Free-flowing England post highest home Ashes total since 1985
5.49 England's run-rate in their total of 592, the third highest for any team in a 500-plus total in Test cricket. The top two entries on the list are also by England, who made 657 all out against Pakistan in last year's Rawalpindi Test at 6.5 runs per over, and 524 for 4 against Ireland at a rate of 6.33 earlier this summer at Lord's.
592 England's total in their first innings at Old Trafford. It is the first time England crossed the 500-run mark in an Ashes Test at home since the 1985 Edgbaston Test, where they made 595 for 5. England have made 500-plus totals on six occasions in the Ashes in Australia since 1985.
7 Batters to remain unbeaten on 99 in Test cricket, including Jonny Bairstow at Old Trafford. Bairstow is the also only the second batter to remain not out on 99 in the Ashes, after Steve Waugh in the 1994-95 Perth Test. Geoffrey Boycott also made 99 not out at Perth in 1979-80, but the Ashes were not at stake in that series.
93 Balls Zak Crawley needed to complete his century. It is the second-fastest by an opening batter in the Ashes, behind the 85-ball hundred by Australia's Joe Darling at the SCG in 1898. Crawley's hundred is also the fourth-fastest by an England batter in the Ashes.
1 Number of Test centuries at Old Trafford to have come in fewer balls than Crawley's 93-ball ton. Ian Botham has the fastest Test hundred at the venue, having brought up his three figures in only 86 balls against Australia in the 1981 Ashes.
6.94 Run rate of the 206-run partnership between Crawley and Root, which came from just 29.4 overs. It is the fastest double-century stand in Test cricket by run-rate (where balls faced by a partnership data is available).
The previous highest was 6.91, also by an England pair of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow in the 2016 Cape Town Test against South Africa, where they added 399 from 47.4 overs for the sixth wicket.
6 out of England's top seven batters scored 50-plus runs in their first innings. It is only the third such instance for England in Test cricket, with the previous two coming in 1893 at The Oval and in 1930 at Kingston. England's first innings in Manchester is only their seventh instance of six or more batters making a fifty-plus score in the same Test innings.
1 Chris Woakes is the first England batter dismissed for a duck in this Ashes series. There have been only five ducks across the four matches played in the series until England's first innings.
