Not really, restricting them to 70 at the halfway stage is decent.

England to smash it for 65 overs then declare and take 5 or 6 wickets under lights.

Heh. Was thinking he looks straight out of 1980.
Except the length, like. Chatfield kept it pretty tight.

Who is Stead? He was the shadow of a great coach and had been his batting coach. He was an ordinary man, a lad about the dressing room, agreeable to the NZC in the balmy days of success, the sort of man who does not make too much trouble for David White. Who knows how to suppress his personality, what there is of it. A good, simple, harmless, ordinary man. And onto him crashes the brutal, remorseless weight of time, as the men who had made his ascension possible departed one by one.

They aren't going to go faster than in Rawalpindi. 13.4 overs and 175/0 at lunch

Oh I thought you meant total. Cricinfo has a list. - Trumper still leading it
Honestly the main thing keeping modern openers from adding to it is modern over rates

Also David White and the White Ferns coach and selectors.
The whole of NZC needs blowing up and rebuilding.

Stokes with a genuine chance to redeem himself here. If he lays out Kugz not only will he have done the first genuinely good thing in his miserable treacherous life, he'll also have given us the opportunity to bring in Duffy as a concussion sub.

... Trumper is 'still leading it' on the basis of being the first to do so back in 1902.
However,the poster asked who was the fastest in terms of deliveries faced in their century that they brought up before lunch and the number of deliveries they faced isn't listed for the earlier ones.
Considering there is only about half a dozen names on that list it wouldn't be hard to eventually whittle down and find out who.
