1930:

The last time West Indies batted more than the 129.4 overs they played in the fourth innings of this match to draw or win a Test.

West Indies had played 164.3 overs in a timeless Test against the same opposition in Jamaica, where George Headley had hit

the first fourth-innings double-hundred in Tests.

The last time West Indies batted more than 100 overs in the fourth innings to save a Test was also against England in Antigua, in 2009.

Set a target of 503, they batted 128 overs at St. John's.
