England wicketkeeper Bob Taylor scored his maiden first-class century when he reached 100 for Derbyshire against Yorkshire at Sheffield on 19 June 1981.
He had accumulated 10,324 runs before he went out to bat, and on 19 overtook Tony Lock (10,342) as the cricketer with most first-class runs but no century.
On completing his hundred, he handed the record back to Lock, who still holds it.

In the current Test between New Zealand and West Indies at Mount Maunganui, Tom Latham (137 & 101) and Devon Conway (227 & 100) have become the first opening batters who both scored centuries in both innings of any first-class match.

The closest previous instance also took place in New Zealand: Bert Sutcliffe (141 & 135) and Don Taylor (99 & 143) for Auckland v Canterbury at Auckland in January 1949.
