A group of intrepid cricketers shattered a world record by playing non-stop for SEVEN DAYS.

Players from Blunham Cricket Club, in Beds., battled through torrential rain that left the fields submerged in water to beat the previous record of 150 hours and 14 minutes on Saturday (31/8).

The team announced in a tweet it had completed 168 hours of continuous play and said it would be a "lasting memory for so many people".
