Stuart Broad sent down the most expensive over in Test history as India piled on tail-end runs at Edgbaston.
England pacer Stuart Broad on Saturday bowled the most expensive over in Test cricket as he gave away 35 runs in the ongoing match against India at Edgbaston, Birmingham. 29 runs came from the bat from the bat of India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah while the rest were extras. As a result, Broad broke the record of South Africa spinner Robin Peterson as he ended up giving away 28 runs against West Indies in 2003.
Stuart Broad dismissed Mohammed Shami to become only the third pacer and sixth bowler overall to take 550 wickets in the longest format.

Virat Kohli and other Indian players were seen having a gala time as Bumrah tore into Broad at Edgbaston.
Jasprit Bumrah is one of the finest fast bowlers of the modern era, but on Saturday he shocked everybody with some terrific batting against England in Edgbaston on Day of the fifth rescheduled Test. The victim of his assault was England pacer Stuart Broad, who ended up conceding 35 runs in an over - the most scored in an over in Test cricket. Bumrah kept punishing the short balls that came his way from Broad and scored 29 runs in the over. Ultimately, Bumrah ended on 31* with four fours and two sixes. India were all out for 416 in the first innings.
India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah bludgeoned a hapless Stuart Broad for 29 runs to create a world record for maximum runs off a single over in Test cricket, beating the legendary Brian Lara's feat by one run.
