England great Stuart Broad set a new if unwanted record by conceding 35 runs in a Test over, against India at Edgbaston on Saturday.

Stand-in India captain Jasprit Bumrah did the bulk of the damage by hitting 29 runs off the bat in an over from Broad that also featured five wides and a no-ball struck for six.

The 29 runs taken by Bumrah is itself a record for most runs scored by a batsman in a Test over.

The previous record was of 28 runs, a feat achieved three times in the format's 145-year history. West Indies' Brian Lara, Australia's George Bailey and South Africa's Keshav Maharaj shared the feat.
