By the time the match ended in an eight-wicket victory for England, Mankad had been on the field for 18 hours and 45 minutes out of the total 24 hours and 35 minutes the match lasted. He had scored 256 runs and taken 5 wickets in a single game—a feat so rare that it made him the first visiting player in history to get on the Lord’s Honours Board for both batting and bowling in the same Test.
