    Andy Zaltzman
    Cricket statistician on Test Match Special

    Australia's numbers 3 to 6 all reached 40 yesterday, but all were out soon afterwards – Labuschagne made 51, Smith 41, Head 48 and Marsh 51.

    Thus, they added 31 runs above 40 between them, an average of 7.75 each.

    In all men's Test cricket in the last 25 years, there have been more than 9000 scores of 40 or more. To the nearest run, can you guess the average runs per dismissal added beyond 40 in those innings?

  12. Broad continues to improve and is not finished yetpublished at 08:14 British Summer Time 20 July 2023

    Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Stuart Broad reaching 600 Test wickets is an extraordinary achievement.

    You go back to the fresh-faced youngster who made his debut in a broiling hot Test in Colombo and didn't take his first wicket - Chaminda Vaas - until the 147th over as Sri Lanka scored millions of runs.

    Here we are 599 wickets on after he dismissed Australia's Travis Head on day one of the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford.

    There have been times in Stuart's career where you're not entirely sure what he's supposed to be bowling.

    Is he supposed to be bowling quick, all bouncers and aggression, or is he someone who pitches it up and tries to swing it?

    What he has done is manage to keep learning new skills and get better all the way through his career. Bowlers do improve but his rate of improvement has been really sharp.

  14. Rank Broad's best spellspublished at 08:07 British Summer Time 20 July 2023

    Stuart Broad is known for his devastating spells of bowling that turn matches in England's favour, including famously at his home ground Trent Bridge in 2015 when he took 8-15 to bowl out Australia for 60.

    He also took 5-5 in just 5.1 overs against India at the same ground in 2011, including his first Test match hat-trick as MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar fell in successive deliveries.

    We have picked out five of his most famous spells and want you to rank them in order.

  15. 600 up for Broadpublished at 08:07 British Summer Time 20 July 2023

    As Stephan mentioned in his report, it was a memorable day for Stuart Broad, who became just the second seam bowler to reach 600 Test wickets

    England team-mate James Anderson is the only other quick bowler to achieve the feat.

    Broad is fifth on the all-time list and Anderson third, with spinners Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble completing the top five.

    Nottinghamshire bowler Broad made his debut against Sri Lanka in Colombo 2007, going on to make 166 Test appearances to date and be part of four Ashes-winning sides.

  16. England chip away at Australia one day onepublished at 08:02 British Summer Time 20 July 2023

    Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport chief cricket writer at Old Trafford

    England chipped away at Australia's batting on a tense and fluctuating first day of the crucial fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford.

    At 2-1 down and needing to win to force a series decider at The Oval, England struck at regular intervals to leave the tourists 299-8 at the close.

    Stuart Broad took two, with the second - Travis Head hooking to long leg - making him only the fifth bowler in Test history to reach 600 wickets.

    Chris Woakes was the most consistently dangerous - his 4-52 included a magnificent catch from under-fire wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow to remove Mitchell Marsh.

    Though England won the toss, Australia, who only need to draw one of the final two Tests to retain the urn, were presented with ideal batting conditions.
