Justin Greaves scripted history by becoming first bowler in format, since comprehensive records became available, to register five consecutive wicket maidens.
Greaves achieved the feat during a match-changing spell either side of lunch on the third day of the first ICC World Test Championship Test against Pakistan.
The spell also marked Greaves` maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
He surpassed the previous record of four successive wicket maidens, registered by former England fast bowler Stuart Broad.
The 32-year-old cricketer registered the figures of five wickets for 27 runs in 11 overs.
