Kavem Hodge showcased resilience facing Mark Wood's rapid bowling, humorously mentioning his family during the intense battle, leading to his maiden Test century for West Indies at Trent Bridge, reducing the deficit to 65 runs against England. Wood's express pace and history-making delivery challenged Hodge, with the England bowler hitting Alick Athanaze on the helmet before leaving the field due to cramps. Despite the tough encounter, Hodge expressed satisfaction with his century, emphasizing the mental and physical challenges of Test cricket and the rewarding experience of facing formidable bowlers like Wood.
