Brook 91 cements England dominance as Usman fights for Pakistan
Quartet of fifties help to grow lead but Pakistan's left-arm spinner claims five in adversity
During the first Test match between England and Pakistan at Headingley on Wednesday, seamers Ollie Robinson and Josh Tongue achieved a remarkable feat by bagging five-wicket hauls in the same innings. The duo then decided to creatively commemorate their exceptional bowling skills by physically splitting the cricket ball in half.
Ollie Robinson expressed his admiration for the groundstaff, who swiftly executed their unique idea and presented him with a half-ball as a memento. The resolution to split the ball proved to be a memorable and innovative way for the English pair to preserve this extraordinary accomplishment from their innings.
