World Test Championship Final Australia VS. India at thte Oval

The World Test Championship final is only the seventh Test played in England which did not feature England.
This is The Oval's first Test between two teams not including England. Lord's has hosted two such Tests with Southampton, Headingley, Trent Bridge and Old Trafford having one apiece before The Oval Test.
In these Tests, Travis Head's 163 is the second-highest score, just one run behind fellow Australian Warren Bardsley's 164 against South Africa at Lord's in the Triangular tournament of 1912. Head is the third Australian - with Steve Smith the fourth after his first-innings 121 - to score a Test hundred in England against an opponent other than England.
The partnership of 285 between Smith and Head is the highest for any wicket in England where England was not once of the participating teams.
Australia's 469 is the highest total in England (in matches not involving England) surpassing their 448 at Old Trafford in 1912 against South Africa.
Australia's total is the third-highest, completed innings at The Oval by any team where the top two scorers have made centuries and the third-highest has been under 50. The highest in such circumstances is Australia's 701 against England in 1934.
Steve Smith became only the second non-England player to score 500 runs at The Oval. Don Bradman (553, average 138.25) is the only other player.
Smith (1882 runs, average 60.71) also moved into fourth place ahead of Sir Garfield Sobers (1820, average 53.53) with most runs in England by a non-England player. Don Bradman, Allan Border and Viv Richards all lie ahead, with over 2000 runs each.
In all Tests at The Oval between all countries, Australia's 469 is the third-highest total after being inserted. Their 481 against England in 2015 is the highest.
Ajinkya Rahane became the thirteenth Indian player to register 5000 Test runs.
The Indian first innings saw their first occasion of their numbers 1 to 4 inclusive all reaching 10 but not 20.
This is only the eighth occasion in which this has happened by any team.
Alex Carey became the fifth Australian wicket-keeper to score 100 runs and effect six dismissals in the same Test.
Carey is only the second wicket-keeper to perform the feat above at The Oval. Alec Stewart did so for England against Australia in 1993.
Nathan Lyon reached 50 Test wickets in England in his 14th Test. He becomes the 23rd non-England bowler to do so.
The Indian second innings saw only the twelfth occasion in Tests where a side's top three scorers have reached 40 but not 50 in a completed innings. The last occasion at The Oval was in 1962 for Pakistan against England.
The match aggregate of 1269 runs is the joint fourth highest at The Oval where there were fifteen (or more) individual scores in single figures. The highest is 1392 in 2018 between England and India when there were eighteen single-figure scores.
