WI vs ENG: Jaosn Holder breaks Vivian Richards' record with his double ton

Holder's 229-ball 200 is the second fastest Test double-century against England

Holder’s 202* was also the second highest score by a player batting at No 6 or lower in the second innings - after Don Bradman's iconic 270

Timing the ball exquisitely and looking particularly impressive driving on both sides of the wicket, Holder did not spurn opportunities to go the aerial route.

Holder smashed eight sixes to become the record-holder for most sixes in an innings by a West Indian against England

He went past Viv Richards's record of seven maximums.

Holder's 202 not out occupied 284 minutes during which he faced 229 balls. He smashed 23 fours and 8 sixes during the innings.

This colossal partnership took the Windies to 415 for 6 before declaring their innings, setting a 628-run target.

England would have hoped to bundle up Windies after the historic 18-wicket day but home skipper Holder and his partner Shane Dowrich ensured the visitors never went past them.

The duo batted for almost five hours on Friday and remained unbeaten after stitching a 295-run partnership - the third highest for the seventh wicket in Tests.
