The first of 114 Test centuries made at the ground was scored by the Englishman Stanley Jackson against Australia in 1905. The Australian Donald Bradman holds the record for the highest Test innings at Headingley. Bradman's innings of 334 not out, scored in 1930, was also the highest of his Test career. Bradman made a second triple century at Headingley when he scored 304 in 1934. The only other player to score a triple century at the ground is the Englishman John Edrich who made 310 not out against New Zealand in 1965. Geoffrey Boycott and Donald Bradman are the only players to have scored four Test centuries at Headingley.[4] The West Indies' Shai Hope is the only batsman to score centuries in each innings of a Test. No player had managed this in any previous first-class match at the ground.
