'Put it on my bathroom door': Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson find unique solution to sharing five-wicket haul match ball
Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson came up with a quirky solution after both claimed five-wicket hauls in the same innings.
Josh Tongue and Ollie Robinson made history by sharing a five-wicket haul in a single Test innings, a feat not seen since 2006. The duo took five wickets each, bowling England to a 171-run victory over Pakistan at Headingley. With only one match ball to share, the pair devised an unusual solution to the problem. The groundsman got creative and cut the ball in half, allowing both players to keep a piece as a souvenir.
Tongue playfully joked about putting half the ball on his bathroom door, while Robinson found it amusing to have a piece of history to remember the unique match.
