EXPLAINED: Ollie robinson reaches major milestone in englands final test against pakistan | Rare Historical Photos

  • England seam bowler Ollie Robinson took his 100th Test wicket on the opening morning of the final Test against Pakistan at Edgbaston.
  • Robinson thought he had got the landmark wicket in his first over when Saim Ayub was given out, but the Pakistan opener overturned the decision on review.
  • However, his reprieve was a brief one, as Ayub was dismissed by Robinson in the England bowler’s second over, with the umpire correctly giving him out leg before wicket (LBW).
  • Robinson now has 100 wickets at an average below 20, becoming the first England bowler to achieve this feat since Ian Botham.
  • The 32-year-old has enjoyed an impressive summer after returning to the Test fold following an absence of over two years.
