Finch and Marsh fly high, most expensive hat-trick

3 Number of Australia batsmen before Aaron Finch to hit a century on World Cup debut. Trevor Chappell, Geoff Marsh and Andrew Symonds are the others to achieve this. Overall, Finch is the 14th batsman to do this, the last one being Virat Kohli, who made 100 not out against Bangladesh in the first match of the last World Cup.

1 Number of Australia batsmen who had scored a century in the World Cup at home before Finch. David Boon got exactly 100 against West Indies in 1992, which was also at the MCG.

86 Australia's previous-highest individual score against England in the World Cup, by Ricky Ponting in the 2007 edition. Finch now has three hundreds against England in just 12 innings. This is the second highest number of hundreds by an Australia batsman against England, the highest being Ponting's five, from 38 innings.

7 Number of bowlers who have taken five-fors in their first World Cup game including Mitchell Marsh. Marsh's 5 for 33 is the fourth-best haul by a bowler playing his first World Cup match. In addition to Marsh, three other Australia bowlers - Gary Gilmour, Dennis Lillee and Damien Fleming - have achieved this. Winston Davis' 7 for 51 against Australia in 1983 leads this list.

111 Runs England lost this match by - their second-worst defeat in terms of runs in the World Cup. Their 122-run loss to South Africa in 1999 is their worst.

165 Glenn Maxwell's strike rate in his innings of 66 runs in this match - the second-highest strike rate by an Australia batsman batting at No. 6 or lower in the World Cup. Shane Watson's 32-ball 65 against New Zealand in 2007 leads this list.

2 Number of England batsmen who have scored higher than James Taylor in their first World Cup game: Dennis Amiss got 137 at Lord's in 1975, Allan Lamb hit 102 in 1983. Taylor's score is the highest by an England No. 6 against Australia, beating Kevin Pietersen's unbeaten 91 in Bristol in 2005. There have been only five higher scores by a No. 6 batsman against Australia in ODIs.

1 Number of times a batsman in the World Cup had been left stranded in the nineties while his team got all out leaving balls to spare, before this match. Taylor became the second such batsman and, incidentally, the second from England. David Gower had got to a 96-ball 92 when England had got all out against New Zealand in 1983, leaving more than four overs un-utilised.

54 Number of innings taken by George Bailey to complete 2000 ODI runs; he is the joint third-fastest Australia batsman to the landmark behind David Boon and Matthew Hayden. Boon took 52 innings and Hayden 53. Greg Chappell took as many innings as Bailey has taken, but played two matches fewer.

342 Runs England conceded in this match - the highest they have conceded in a World Cup game, four runs more than the 338 they conceded against India in the tied game in 2011. Overall, this was the fifth-highest total against them in ODIs. This total was also only two runs short of the highest at the MCG.

7 Hat-tricks in the World Cup before the one Steven Finn took in this match. There have been 36 hat-tricks in ODIs including Finn's. His achievement, however, was tempered by the fact that he conceded 71 runs, which is the most conceded by a bowler in an innings with a hat-trick. Charl Langeveldt conceded 62 runs against West Indies in 2005, which was the previous highest. Click here for a list of hat-tricks in ODIs.

146 Partnership runs added by Finch and Bailey - the second highest for Australia for the fourth wicket in the World Cup. Michael Clarke and Brad Hodge added 204 runs against Netherlands in 2007, which is the highest.

9 Number of instances when an innings has had four or more partnerships of 50-plus runs in the World Cup. Two of them happened today: Australia and New Zealand both had one century partnership and three fifty partnerships in their innings.

6 Hundreds England have now conceded to openers in the World Cup, three of which have come in their last two games. Both Sri Lanka openers, Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan, had got hundreds in the 2011 quarter-final against them.
