For a while, the scientists reported, the core’s rotation matched Earth’s spin. Then it slowed even more, until the core was moving backward relative to the fluid layers around it.

Earth's rotation has been increasing making June 29 being the shortest day ever recorded since the introduction of the atomic clock. Scientists have some ideas why.
