342 Runs added by Michael Lumb and Riki Wessels for the first wicket, the third-highest partnership in List A cricket and the highest in List A matches in England. They fell 30 runs short of the record stand of 372 runs, between Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels against Zimbabwe in Canberra in the 2015 World Cup. The previous highest partnership for any wicket in England was 318 shared by Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid against Sri Lanka in Taunton in the 1999 World Cup.

870 Aggregate runs scored in this match, the second-highest in a List A match. With Northamptonshire falling 20 runs short of Nottinghamshire's total, the match aggregate fell just two runs short of the record 872 runs between Australia and South Africa at the Wanderers in 2005-06. This was only the fourth time that both teams scored 400 or more in a List A match.
35 Number of sixes hit in the match, the second-most in any List A game. Nottinghamshire's batsmen hit 18 sixes while Northamptonshire hit 17 in reply. The record is 38 sixes between India and Australia in Bangalore in 2013-14 where Rohit Sharma alone hit 16 sixes in his innings of 209 runs.
184 Lumb's score in this match - highest by a Nottinghamshire player in List A matches beating Paul Johnson's unbeaten 167 against Kent at Trent Bridge, back in 1993. The previous highest List A score at Trent Bridge was Graham Gooch's 171 for Essex against Notts in 1985.
3 Number of faster List A centuries while chasing than Rory Kleinveldt's in 45 balls. He made 128 off 63 balls with ten fours and nine sixes to get to his maiden List A century. The fastest century while chasing in List A matches is Yusuf Pathan's 40-ball effort for Baroda against Maharashtra at Motera in 2009-10.
330 Aggregate runs by Nottinghamshire's openers - Lumb (184) and Wessels (146) - which is the fifth-highest by any team's openers in a List A match. The highest aggregate also came in England when Alistair Brown scored 268 for Surrey against Glamorgan at The Oval in 2002, the highest individual score in the format. His partner Ian Ward made 97, which added up to 365 runs from the openers.
6 Number of bowlers who conceded 80 or more runs in this match, which is the most in any List A match. The next best is four bowlers with 80 or more runs, which had happened a few times. In the Wanderers ODI between South Africa and Australia, six bowlers conceded 75 and above.
1 Number of higher all-out totals in List A matches than Northamptonshire's 425 in this match. Glamorgan were all out for 429, after falling nine runs short of Surrey's 438, in 2002.
