A Shrewsbury became the first Englad captain to score a Test hundred.

 

TW Garrett deputised for umpire Hodges when the latter refused to stand after tea on the third day because of England's complaints about his decisions. JC Allen stood for Phillips on the third and fourth days. McShane played in this Test after umpiring in the previous one.

 

Jarvis was the second Australian substitute fielder after Murdoch to hold a catch for England.
