England great Stuart Broad set a new if unwanted record by conceding 35 runs in a Test over, Edgbaston a g ainst on India Saturday. at

Stand- in India captain Jasprit Bumrah did the bulk of the damage by hitting 29 runs off the bat in an over from Broad that also featured five wides and a no-ball struck for six.

The previous most runs scored in a Test over was 28, a feat achieved three times in the format's 145-year history.

India were 377- 9 at the start of the 84th over, with tailender Bumrah -- leading India for the first time in place of regular captain Rohit Sharma who was ruled out with Covid-19 -- on strike.

Bumrah hooked the first ball of the over for four off a top edge and the next delivery saw a bouncer soar over wicketkeeper Sam Billings' head for five wides.

Then came the six from a noball -- worth seven runs in total -- off another top edge.

Broad's following delivery, a full toss that came close to a noball on height, was smashed through mid-on for four.

An edged four to fine leg took India past 400 before Bumrah swung himself off his feet hitting another boundary.

Bumrah then ensured the Test-over record was broken in style with a hooked six off deep backward square leg before the over ended with a scrambled single as Broad failed to run out Mohammad Siraj.

It was not the first hugely expensive over of Broad's international career -- he conceded 36 runs when India's Yuvraj Singh hit him for six sixes during a 2007 World Twenty20 match in Durban.
