West Indies were 329 for five in reply to England's first innings 258, a lead of 71 runs, at stumps on Day Two of the second Test at Headingley on Saturday.

Shai Hope was 147 not out - his maiden Test century - after sharing a fourth-wicket stand of 246 with opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who made 134.

England lead this three-match series 1-0 after an innings and 209-run win in the inaugural day-night Test in Britain at Edgbaston last week.

Both the Headingley match and next month's series finale at Lord's are standard 'daytime' red-ball Tests.
