DeMarcus Lawrence becomes the fourth player with multiple Fumble returns for TDs in the same game. The first was Al Nesser - for the Akron Pros against the Wheeling Stogies on 3 October 1920 - a game in which he also recovered a blocked field goal in the end zone

The Raiders ran only 30 offensive plays in their defeat to the Chiefs today, the fewest by any NFL team in a game since the Browns ran 28 in their 0-43 defeat to the Steelers on 12 September 1999

After yesterday saw a full day's play at The Oval and none elsewhere, it appears the last time that occurred on the first day of a Championship round in England was on 22 June 1968 when Essex and Middlesex had a full day at Southend, but the other seven matches were washed out

Ravi Bopara played on the second day of official Twenty20 cricket, when he was out first ball - caught by Ali Brown (who retired in 2011) off the bowling of Adam Hollioake (who initially retired in 2004)

India losing 14 successive tosses is a 1 in 16,384 chance. But, had Karun Nair played alongside Kamboj, Jadeja and Bumrah, they would have four players with the same birthday, a 1 in 149,635 chance. Had Shreyas Iyer also played there would be five - a 1 in 39 million chance!

Australia with five bowlers currently in the world's top ten arguably the strongest showing since England had six bowlers in the top 12 in late 1958

The last time at least 11 England players were dismissed 'bowled' in a Test was at Cape Town in 1906

The undoubted highlight of the recent Women's ODI series between England and the West Indies was when both batter and bowler managed to fall over during the same delivery!

RIP 'Goofy' Lawrence, who took wickets with each of his last two Test deliveries in 1962, and remained on a theoretical hat-trick (I know it wouldn't have counted as one - but still!) for 63 years.

England yesterday picked as many wicket-keepers (Salt, Duckett, Smith, Buttler) as bowlers (Archer, Wood, Carse, Rashid). Another such occasion was when Chandimal, Sangakkara, Dilshan and Prasanna Jayawardene all faced England in the 2012 Galle Test.

Here's hoping the @BuffaloBills reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the year this photo was taken. So long ago that Marlboro could still advertise on stadium billboards!

Sam Darnold's 82 lost yards due to sacks set a playoff record, but on 26 Oct 1952 the Giants Charlie Conerly (44), Fred Benners (69) and Frank Gifford (14) lost 127 yards between them through sacks against the Eagles in a 10-14 defeat. The Giants punter that day was Tom Landry!
