Archie Jackson and Bill Ponsford added 172 against West Indies in Adelaide. The unbeaten 173 is also the second-highest fourth-innings opening stand for Australia in Tests behind the 208 added by Michael Slater and Mark Taylor against England at Sydney in 1994-95.

82 Highest individual score for Australia on debut in the fourth innings of a Test - Bancroft went past Norm O' Neil's 71 which was scored way back in 1958.

7 Man of the Match awards for Steven Smith in the last three years - the most for any cricketer in this period. Three players are in second position with five each. Smith also has four such awards as captain - joint most in this period,along with Virat Kohli.

15.13 Average runs added by England for the last six wickets at the Gabba since Australia's unbeaten run began in 1989 - the least for any team that has played in this venue during this period. England's lower middle order and tail have failed to contribute at this venue in their last seven Tests here. The highest the team has added in this period is 139 in the first innings of this Test.
