Bailey equals Lara record for most runs in one over

Perth (Australia), Dec 16: Australian batsman George Bailey equalled Brian Lara's Test record for most runs off an over against England in Perth on Monday.

Bailey matched the feat when he took the same tally off paceman James Anderson in the final over of Australia's second innings on the fourth day of the third Test.

Bailey's 4,6,2,4,6,6 matched West Indies great Brian Lara's record of most runs off one over in Test cricket, which he achieved by hitting South African Robin Peterson for 4,6,6,4,4,4 in the Johannesburg Test in the 2003-04 season.

The Tasmanian, in only his third Test, hit three sixes and two fours in the over.

Australian captain Michael Clarke declared on 369 for 6.
