Follow UsEngland pace great Stuart Broad claimed the unwanted record of bowling the most expensive over in Test history on Saturday.
During the second day of the rescheduled fifth Test against India, Broad's 84th over costed 35 runs, which included five wides and a no-ball. Here's how the over transpired.
83.1 With England needing one wicket to close out India's first innings, Broad bowled short to Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah who got a top edge to the long leg boundary after Zak Crawley spilled a difficult catch.
83.2 Broad, who claimed his 550th Test wicket by dismissing Mohammad Shami on the same morning, bowled another bouncer which sailed over Bumrah and the keeper for five wides.
83.2 He sent another short ball to Bumrah, who got a lucky top edge over the keeper's head which also turned out to be a no-ball. The experienced pacer then sent a full toss which was dispatched to the long-on boundary.
83.3 Bumrah got lucky off the next ball, when he got a thick inside edge for another boundary, piling on the frustration for Broad.
83.4 Broad then went for a short ball, which Bumrah pulled to the deep midwicket while losing balance and his left leg grazing the leg stump. Luckily for the Indian skipper, the bails weren't dislodged.
83.5 Another short ball from Broad outside leg stump was powerfully swatted over deep fine leg for a second six which took the over's tally to 34 runs.
83.6 Broad finally got a ball right with fuller length delivery on the off stump, which was defended by Bumrah and called for a single. Broad rushed ahead and hit the stumps but Mohammad Siraj grounded his bat while diving.
BOOM BOOM BUMRAH IS ON FIRE WITH THE BAT 🔥🔥

The over helped India to go from 377/9 to 412/9 in their first innings by the end of the over. There was some respite for Broad soon after when he claimed the catch of Siraj off James Anderson as India ended at 416 all out.
Broad's most infamous moment came also against India in the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup at Kingsmeade, Durban where he was hit for six sixes in an over by Yuvraj Singh.
