TMS saltyman had a great time reeling off all sorts of stats
for the third test at the oval. The 1 i remember was it lasted
909 legal balls, which in balls is apparently the least in
england tests. before it was windies 2000 at headingley
which was the last to finish inside 2 days, something the
umpires stopped from happening last nite, although
technically it was the 4th day.

I thought it was supposed to be the shortest since 1888 (or it might
have been 1912).

It was the shortest completed Test in England since 1912.

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;groupby=match;host=1;orderby=balls;orderbyad=reverse;result=1;result=2;template=results;type=team

There were 3 shorter England Tests overseas in between: Bridgetown
1934/35 (672 balls), Centurion 1999/2000 (883 balls) and Ahmedabad
2020/21 (842 balls).

To finish a match in 672 balls is impressive. Bad weather meant that it
lasted into the third day, but given the over rates of the time it's
only a day's actual cricket. OTOH the bad weather was the major factor
in the scores being so low, as the pitch was clearly badly
rain-affected. The match was made even shorter by a couple of
declarations with 6 or 7 wickets down, with the aim of forcing the
opposition to bat before the pitch could dry out and become easier.

West Indies 102 (Headley 44) and 51-6d, England 81-7d (Hammond 43) and
75-6 (Hammond 29*) in 16.3 overs (a bit of Bazball there?). In both
sides' second innings, tail-enders were sent in at the top of the
innings in the hope that conditions would ease.
