Australia's Ashton Agar has achieved the highest score ever by a number 11 in a Test match, racing to 98 runs off just 101 balls in the first Test at Trent Bridge.
Making his Test debut, the 19-year-old came to the crease with his team in trouble at 117 for nine.
He batted on to share a Test record last-wicket partnership of 163 with Phil Hughes.
Agar - who has just 10 first-class appearances to his name and was playing for Henley in the Home Counties Premier League just two months ago - fell two runs short of his century when he was caught by Graeme Swann off Stuart Broad at deep mid-wicket.
He comfortably passed the previous high score by a last man on debut, which was the 45 notched by another Australian, Warwick Armstrong, in 1902.
England's Stuart Broad celebrates after taking the Australian's wicket Then he surpassed the previous best score in Test match cricket by an Australian number 11, which was an innings of 61 by fast bowler Glenn McGrath.
However, he then outdid the highest Test innings by any number 11 - which until Thursday was West Indian Tino Best's 95 against England last year.
The left-arm spinner scored at a strike rate of 97.02, just under a run a ball, throughout his innings - and 60 of his runs came from boundaries.
His dismissal saw Australia all out for 280 in reply to England's first innings of 215.
