Another man who scored a century in his 100th Test match is Alec Stewart. The England wicket keeper played his 100th Test in August 2000, and also won the Man of the Match award for his scintillating performance with the willow at Manchester.

In Stewart’s 100th Test, the West Indies batted first and were bowled out for just 157. In reply, England scored 303, with Stewart leading the charge with the bat in hand. In an innings studded with 13 fours, he scored a 153 ball 105. However, the West Indies came back hard with the bat in the second essay, and scored 438, with batting wizard Brian Lara scoring a blistering 112. The England side was set a target of 293 for victory in their second innings.

The hosts ended their second innings at 80/1, and the match ended in a draw. Stewart is the fourth highest run scorer for England and plundered 8463 runs with the willow. He featured in 133 Tests for his country.
