Here are five things to know about South Africa’s latest cricketing star. Pieter Willem Adriaan Mulder was born on 19 February 1998 and after showing promise as a cricketer at a young age opted to attend St Stithian’s College in Joburg. It is the same school attended by Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Kwena Maphaka and Lhuan-dre Pretorius.

South Africa's stand-in captain Wiaan Mulder scored the fifth highest test score of 367 not out against Zimbabwe on Monday but then declared his side's innings despite being only 34 runs away from the record for the most runs in a test innings.

In 1994, it was 25-year-old Lara who etched his name in the record books by breaking Sir Garfield Sobers' long-standing record. Having already taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, West Indies went into the fifth Test against England brimming with confidence.
