At end of 3rd over of SRH v DC, Travis Head had 54 not out - the highest individual score after 3 overs of any T20 innings. The 3rd time a player has made 50 inside 3 overs in all T20 cricket (Jaiswal 50*, RR v KKR 2023; Rahul 51*, KXI v DD 2018), and the first in the 1st innings
New Bugle! We celebrate the end of the world, no, hang on, it's just an eclipse. Phew! With @MrNishKumar @aliterative. There's other news too. Be a great listener: lnk.to/BuglePodcast
Another Warwickshire stat: top three have all made 175+. It's the first time in first-class history that numbers 1,2 & 3 have all reached 150. Also the 4th FC innings with three 175+ scores (Hyderabad v Andhra, Jan 1994; West Indians v Leics, Jul 1950; NSW v Victoria, Jan 1909)
It is now... 555-1 is the highest ever 1st-innings score with one wicket down, by a team that has put in to bat in FC cricket. Previously: Karnataka, 553-1 v Madhya Pradesh, Nov 2004.

... Both Worcs & Glam hit three threes in the first three overs of the match. @CricViz data (where ball-by-ball available) has only 15 previous instances of a team hitting 3 3s inside 3 overs at start of an FC game. It had never happened (a) in April; and (b) twice on same day.

Mendis' 266 runs in the match is 2nd-most scored by a batter at no.7 or lower in a Test, after Bradman's 270 (all 2nd inns) at MCG in 1936-37 Ashes. stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stat… Mendis' 164 is 6th highest score at 8 or lower in Tests (2nd highest in 2nd inns). stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stat…
