Sir Jimmy adds to his record of 0*. Wonder how many that is now?
Time for the serious stuff with Jimmy steaming in.

Anderson went 50 odd innings once without getting out for a duck. He was also the last Englishman to get a king pair, I think, something that hadn’t happened for a century. You play for so long you’ll inevitably get records.

Didn't Sam Curran get a king pair in the last Test?

Forgot that. You wait a hundred years and then two come along…

Not much of a wag from the tail then.

Always the way. Bit like Stokes amazing innings at Headingley against Australia a few years back.

Seemed like the sort of thing that doesn't happen very often yet Sri Lanka had managed almost exactly the same thing just a few months prior.

Some catch by Bairstow, much needed.
