Australia were all out for 60 and England's Stuart Broad got eight wickets. Here are all the numbers and records on a crazy morning at Trent Bridge.

It was the first time in Ashes history that Extras has top-scored in an innings (14)

18.3 overs - the shortest completed first innings in Test history

17 years - since an England player last took eight wickets in an innings (Angus Fraser 8-53 v West Indies)

4 - number of times a Test team has bowled first and been batting by lunch on day one

1 - number of England bowlers who have returned better innings figures than Broad. Jim Laker did it twice in the same Test in 1956

19 - deliveries sent down by Broad for his five-wicket haul, joint fewest in history alongside Australia's Ernie Toshack in 1947
