TOP SPIN AT THE TEST: A Bairstow ton that wasn't quite quick enough!

It was a glorious day for England's cricketers as Jonny Bairstow's magnificent century sealed a victory over New Zealand that will go down in the history books. 

But it wasn't just Bairstow's heroic century that will go down in the record books.

Sportsmail's Lawrence Booth runs the rule over a dramatic fifth day at Trent Bridge. 

Jonny Bairstow's hundred was the fastest for England for 120 years - second only to Gilbert Jessop, who took one ball fewer (76) to reach three figures against Australia at The Oval in 1902.

This was the highest-scoring of the 64 Tests held at Trent Bridge, with 1,675 runs. The previous mark was 1,496 back in 1938, when Australia replied to England's 658 for eight with 411 and, following on, 427 for six - though that match was played over four days.

The game also saw the most boundaries in a single Test - 250, made up of 226 fours and 24 sixes. According to Sky Sports statistician Benedict Bermange, it beat 242 (made up of 238 fours and four sixes) between Australia and India at Sydney in 2003-04.

Only three teams have lost a Test after scoring more than New Zealand's 553 in the first innings of the game: Bangladesh lost after making 595 for eight against New Zealand at Wellington in 2016-17, Australia after making 586 against England at Sydney in 1894-95, and Australia again after making 556 against India at Adelaide in 2003-04.
