The tall left-armer Reece Topley followed his impressive 6 for 24 at Lord's England's best figures ever in ODIs with an equally awesome 3 for 35 at Old Trafford. Topley was only the third Englishman to gather nine wickets in two consecutive ODIs, following Steve Harmison, who took 4 for 39 against Bangladesh at The Oval and a majestic 5 for 33 vs Australia at Bristol in May 2005. Chris Woakes has also achieve this feat when he snared 4 for 67 at Bristol and 5 for 54 at Headingley against Pakistan in June 2019.
