Australian skipper Pat Cummins shattered a 43-year-old record on Day 2 of the ICC World Test Championship Final against South Africa at Lord’s.
Cummins claimed 6 wickets for just 28 runs, making him the most economical fast bowler-captain to achieve a six-wicket haul in Test cricket. The previous best was England’s Bob Willis with 6 for 101 against India in 1982, while New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori had taken 5 for 69.
