A rare hundred at No. 4, and 313 runs without a fifty

0 Instances before this Test when all 11 batsmen made double-digit scores, but none went on to get a fifty in a Test innings: South Africa's innings is the first of this kind. The highest score was 46 by Dean Elgar, at No. 1, while the lowest was 12 by Morne Morkel, at No. 11. Overall, it was the 13th instance of all 11 batsmen scoring 10 or more in an innings for a team and South Africa's 313 is the lowest total among all those. The previous lowest was also by South Africa: 358 against Australia at the MCG in 1931-32.

1964 The last time an England No. 4 batsman scored a Test century in South Africa before Joe Root in this innings - Ken Barrington made 121, also in Johannesburg, in December 1964. This is Root's second away hundred; he has made seven in England.

3 Number of wicketkeepers to take six or more catches in a Test innings against South Africa. Australia's Wally Grout, in 1957-58, and England's Jack Russell, in 1995-96, were the first two to do it - both in Johannesburg. Also, Bairstow equalled the second highest catches in a Test innings overall; only four wicketkeepers have taken seven catches in an innings.

16.20 England openers' average in this series, currently the second lowest in a Test series for them against South Africa. Alastair Cook and Alex Hales have together made only 162 in ten innings with just one fifty-plus score. Their worst came more than 100 years ago in the 1905-06 series when the openers averaged just 14.10.

110.17 Stokes' strike rate in this series - the second highest by a batsman scoring 300 or more runs in any series (wherever balls-faced information is available). Shahid Afridi scored 330 runs at 121.32 against India in 2005-06.

1 Totals higher than South Africa's 313 when there has been no individual fifty-plus score in the innings - 315 by England verses West Indies in Port of Spain in 1985-86; David Gower' 47 topped the batsmen's scores but extras contributed 59, outscoring all batsmen. There are only two other 300-plus totals: 304 by England against South Africa in Cape Town in New Year Test of 2005 and 302 by South Africa against New Zealand in Wellington in 1963-64.

3 Number of South Africa bowlers to take a wicket off their first ball in Test career, including Hardus Viljoen who dismissed Cook with his first ball. The others are Bert Vogler, who too did it against England in Johannesburg, in 1905-06 and Dane Piedt, who made his debut against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2014. Overall, Viljoen is the 20th bowler to have achieved this feat. Viljoen also hit a four off the first ball of his Test career earlier in the day. Another player in the current South Africa team has hit a four off his first ball in Test career: Temba Bavuma did it against West Indies in Port Elizabeth in December 2014.

20 Number of England players to achieve the double of scoring 1000 runs and taking 50 wickets in Tests. Ben Stokes is the latest addition in the list after completing 50 wickets with the dismissal of Morne Morkel. He has achieved it in 22 Tests - the joint second-fastest for England after Ian Botham who got there in 21 Tests; Trevor Bailey and Tony Greig are the others to do it in 21 Tests. However, Stokes is the only player to have made 1000 runs and taken 50 wickets since his debut. The closest anyone else has got to achieving it is Moeen Ali, with 859 runs and 62 wickets in same number of Tests.

2 Number of century partnerships for the fifth wicket in away Tests for England in the last 50 innings since December 2010. The only previous instance, before the 111-run stand between Root and Stokes today, was the 130-run stand between Ian Bell and Stokes in North Sound last year.
