Ranji, the first Indian to play Test cricket, became the second batsman after Grace to score a hundred on debut for England.


He was the first to score a hundred before lunch in a Test match; on the third morning he took his overnight score of 41* to 154*, adding 113 runs in 130
minutes.


Brown kept wicket when Lilley's leg-breaks were required to break a stand.

 

G Giffen became the first to complete the Test career double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets.
