a Windies batsman. The top two longest are by Lara, 778 mins when he made his 400* and 766 when in made his 375.
Jack Leach bowled 69.5 overs in the Windies innings, the most overs bowled by an English bowler this century.
Jack Leach bowled 94.5 overs in the match, the most overs bowled in a match by an English bowler since 1962.
I'd be guessing Chanderpaul probably held the West Indian record for most balls faced in a match previously?
Braithwaite would have to be one of the most unconvincing semi successful opening batsman ever. Has no style at all and a technique you'd think wouldn't last 5 overs. Credit to him for showing such determination but is someone i cant stand to watch
