T P SPIN AT THE TEST

- By LAWRENCE BOOTH

WHEN Kyle Hope was removed by Stuart Broad for just one, it meant he finished the series with 41 runs at an average of 6.83. No player has been dismissed six times in a three-match series in England for fewer runs since Australia’s Alec Bannerman (right) in 1888, who hit 19. ADD the first-innings totals and you get 317 — the lowest first-innings aggregate in a Lord’s Test since 1958, when England’s 269 was followed by New Zealand’s 47, an aggregate of 316. KIERAN POWELL’S dismissal for 45 extended his sequence without a Test half-century to 29 innings, stretching all the way back to November 2012, when he hit a pair of hundreds against Bangladesh in Dhaka.
