183 England's total at Trent Bridge, the second-lowest by them in the first innings of a home Test series since 1950. Their lowest in this period came when they began the five-match Test series against West Indies in 2000 with 179 all out at Edgbaston.
3 Instances of England getting bowled out for 183 or lower after electing to bat first at home since 2000. They posted 85 all out against Ireland at Lord's in 2019 and 102 all out against Australia at Headingley in 2009.
1 England registered their lowest first-innings total in a home Test against India. Their previous lowest total was 198 all out, which was also in Trent Bridge, in 2007.
7 All out totals under 200 for England against India in 2021. Only twice have they managed to cross the 200-run mark across nine innings against India this year. India has not dismissed any other opponent more often below 200 in a calendar year.
4 Instances of Indian pacers picking up ten wickets in a Test innings in England, including the latest effort. Three of those four occasions came at Trent Bridge, all since 2014.
45 Runs added by England after the fall of the fourth wicket on Wednesday. These are the second-fewest runs England have scored for their last six wickets in a home Test innings against India. Their lowest was 43 runs in the first innings of the Lord's Test in 2007.
4 Ducks in England's first innings, the joint-most for them in a Test innings against India. Four England batters also got dismissed without scoring a run in the Ahmedabad Test earlier this year.
