On a historic day for the West Indies, the team secured a four-wicket victory over England in the first Test at Southampton on July 12, 2020.
Jermaine Blackwood's impressive 95-run innings was a key factor in the West Indies' win, with the team set to win on the last day.
However, the West Indies were initially reeling at 27-3 after England fast bowler Jofra Archer's early double strike.
But Blackwood held firm, cover-driving both Dom Bess and James Anderson for two of his dozen boundaries in a 154-ball innings.
West Indies captain Jason Holder, the world's top-ranked Test all-rounder, was 14 not out, and praised his team's effort in a post-match interview.
'It is right up there with the best victories we've had as a group,' Holder said.
Holder sparked a collapse that saw England lose five wickets for 30 runs late Saturday when he dismissed Stokes.
England's first innings had been the key to the game, according to stand-in captain Ben Stokes, who said the team had been 'ruthless enough' to make their innings count.
Windies spearhead fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was named man-of-the-match following combined figures of 9-137, including 5-75 in the second innings.
