And didn't take long to notch up century # 34.
Most hundreds in Tests for England

34 - Joe Root | 33 - Alastair Cook | 23 - Kevin Pietersen | 22 - Wally Hammond | 22 - Colin Cowdrey | 22 - Geoffrey Boycott | 22 - Ian Bell

England batters with most Test hundreds at a venue

7 - Joe Root at Lord's | 6 - Graham Gooch at Lord's | 6 - Michael Vaughan at Lord's

Hundreds in both innings of a Test at Lord's

Scores Player Team Opponent Year
106 & 107 George Headley West Indies v England 1933
333 & 123 Graham Gooch England v India 1990
103 & 101* Michael Vaughan England v West Indies 2004
143 & 103 Joe Root England v Sri Lanka 2024

Gooch's aggregate of 456 in the aforementioned game is the highest for anyone in a Test match.

Becoming common

Ayush Shukla, a 21-year-old Hong Kong cricketer, made history by becoming the third bowler ever to deliver four consecutive maiden overs in a T20 International (T20I) match. This achievement also marks him as the first bowler from Asia to reach this milestone.

Shukla's impressive performance occurred during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier against Mongolia, where he finished with bowling figures of 4-4-0-1.

Taking the new ball for Hong Kong, Shukla bowled his four overs consecutively. He began with a wicket maiden, dismissing Bat-yalalt Namsrai, followed by 18 consecutive dot balls, maintaining significant pressure on the Mongolian batsmen.

Prior to Shukla, only Canada's Saad Bin Zafar and New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson had managed to bowl four straight maiden overs in a T20I match. Saad Bin Zafar achieved this in 2021 against Panama, with figures of 4-4-0-2. Lockie Ferguson matched the feat during the T20 World Cup earlier this year, ending with figures of 4-4-0-3 against Papua New Guinea.

How quickly it changes , 2nd T20I Head gets a golden 🦆.

Hardie in for Meredith was the only change

Inglis 103 (49) , fastest T20I by an Australian (even if he was born in England 😀)
