In Australia's first innings of the third Test match of the Ashes series against England, wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey smashed 106 runs in 143 balls. His knock was laced with eight boundaries and a maximum

In Australia's second innings, the left-handed batsman is batting on an unbeaten 52 runs in 91 deliveries, including four boundaries

With this, he became just the fourth wicketkeeper-batsman and the third Australian wicketkeeper-batsman to register fifty-plus scores in both innings of an Ashes Test

Before him, England's Alan Knott (92 and 63 at The Oval in 1972), Ian Healy (74 and 51* at Adelaide in 1995), and Brad Haddin (94 in 53 at Brisbane in 2013) have achieved the feat

The 34-year-old cricketer is also the second-highest run-scorer in the ongoing Ashes series, with 247 runs in three innings at an average of 82.33, with a century and two fifties to his name
