Ollie Robinson posts sub-19 Test average after 20 matches

Ollie Robinson became the first bowler since 1914 to post a sub-19 average after 20 Tests.

Ollie Robinson achieved a Test bowling average below 19 after his 20th match, the first bowler to do so since Sydney Barnes in 1914. The England seamer took two wickets in Pakistan's second innings at Edgbaston. Robinson joins a group of five bowlers with this record in Test history.

His figures place him among the most economical bowlers in the modern era. The achievement comes after years of domestic performances that established Robinson as one of England's most consistent wicket-takers. The 26-year-old has maintained his accuracy across varying conditions.

England completed a 3-0 series sweep against Pakistan with an eight-wicket win in the third Test at Edgbaston. Captain Joe Root and Jordan Cox helped the hosts recover from 2 for 2 to chase down 130.
