#1 Tom Latham and Devon Conway created a massive world record in first class cricket

Latham and Conway have become the first opening pair to register a century each in both innings of any first-class match. It is rare to see two openers of any team record a century each in the same innings, but Latham and Conway managed to do it in both the innings.

While there have been instances of the same pair of batters scoring two hundreds in two innings of the same match, not a single opening pair managed to accomplish this feat before New Zealand's Latham and Conway.
