The West Indies have pulled off an unlikely five-wicket second cricket test win over England with one of the great fourth innings run chases.

Needing 322 to win on the final day, opener Kraigg Brathwaite led the chase at Headingley with 95 before Shai Hope saw the Windies home with an unbeaten 118.

The victory was completed late on the final day as the light dimmed.

It caps a remarkable turnaround after they were slammed for their first test defeat by an innings and 209 runs at Edgbaston.
