Frenetic New Zealand, expensive Broad

53.53 BJ Watling's average in the third innings of a Test match, which is the highest among all New Zealand batsmen who have scored at least 500 runs in the third innings. In 16 innings, Watling has scored three hundreds; among New Zealand batsmen, only Martin Crowe has scored more.
4.92 New Zealand's run rate over the entire Test, which is the highest for any team which has played at least 150 overs in a match. The next-highest is 4.60, by Australia against South Africa in Adelaide in 2012.
454 New Zealand's score in their second innings, which is their second-best in the second innings of an overseas Test. Their best was also in England, 84 years ago, when they made 469 for 9 declared at Lord's. Four of their six best second-innings totals are in England.
6.12 Stuart Broad's economy rate of the entire Test. He followed his first-innings figures of 5 for 109 from 17.1 overs with second-innings stats of 2 for 94 from 16 overs, leaking 42 runs in three overs on the fourth morning. They are the third-most expensive match figures for an England bowler who's bowled at least 20 overs in a Test. The most expensive match figures are by his new-ball partner James Anderson, also against New Zealand, in Napier in 2008: in 24 overs, he returned figures of 1 for 153.
1-9 Win-loss record at Headingley when teams have been set a fourth-innings target of 300 or more, since 1950. The only successful chase was by England against Australia in 2001, when Mark Butcher's unbeaten 173 helped them chase down a target of 315 for the loss of just four wickets. By then, though, Australia had already wrapped up the series by winning the first three Tests. The only other successful chase of a 300-plus target was by Australia in 1948, when they made 404 for 3, with big hundreds for Arthur Morris and Don Bradman.
3 Number of times England have survived more than 100 overs in the fourth innings at Headingley. The most recent instance was last year against Sri Lanka, when they batted for 116.5 overs to score 249, only to lose the Test by 100 runs with two balls remaining. The most they've batted in the fourth innings here is 142.1 overs, against South Africa in 1955.
1-3 England's win-loss record in their last five Tests at Headingley: they've lost to Sri Lanka, Australia and South Africa, but beat New Zealand by 247 runs in 2013.
