Devon Conway creates history with Mount Maunganui double act
Devon Conway becomes the first New Zealander to score a double-century and a century in the same Test match.
New Zealand opener Devon Conway has created history in Mount Maunganui by becoming the first player from his country to score a double-century and a century in the same Test.
Conway achieved the feat just prior to tea on the penultimate day's play at Bay Oval in the third and final Test between New Zealand and the West Indies when he brought up his hundred in the second innings with a simple cut shot off Anderson Phillip.

It saw Conway reach triple figures in the second innings of the match, with the in-form left-hander adding an unbeaten century to the superb knock of 227 in the first innings that helped the hosts to a mammoth total.
Conway in the process became the first person from New Zealand and just the 10th player overall to have scored a double-century and century in the same Test, with the 34-year-old joining an illustrious group that includes Brian Lara, Graham Gooch, Kumar Sangakkara and more recently Marnus Labuschagne and Shubman Gill.
