HOW THE 35 RUNS WERE SCORED

-

BROAD’S MOST EXPENSIVE OVER IN TEST HISTORY

1st ball… short, big top edge, through Crawley and over the rope FOUR

2nd ball… dug in short again, swings at it, but misses, clears Billings and goes to the rope FIVE wides

2nd ball (again)… another big top edge goes fine of third man Jack Leach and it’s a SEVEN no ball.

2nd ball (again)… full toss hammered through mid on by Bumrah FOUR

3rd ball… thick edge to fine leg FOUR

4th ball… massive swing takes Bumrah off his feet, but the ball sails through midwicket for FOUR

5th ball…. more short stuff swung away over deep backward square leg SIX

6th ball… blocked and runs a quick single ONE

35 runs off the ove, beating the previous best/worst 28 jointly held by Brian Lara against Robin Peterson (WI v SA, Jo’burg 2003-04); George Bailey v Jimmy Anderson (Aus v Eng, Perth 2013-14); Keshav Maharaj v Joe Root (SA v Eng, Port Elizabeth, 2019-20)
