England have finally learnt how to twin with Jamie Overton making his Test debut at Headingley this week in place of James Anderson.
Overton has leapfrogged his twin brother Craig, who has played eight Tests already and is three minutes older, into the side after earning his first call up to the squad this week. And together they have become the first set of twin brothers to play Test cricket for England, following the example of the Waugh twins for Australia and the Marshall twins for New Zealand.
Jamie is the fastest bowler England will have had on show this summer, regularly operating above 90 mph, and he comes into the team on the back of a strong performance for Surrey against a Somerset side that included his brother. And he gets his chance thanks to an ankle injury to Anderson that he has not managed to shake off in the aftermath of the Trent Bridge victory.
