  • This was the first time a team declared their first innings on the opening day of a Test since Pakistan did so against England at Lord's in 1974.
  • The lowest first-innings total a team declared on and went on to win is 200 by Australia against England at the MCG in 1936-37.
  • Michael Clarke was dismissed in the 90s for the fifth time in his career. It was also the third time (second against India) that he fell on the score of 91.
  • Clarke also became only the second Australian captain, after Kim Hughes, and the sixth overall to be dismissed in the 90s against India.
  • The 145-run stand between Clarke and Matthew Wade was Australia's highest fifth-wicket stand in Tests in India and their sixth-highest fifth-wicket stand against India overall. Six of the century stands came after the fourth wicket had fallen for fewer than 100.
  • Wade's 62 was his fifth fifty-plus score in Tests. He has scored 592 runs so far at an average of 39.46 with two centuries and three fifties.
