Rohit hits the joint-fastest T20I century

35 - Number of balls taken by Rohit Sharma to score his century, which is the joint-fastest in T20Is. He equalled David Miller's record - he had done the same against Bangladesh in October. The previous fastest T20I century among India batsmen was 46 balls by KL Rahul, against West Indies in Lauderhill last year.

2 - Number of faster centuries in all T20 cricket, than the one by Rohit in this game. The fastest came off 30 balls by Chris Gayle in IPL 2013. The previous quickest T20 century among India players was in 37 balls by Yusuf Pathan in IPL 2010.

5 - Number of batsmen to score two centuries in T20 Internationals, including Rohit. Gayle, Evin Lewis, Brendon McCullum and Colin Munro are the others to achieve this. Overall, this is Rohit's fourth century in his T20 career, the joint-most among India players along with Virat Kohli. KL Rahul and Suresh Raina are the only India players to score centuries in T20Is previously, both with one each.

1- Number of bigger totals in T20Is than the 260 for 5 by India in this match. The highest is Australia's 263 for 3 against Sri Lanka in Pallekele last year. India's largest total before this was 244 for 4 against West Indies in a chase in Lauderhill last year.

0- Number of batsmen to reach their century quicker, in terms of team overs, in T20Is than Rohit got there in 2nd ball of 12th over. The previous quickest to get it were Richard Levi and Mohammad Shahzad in 13.2 overs.

12-0- India's record in the 13 bilateral series played this year across all three formats (series of 2 or more matches). They haven't lost any series this year.

10 - Sixes hit by Rohit in this innings - the most by an India batsman in a T20I innings. He eclipsed Yuvraj Singh, who had hit seven sixes against England in Durban in the 2007 World T20.

64 - Number of sixes by Rohit across all formats this year - the most by any batsman in a calendar year. He went past AB de Villiers' 63 sixes in 2015.

110* - The previous highest score by an India batsman in T20Is, by Rahul against West Indies last year. Rohit went past that with 118 off 43 balls, which is the joint-eighth-highest overall in T20Is.

91.52 - Percentage of runs scored in boundaries by Rohit - 108 out of 118. This is the highest for any T20I innings of 30 or more balls. The previous highest was 88.52% by Paul Stirling against Canada in 2012, when he hit 54 out of 61 runs in boundaries.

207 - Runs by the India openers in this match - Rohit 118 and Rahul 89 - the most for any team in a T20I innings. The previous highest was 182 by Loots Bosman (94) and Graeme Smith (88) against England in Centurion in 2009.

Record fifth-wicket stand for England against Australia

237 - Runs added by Jonny Bairstow and David Malan - the highest fifth-wicket stand for England against Australia in Tests. There was only one double-century stand for the fifth wicket in Ashes Tests previously and that was by Dennis Compton and Eddie Paynter in 1938 in Nottingham. This was also the joint third-highest fifth-wicket stand for England overall, and the first double-century stand for the fifth wicket since Paul Collingwood and Eoin Morgan added 219 in Nottingham against Pakistan.

37 - Innings since Jonny Bairstow scored his last Test century. He came close earlier this year when he was dismissed for 99 against South Africa. However, this is his first Test century in 2017 and also his first against Australia. In 2016 he scored three centuries and finished as the second-highest run-getter in Tests.

2 - Centurions in the England innings - first instance of this against Australia since the 2011 Sydney Test. Incidentally this is the third consecutive year in which Australia have conceded two centuries in a WACA Test. JP Duminy and Dean Elgar made 141 and 127 respectively in 2016, while Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor made 166 and 290 in 2015.

2006 - The last instance in which England scored more than 400 against Australia in the first innings of a Test match. This was in Adelaide in 2006 when they declared for 551 for 6. Incidentally they lost the game. Since then, they had averaged 253 in the first innings of the Test from five innings. However, in the successful 2010-11 campaign they had three such first-innings scores in the three matches they won.

1 - Instance of Australia winning from the previous six occasions after conceding 400 in the first innings of a Test in Perth. This was way back in 1977 against India, when they chased down 342.

35 - Runs for which England lost their last six wickets - the lowest in Australia for England in the first innings since 1998, when they added only 32 runs for these wickets in Adelaide.

3 - This is the third lowest all-out total in the Ashes for England in an innings that featured a double-hundred stand. The other two such instances were a while ago: in Nottingham in 1977 and in Adelaide in 1928-29.

World Cup stars set to light up third WBBL season

International players: Ellyse Perry (Australia), Alyssa Healy (Australia), Sarah Aley (Australia), Lauren Cheatle (Australia), Ashleigh Gardner (Australia), Marizanne Kapp (South Africa), Dane van Niekerk (South Africa), Sara McGlashan (New Zealand)

Tons of runs: that's how the Sixers get it done. And that is why they are the defending champions, after beating the Perth Scorchers in a tight final last season. They did that without Ellyse Perry, who was injured at the time, with Alyssa Healy stepping into the breach.

Much like their crosstown rivals, the Sixers boast an imposing team sheet filled with international mainstays. Healy finished third in the run charts last year, while Sarah Aley's stack of 28 wickets was by far the biggest in the tournament, winning her an international debut in both white-ball formats at the age of 33.

Lauren Cheatle is a fantastic acquisition from the Sydney Thunder, the teenage left-arm seamer being one of the most exciting talents from the local system. The same could be said for Ashleigh Gardner, who this year catapulted onto the international stage due to 414 runs in the 2016-17 edition.

South African duo Marizanne Kapp and Dane van Niekerk give Perry a world-class seamer and wristspinner, but both will miss the final for the second year running, given commitments to play for their country in late January. The Sixers should dominate more often than not.
