STATS:

  • Amla's 311 is the highest individual score by a South African batsman.
  • The triple-century is also the first in England since Graham Gooch's 333 against India at Lord's in 1990.
  • The 377-run stand between Amla and Kallis is the highest partnership in South Africa-England Tests.
  • The South African innings featured two 200-plus stands. It is only the second time in Tests that a team has had two consecutive 200-plus partnerships for the second and third wickets.
  • The number of overs bowled by England (189) is the fifth-highest in a home Test since 1990.
