England have rather dug themselves out of a hole here TBH
Lots.How many players are on both the batting (century maker) and bowling honours (5 wickets) board at Lords?
Gus Atkinson becomes only the sixth player to hit a century, take five wickets in an innings and take 10 wickets in a match at Lord's.
The others are Gubby Allen (England), Keith Miller (Australia), Stuart Broad (England), Chris Woakes (England) and Ian Botham (England).

Atkinson by far the fastest to do it (four innings)
Joe Root's fault. Smith knew he hadn't hit it but Root insisted.Ollie Pope with one of the worst reviews of all time. Ball has missed the bat by about a FOOT!
Then it's Smith's fault isn't it? But he doesn't seem to think catching is part of his job based on the last ballJoe Root's fault. Smith knew he hadn't hit it but Root insisted.
Smith was saying he hadn't hit it but Root insisted and Pope listened to Root. You can't blame Smith for that one.Then it's Smith's fault isn't it? But he doesn't seem to think catching is part of his job based on the last ball
Not too expensive - Madushka, bowled Woakes for 7And now Smith watches an edge fly between himself and first slip.
Vinoo Mankad against England in 1952, and Botham against Pakistan in 1978, have both scored a hundred and taken 5 in an innings in the same match at Lords.I wonder if a player has done both in a Test match. It sounds like a Botham or Hadlee thing
Can confirm that Stone does, in fact, exist.Looking forward to it, primarily because it's an ideal test of my theory that Olly Stone doesn't actually exist.
Could be marvellous. Might not be full at this rate. Follow on before the close?In the Grandstand on Saturday, should be a marvellous day
