Some surprising numbers as we head into the crunch match at Nottingham's Trent Bridge
Fourth Ashes Test: 10 stats that matter
0 – That’s how many centuries Australian batsmen have scored from three Tests at Trent Bridge this century. David Boon was the last Aussie to manage three figures in a Nottingham Test, back in 1993.
53 – James Anderson’s well-documented wickets haul in Nottingham, from just eight Tests, which equals some serious firepower sitting on the sideline.

7 – The number of times Michael Clarke has gone 10 Test innings (his current stretch) without making a century. That’s roughly once every 18 months since his October 2004 debut.
11.83 – David Warner’s first-innings batting average from six Ashes Tests in England, stretching back to the 2013 series. His 71 runs from six innings are made up of these scores: 5, 3, 6, 17, 38, 2.

56 – David Warner’s second-innings batting average from those same six Tests in England. That’s 336 runs in six innings, made up of these scores: 41, 71, 12, 52, 83, 77. Across the 12 innings, he’s yet to crack three figures. How Australia would love one of his rampaging hundreds in Nottingham.
21 – Ashes Tests played at Trent Bridge. Surprisingly, Australia hold the advantage at the venue, with seven wins, five losses and nine draws.

1 – Fifty posted by Alastair Cook in 14 Test innings at Trent Bridge, making it the only Test venue in the UK where he’s failed to register a hundred (excluding Southampton, where he’s batted only three times for scores of 55, 95, 70no).
24 – Innings that Mitchell Johnson has gone without taking a five-wicket haul, dating back to the first Test in South Africa, February 2014. It’s the longest he’s gone since the period between his Test debut and his maiden five-for, taken against New Zealand in November 2008.

40 – Stuart Broad’s batting average at Trent Bridge, his home ground. England’s bowling spearhead for this Test has made merry with the willow at this venue, racking up 360 runs in nine innings, with three fifties. He also needs just one wicket to join the 300 Test wickets club.
4 – fewer runs scored by Mitchell Marsh (45) in this series than Shane Watson (49), despite playing twice as many innings.
