    New Zealand Test: Brett Randell has made world first-class cricket history by taking five wickets in five balls, among a career-best haul of 7-25 for Central Stags' during a Plunket Shield match against Northern Districts at McLean Park.

    Randell first bowled Henry Cooper on the last ball of his second over. In his next over, he dismissed former New Zealand Test opener Jeet Raval. He then claimed a hat-trick with Joe Carter caught behind. His fourth wicket camw when Robert O'Donnell edged Randell's outswinger to Curtis Heaphy in the slips.

    Randell then added a fifth wicket in five balls to his tally when Kristian Clarke flirted at a delivery well outside off, got a thin inside-edge with the ball bouncing back onto his stumps and disturbing his leg bail.
