Which England fast bowler set an improbable batting record and what was the record?

Q1. Does it relate to an innings that he began as nightwatchman? NO
Q2. Was the record related to speed of scoring? NO
Q3. Was the record related to one innings? YES
Q4. Would the fast bowler concerned be generally considered to be a tailender? YES
Q5. Is it a Test record? NO
Q6. Is it a world record? NO
Q7. Did he have the same partner throughout his achievement? NO (note that not all records are an achievement)
Q8. Brown bread? YES
Q9. Was it Harmison top scoring from number 11 NO
Q10. Is the record connected with failure to score? YES (sort of, though it's not a 2 hour duck or anything of that nature)
Q11. Is it the greatest number of consecutive innings without scoring - similar to the Seymour Clarke record? NO (see question 3)

HINT. It's a record that will only happen due to outside influences ie the weather.

Q12, Did he bat on three consecutive days? YES (wouldn't normally bother with spammers but it helps with the answer)
Q13. Given we haven't confirmed it, is it an ODI record? NO
Q14. Was it a County Championship match? YES

Is it anything to do with the speed of the innings, in terms of either length of time or number of balls faced?

Is it to do with the number of different balls bowled at a batsman (for example due to balls being lost, or a new ball being available after certain number of overs)?
