Stats - Australia's 22-year wait extends after a rare fourth-innings collapse

2001 England hasn't lost a Test series against Australia at home since 2001 when they lost the Ashes series by a margin of 1-4. They won four consecutive home Test series against the Australians between 2005 and 2015, while the previous series in 2019 also ended in a 2-2 draw.

2 Test series defeats for England at home since 2013. They won 14 out of the 22 Test series played at home in this period, while six other series ended in a draw, including the 2023 Ashes.

140 Partnership runs between David Warner and Usman Khawaja, the fifth-highest opening stand to end up in a fourth-innings defeat and the highest for Australia. The previous highest was 128 between Warner and Chris Rogers against South Africa in 2014 in Gqeberha while chasing 448. The 140-run stand is also Australia's highest for the first wicket in a defeat in the Ashes (in any innings).

264 Australia's total when they lost the wicket of Travis Head, the fourth of their chase. Only once has Australia made more runs for the first four wickets in an unsuccessful fourth-innings chase. Australia lost their fourth wicket at 305 against Pakistan in the 1979 Melbourne Test in pursuit of 382 but were bowled out for only 310, losing their last seven wickets for a mere five runs.

89.45 Australia's control % in the fourth innings till the ball change after 36.1 overs. Their control came down to 73.3 % in the 58.3 overs faced off the 'new' ball, against which they lost all ten wickets.

1224 Runs scored by England and Australia batters at The Oval, the most without a individual hundred in a Test match. The previous most batter runs in a Test match without a century was 1224 by South Africa and England in Durban in 1928.

106 Test wickets for Stuart Broad against Australia at home. These are the most wickets for a bowler against an opponent at home, surpassing James Anderson's 105 against India. Broad's 106 wickets are the second-most for any bowler against an opponent in a country, behind Shane Warne's 129 scalps against England in England.

2009 Test career wickets between the players in England's XI that played at The Oval, the highest combined tally for a playing XI (career wickets at end of the match). It was also the first instance where six players in the same XI came into a Test match with 100-plus career wickets - Anderson, Broad, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood. The combination won't repeat, with Broad and Moeen announcing their retirements.

0 Batters dismissed run out in this five-match series. It is only the second Ashes series where no batter was run out, following the five-match series in 1998-99. These two Ashes series are the only Test series of five-plus matches where no batter was dismissed run out.

19 Number of 200-plus totals by England and Australia in this series. This is the highest number of team innings in a Test series where the 200-run mark was crossed every time. The previous most was 12 innings during the Pakistan-India series in 1989, the South Africa-Australia series in 2014 and the Sri Lanka-England series in 2018. 19 200-plus totals in the series are also the joint-second most for a bilateral Test series. The highest is 21 totals during the six-match Ashes series in England in 1993.
