England fast bowler Ollie Robinson conceded a record 43 runs in an over during a County Championship match against Leicestershire on Wednesday. The Sussex seamer was struck for five sixes, three off no-balls, three fours and a single by Leicestershire's Louis Kimber.
It was the most expensive over in the 134-year history of the County Championship. Kimber's feat is also the most runs scored by a batter in an over of English first-class cricket.
Previously, the record for most runs conceded in an over was 38, shared by Alex Tudor (1998) and Shoaib Bashir (2024). Robinson hopes to play a key role for England's Test side this summer, especially with Jimmy Anderson's retirement.
