184* - Jamie Smith's score against India at Edgbaston is the highest by an England wicketkeeper in Test cricket, surpassing Alex Stewart's 173 against New Zealand in Auckland in 1997.
Smith's unbeaten 184 is also the highest score for England from No. 7 or lower and the highest against India from those positions.
He began his innings on the third morning and brought up his century before lunch, off just 80 balls - the joint-third-fastest hundred for England, and the fastest in Tests between England and India. The previous quickest was by Kapil Dev off 86 balls in Kanpur in 1982.
303 - The partnership between Harry Brook (158) and Smith at Edgbaston - England's second-highest for the sixth wicket . They are only the ninth pair with a 300-plus stand for the sixth wicket in Tests.
6 - Number of batters out for a duck in England's first innings at Edgbaston, the most for England in an innings. It's the second time India have dismissed six batters for ducks in Test cricket.

10 - Wickets taken by India's new-ball bowlers Akash Deep (4 for 88) and Mohammed Siraj (6 for 70) - only the fourth time an Indian new-ball pair has achieved this feat. All of the previous three instances involved Kapil Dev, and the last of those came when he took nine out of ten wickets against West Indies in Ahmedabad in 1983.
3 - Number of 300-plus partnerships involving Brook in Tests - the first England batter to achieve that. Joe Root was Brook's partner in his previous two triple-century partnerships.
40 - Innings that Yashasvi Jaiswal took to complete 2000 Test runs. He's the joint-fastest to reach the milestone for India, level with Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag.
