England set a record for the fastest fifty in Test cricket history, reaching the milestone in just 4.2 overs against the West Indies at Trent Bridge. Ben Duckett (33 from 14 balls) and Ollie Pope (16 not out from 9 balls) played key roles, hitting ten boundaries. This surpasses England's previous record of 4.3 overs set against South Africa in 1994. England now hold the top three spots for the fastest team fifties in Test cricket history.
