Record fifth-wicket stand for England against Australia

237 - Runs added by Jonny Bairstow and David Malan - the highest fifth-wicket stand for England against Australia in Tests. There was only one double-century stand for the fifth wicket in Ashes Tests previously and that was by Dennis Compton and Eddie Paynter in 1938 in Nottingham. This was also the joint third-highest fifth-wicket stand for England overall, and the first double-century stand for the fifth wicket since Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan added 219 in Nottingham against Pakistan.

37 - Innings since Jonny Bairstow scored his last Test century. He came close earlier this year when he was dismissed for 99 against South Africa. However, this is his first Test century in 2017 and also his first against Australia. In 2016 he scored three centuries and finished as the second-highest run-getter in Tests.

2 - Centurions in the England innings - first instance of this against Australia since the 2011 Sydney Test. Incidentally this is the third consecutive year in which Australia have conceded two centuries in a WACA Test. JP Duminy and Dean Elgar made 141 and 127 respectively in 2016, while Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor made 166 and 290 in 2015.

2006 - The last instance in which England scored more than 400 against Australia in the first innings of a Test match. This was in Adelaide in 2006 when they declared for 551 for 6. Incidentally they lost the game. Since then, they had averaged 253 in the first innings of the Test from five innings. However, in the successful 2010-11 campaign they had three such first-innings scores in the three matches they won.

1 - Instance of Australia winning from the previous six occasions after conceding 400 in the first innings of a Test in Perth. This was way back in 1977 against India, when they chased down 342.

35 - Runs for which England lost their last six wickets - the lowest in Australia for England in the first innings since 1998, when they added only 32 runs for these wickets in Adelaide.

3 - This is the third lowest all-out total in the Ashes for England in an innings that featured a double-hundred stand. The other two such instances were a while ago: in Nottingham in 1977 and in Adelaide in 1928-29.
