Prolific Smith, terrible Lyth

1 Number of times England have been eight down for less than 92 in their first innings of an Oval Test. (In England's first innings here, they were 92 for 8.) The only such instance was in the 1948 Test against Australia, when they were 45 for 8, and eventually fell for 52. That is also the only instance of England being bowled out for less than 100 in their first innings at The Oval. (Click here for England's lowest totals in their first innings at The Oval.)

32 England's highest opening partnership of the series so far. Their other stands have been 30, 19, 17, 12, 11, 7 and 0. Australia, on the other hand, have had six 50-plus opening stands in the series.

90.23 Steven Smith's batting average in the first innings of a Test match - ten of his 11 hundreds have come in the first innings. In the second innings he averages 35.30 (one century), in the third 38.06, and in the fourth 29.75.

508 Smith's aggregate in the series, which is the highest for Australia in an Ashes series in England since Matthew Elliott's 556 in ten innings in 1997. His tally equals Don Bradman's series aggregate in 1948.

105 Adam Lyth's aggregate in the series. Among openers who've batted at least eight times in an Ashes series - there are 148 entries that meet this criterion - only Graham Gooch, in 1981, has scored fewer runs. Gooch managed just 97 in eight innings in that series.

6 Number of times Peter Siddle has dismissed Ian Bell in Tests. Only three bowlers - Mitchell Johnson, Ryan Harris and Ishant Sharma - have dismissed him more often (seven times each). However, Bell has also scored 294 runs off Siddle, giving him an average of 49 against him.

11.42 Jos Buttler's series average. Only five England wicketkeepers have had a poorer average in an Ashes series (minimum seven innings). Four of those five were before 1930, but the last one was Steve Rhodes, who averaged nine from nine innings in 1994-95.

481 Australia's total, which is the highest first-innings score at The Oval for a team which lost the toss and was sent in to bat. The previous-highest was 476, by South Africa way back in 1935.
