Peter Willey hit 100* and added 117 with Bob Willis against West Indies at The Oval in 1980

Brief Scores: England 370 (Gooch 83; Croft 3/97, Garner 2/67) and 209/9 dec (Willey 100*; Holding 4/79, Garner 3/24) drew with West Indies 265 (Bacchus 61; Dilley 4/57, Emburey 2/38)

In the fourth Test of West Indies' tour of England in 1980, the hosts posted 370 batting first – the top three hit half-centuries with a highest of 83 from Graham Gooch – in whose reply the visitors fell behind with only 265 on the board as Graham Dilley bagged 4/57. With a first-innings lead of 105 in the bag, England aimed at setting a daunting target for West Indies, but suffered a big collapse with the big figure of Michael Holding leading the way with the ball.

In the company of Colin Croft and Joel Garner, Holding – who finished with 4/79 – reduced England to 92/9.

But tailenders Peter Willey and Bob Willis were not going to give up against the great bowling attack. The pair added 117 unbeaten runs and frustrated the West Indies bowlers with Willey ending on 100* and number eleven Willis contributing 24*. England got to 209/9, after which they declared and the match finished in a draw. Eventually, West Indies won the five-match series 1-0 courtesy of a victory in the first Test.
