|
|
- India’s 416 is their second-highest, first innings total against England after being inserted. Their highest is 481 for 4 at Madras in 1981-82.
- The Indian first innings saw the fourth time that they had completed an innings against England with two (or more) centurions but no other player passing fifty. In these circumstances, their 416 is their third-highest total.
- Based on losing their first five wickets for fewer than 100 runs and in a completed innings, India’s recovery in adding 318 runs is their third best against all opposition. Their best is 370 runs (83-5 to 453 all out) against West Indies at Kolkata in 2013-14.
- Based on the same as above, it is also the best recovery in a Test at Edgbaston. The previous best was 214 (82-5 to 296 all out) by Pakistan against England in 2010.
- Rishabh Pant became the first Indian wicket-keeper to score three Test centuries against England. Budhi Kunderan had scored two in 1963-64.
- James Anderson became the first bowler to take 50 wickets at Edgbaston when he dismissed Mohammed Siraj in the first innings.
- Stuart Broad’s eighteenth over in the first innings cost 35 runs, the most conceded in one over in Test history. The previous highest was 28 (twice) by Brian Lara and Australia’s George Bailey.
- The 222-run partnership between Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja is a record for the sixth wicket for India against England. The previous highest was 204 between Pant and Lokesh Rahul at The Oval in 2018.
- The above stand is also the highest for the sixth wicket for any team at Edgbaston, the previous highest being 190 between Collie Smith and Frank Worrell for West Indies in 1957.
- Jonny Bairstow became the fourteenth England player to score 50 or more in five consecutive innings. Bairstow is, however, only the fourth player after Ted Dexter, Ken Barrington and Sir Alastair Cook to score 70 or more in those five innings.
- Bairstow heads the above list with most centuries within those five or more innings (4).
- Pant became the second Indian wicket-keeper after Farouk Engineer to score a hundred and a fifty in the same Test.
- The five centuries in the match equals the most at Edgbaston. In 1971, the same number was scored in the England and Pakistan Test.
- The 661 runs scored by India in the Test is a record for the most scored by a losing side at Edgbaston. Previously, Pakistan’s 601 in 2016 was the most.
- The 114 extras in the match is a record for an Edgbaston Test, surpassing the 105 between England and Australia in 2005.
- Bairstow became the first England player since Sir Andrew Strauss in 2008-09 (vs. India at Chennai) to score centuries in both innings of a Test. He is the eleventh England player to achieve the feat.
- The unbroken partnership of 269 between Bairstow and Root is the third highest for any wicket by a winning side in the fourth innings of a Test. The highest is 301 between Arthur Morris and Don Bradman against England at Headingley in 1948.
- England’s 378 for 3 is their highest, fourth innings successful chase in their Test history, overtaking their 362 for 9 against Australia at Headingley in 2019. In total, it is the ninth-highest winning total by all countries.
- The Test saw the record of most bowlers conceding 50 or more runs (14) in it. The only other occasion was between West Indies and Australia at Bridgetown in 1954-55.
- The England second innings saw the twelfth occasion of a successful fourth innings target being reached with two centurions. It is, however, the first time that both centurions have both been not out at the end of the match.
- It is also the first time that England have had two centurions in the fourth innings of a Test in a successful chase.
- Ollie Pope’s first Test duck was reached in his 48th innings. This is the eighth-highest number of innings, the record being held by Abraham de Villiers (78). The most by an England player is James Anderson (54).
- In terms of runs scored before making a duck, Pope’s 1309 places him 41st most successful. The list is again headed by de Villiers (2958). The most successful for England is Paul Collingwood (1819).
- Root’s 737 runs in the series is the 21st most by any player, and the fifth most by an England player. Wally Hammond’s 905 runs against Australia in 1928-29 heads the English list whilst Bradman’s 974 against England in 1930 heads the all-time list. Root’s aggregate is second-highest for England against India behind only Graham Gooch’s 732 in 1990 (in three Tests).
- Root moved into second place for runs scored against India (2526). Only Ricky Ponting (2555) lies ahead of him.
- England’s win is their fiftieth against India, in 131 Tests.
