On Day 4 of the rescheduled fifth Test between England and India at Edgbaston, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant broke a 72-year-old record. Pant, who has been in great form this Test following his 146 in the first innings, achieved the feat of most runs by a visiting wicketkeeper-batter in a Test match in England.
West Indies’ Clyde Walcott held the previous record for this, scoring an aggregate of 182 in a Test against England at Lord’s way back in 1950. With Pant scoring 57 in India’s second innings, he aggregated 203 runs across the two innings in Edgbaston.
He was dismissed by Jack Leach, the very bowler her had smashed all over the park in the first innings.

India’s previous best was by former captain MS Dhoni when he scored an aggregate of 151 at Birmingham back in 2011.
After being put into bat by England, India seemed to be in trouble at 98/5 in the first innings, but Pant and Ravindra Jadeja (104) took India to 416 in the first innings.
England could manage just 284 in their first innings, meaning India gained a lead of 132 runs.
India are aiming for a first Test series win in England since 2007.
