Wagner to Compton, FOUR, pitched up a touch, wide of the stumps but not a half volley, it's on the up when Compton's blade
comes arcing down and crunches the ball through a gap in the covers
- back-to-back Test hundreds for Nick Compton !

Nick Compton has just scored centuries in successive Test innings.
Did his grandfather ever manage that ?
Nick Compton followed his maiden Test century - 117 in the second innings
in Dunedin
-
with a round 100 in the first innings of the second Test
in Wellington
.
He's got to go one better to equal his grandfather, though -

......( ketchim note that Nick is on 12 *at stumps day 2 ,3rd Test )
Denis Compton once scored three successive centuries, against South Africa during his :
record-breaking 1947 summer
.
He made 163 at Trent Bridge,
208 at Lord's
115 at Old Trafford.
Earlier in 1947, Compton had also made 147 and 103 not out against Australia
in Adelaide........
