Tagenarine Chanderpaul made history with his double ton against Zimbabwe in the first Test.

With his unbeaten double century, he and his father, West Indian legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul, became only the second father-son pair to score double hundreds in Tests.

The West Indians have joined the former Pakistani duo of Hanif and Shoaib Mohammed, the first father-son pair to achieve the feat.

During his unbeaten double ton, Tagenarine along with captain Kraigg Brathwaite created yet another record. The 336-run stand between the two is now the highest opening partnership for the West Indies in Tests.
