Gus Atkinson achieved a 15th Test hat-trick English cricket history on the second day of the second test against new zealand.
Here, the PA news agency looks back on previous occasions when the feat was successful.
BILLY BATES (b Australia1883)
Yorkshire man Bates claimed England’s first hat-trick en route to seven for 28 as Australia were beaten by an innings at the MCG.
JOHNNY BRIGGS (in Australia, 1892)
Almost a decade after Bates’ success, Briggs took three in a row in Sydney, but failed to prevent his team from losing the match.
GEORGE LOHMANN (in South Africa, 1896)
The Surrey seamer dominated the match with 15 wickets for 45 in both innings, including eight for seven in the second innings.
JACK HEARNE (in Australia, 1899)
The medium pacer removed the noted trio of Clem Hill, Syd Gregory and Monty Noble with back-to-back deliveries in the Headingley to achieve a first hat-trick on English soil, but Australia held the Ashes to a draw.
MAURICE ALLOM (in New Zealand, 1930)
Allom made his Test debut in Christchurch and scored a hat-trick in just his eighth over. The Surrey seamer had already struck with the second ball of the over before hitting the jackpot with his fourth, fifth and sixth.
TOM GODDARD (in South Africa, 1938)
Off-spinner Goddard took six hat-tricks in his career, the most notable coming in a drawn Boxing Test in Johannesburg.
PETER LOADER (in West Indies, 1957)
Surrey quickly secured England’s first post-war hat-trick at Headingley, dismissing John Goddard, Sonny Ramadhin and Roy Gilchrist in an innings victory.
DOMINIC CORK (vs West Indies, 1995)
Cork’s swing masterclass sent the Old Trafford crowd into raptures as Richie Richardson, Junior Murray and Carl Hooper all bowed out in a series-levelling win for the hosts.
DARREN GOUGH (in Australia, 1999)
Gough did his best to level the Ashes in Sydney, outscoring Ian Healy, Stuart MacGill and Colin Miller. MacGill had the last laugh, taking seven for 50 in the fourth innings to seal victory.
MATTHEW HOGGARD (vs West Indies, 2004)
In a tour best remembered for Steve Harmison’s seven for 12, his new partner also had a day in Barbados as he picked Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ryan Hinds.
RYAN SIDEBOTTOM (vs New Zealand, 2008)
The left-armer took 24 wickets in England’s last series win in New Zealand, including successive wickets of Stephen Fleming, Matthew Sinclair and Jacob Oram in Hamilton.
STUART BROAD (vs India, 2011)
Broad had MS Dhoni caught at second slip, Harbhajan Singh was lbw despite an inside edge and he was bowled by Praveen Kumar at Trent Bridge in a series that England crowned number one in the world.
STUART BROAD (in Sri Lanka, 2014)
The only English bowler to take two Test hat-tricks, but Broad didn’t know that until the Headingley speaker’s announcement. He registered Kumar Sangakkara off the last ball of one before taking out Dinesh Chandimal and Shaminda Eranga at the start of his next over.
MOEEN ALI (in South Africa, 2017)
The all-rounder scored his 100th Test at the Oval with his first match-ending hat-trick at the stadium. He collected the scalps of Dean Elgar, Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel, the latter lbw on review.
