ENG vs WI: Ben Duckett's Rampage Leads England & Bazball To An Unbelievable World Record In Tests

England and Bazball are back after their blip against India back in March, as they continue to revolutionalise test cricket and continue to wow spectators in red ball cricket. 

On the first day of England's second test against West Indies at Trent Bridge, Ben Stokes and his side came out to bat first. Despite losing opener Zak Crawly for a duck, England opener Ben Duckett ran rampage over the West Indies bowling lineup as England stormed to a World Record. 

England and Bazball's Unbelievable World Record

Ben Duckett and England made a statement that they are not looking to move past Bazball any time soon as they smashed West Indies all over the park and managed to reach 50 runs inside just 4.2 overs.

Reaching 50 runs inside just 26 balls means it is the fastest ever team fifty scored in Test Cricket history. In setting this new World Record England broke their very own 30-year record of the fastest ever team 50 scored, when they smashed South Africa for 50 in 4.3 overs at the Oval back in 1994.
