World Record looks set to go

Going into today's fourth day play in the India - Pakistan test, the last line of the Pakistan scorecard of 5-369 reads
Extras (b 31, lb 25, nb 14) 70

That's just one behind the all-time record of 71 conceded by the West Indies in 1988 (against Pakistan as well) and young Kartik has obviously had a disaster behind the stumps with 31 byes already, and five wickets still to be taken.

One very impressive record, hope they keep batting and perhaps we could have 100 extras

Interesting point, player waves the bat, bowler on 5 wickets holds the ball aloft, spose the keeper has to waive his gloves in the air and take a bow :wink:

That's probably for 5 dismissals. :)

May get close to 100 extras if Pakistan is playing for "1st innings points" only.

Three more byes are needed to break the Test innings record - 37, conceded by England vs Australia in 1934 at The Oval.
