The attempt was in aid of the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation -- a charity set up to build the first proper cricket ground in the African country.

"At the final ball he just sort of collapsed into a heap and everyone piled in on top of him," a spokesman for the attempt was quoted as saying.

Shale faced around 200 bowlers in his spell at the crease -- including Prime Minister David Cameron, who turned up for a few overs.

Do note: The previous record was 25 hours held by Australian batsman Jade Child.
