How often have rival captains got each other out in the same Test?
And what is the highest score by a player in his first innings as captain in a Test?
The exciting behind-closed-doors match in Southampton was the 12th Test in which both captains had dismissed each other, but the first to include three such dismissals. It was the second time Jason Holder had been involved in such an occurrence, as he and Zimbabwe's Graeme Cremer accounted for each other in Bulawayo in 2017-18.
There have been two England players with longer unbroken home runs than Stuart Broad's 51. Since he played 159 successive Tests in all - the record - it's not surprising to find Alastair Cook top of this list too: he played 89 in succession at home between 2006 and 2018. Cook's longtime opening partner Andrew Strauss played 61 successive Tests in England.
You're right to think that this is a rare event these days. The Test in Southampton was the first not to feature a six for about 145 matches, since the Boxing Day Test between South Africa and Sri Lanka in Port Elizabeth in December 2016. There have been only 28 Tests with no sixes since the turn of the millennium.
The highest Test score by a captain in his first innings in charge is 239, by New Zealand's Graham Dowling, against India in Christchurch in 1967-68. Shivnarine Chanderpaul also scored a double-century - 203 not out for West Indies v South Africa in Georgetown in 2004-05. The highest in the second innings of a captain's debut Test is 163, by Clive Lloyd for West Indies against India in Bangalore in 1974-75.
This unfortunate bowler was the Australian legspinner Bryce McGain, who won his only cap against South Africa in Cape Town in March 2009, the week before his 37th birthday. McGain nearly took a wicket early on, as Christian Ryan remembered in this evocative piece for ESPNcricinfo, but after that he was caned, finishing with 0 for 149 from just 18 overs as South Africa ran up 651. McGain took 86 first-class wickets for Victoria - and ten in two matches for Essex in 2010.
