Does the record relate to a performance in a single match?

Yes, in fact a single innings.

 

[Somerset]

In the interest of keeping this alive, I'll offer a few hints.
- The feat involves a 'first', but debut is irrelevant.
- The player in question is a batsman but his feat has nothing to do with his batting.
- It involves an opposition player.

No

An Indian?

I'll give another (fairly big) hint that the player is South African and the other player involved is a NZer.

Yup its Ashwell Prince. He took his first test wicket in dismissing Stephen Fleming for 262, the highest score of an opponent for a bowler's first wicket in test cricket.

He was, but this 'incident' is a bit more specific than that.

 

[Jarquis]

To clarify, stumping is the.mode of dismiss but I want to know what was special about the stumping (not that it was the first in Tests but a different unique thing about a stumping) and who the most recent person this happened too is.

 

[Somerset]

Is Shaw dismissing Blackham, the wicket-keeper who stumped him, in the same test what you're looking for?

Or perhaps stumped off an opening bowler?
