Simon Wilde superbly recreates the story of one of cricket's most spectacular innings, played by one of its most exciting players in one of its greatest matches. Chasing Jessop is an engrossing cocktail – the tensions and fluctuations of a classic Test match, a vivid evocation of cricket, England and sports journalism in the early 20th century, and illuminating detective work into the astonishing statistics of English cricket's most enduring record
