In the current Test between New Zealand and West Indies at Mount Maunganui, Tom Latham (137 & 101) and Devon Conway (227 & 100) have become the first opening batters who both scored centuries in both innings of any first-class match.

The closest previous instance also took place in New Zealand: Bert Sutcliffe (141 & 135) and Don Taylor (99 & 143) for Auckland v Canterbury at Auckland in January 1949.
