England's biggest total without a century

England v West Indies, 2nd Investec Test, Headingley, 4th day August 28, 2017

1 - England's 490 for 8 declared is their highest total in Test cricket without any of their batsman making a century, bettering the 477 they had made against South Africa in 1994, also at Headingley, with Mike Atherton's 99 being the highest score. Overall, there have only been five bigger totals that did not include a hundred and the best among them is the 524 that India made against New Zealand in 1976.

1 - England also recorded the highest total in the second innings of a Test match without a ton. The previous record was held by Australia, who had made 476 against England in 1911-12

6- Fifty-plus scores by England's batsmen in the second innings. Only once have they managed more - seven against Australia in 1934.

2011 - The last time England made a bigger total in their second innings of a Test - they had amassed 544 against India at Trent Bridge. At Headingley, this is England's highest second-innings total and the third-highest for any team.

1948 - The last time a target of 322 or more was successfully chased at this venue - 404 by Australia. There's been only one other successful 300-plus chase here, by England against Australia in 2001 Ashes.

3- Instances of five of the six batsmen between Nos. 4 and 9 scoring 50-plus runs for a team. England joined the list with Joe Root (72 at No. 4), Dawid Malan (61 at No. 5), Ben Stokes (58 at No. 6) and Moeen Ali (84 at No. 8) contributing. Mark Stoneman also made 52, but he opened the batting.

10- Catches dropped by both the sides across the first three innings - seven by West Indies and three by England. The amount of runs scored by the batsmen after they were dropped adds to a whopping 351.

2 - Instances of Stokes scoring a century and a fifty in the same Test. He had hit 92 and 101 against New Zealand at Lord's in 2015 and 100 and 58 in this match. Since his debut, only Root (twice) and Alastair Cook (once) have done this for England.
