Double figure scores by all eleven

The fourth and final Test between England and the West Indies at The Oval threw up a very rare occurrence in Test cricket.

England made 470 in their first innings without a single batsman scoring a century. In fact the highest was only 72 (by Andrew Flintoff), but four batsmen scored fifties and all eleven moved into double figures, with the lowest being 10 by number three Robert Key.

In the history of Test matches, spanning 127 years and 1712 matches, there have been only ten instances of all eleven players of a side making a contribution of 10 or more in the same innings.

England now join India with three such instances -- the maximum in Test cricket. Australia and South Africa are the two other countries to have done so -- twice apiece.

These 10 instances are listed hereunder in chronological order:
