6 Consecutive Test wins for Australia against New Zealand in New Zealand. They have won ten of their last 11 Test matches in New Zealand since 2000. Only two teams have had a longer winning streak against the home team in Test cricket - England's first eight Tests in South Africa (1889-1899) and New Zealand's recent seven Tests in Zimbabwe (2000-2016*). Australia in South Africa (1936-1950) and England in Sri Lanka (since 2012) also won six consecutive Tests against the home side.

12 Australia have retained the Trans-Tasman Trophy for the 12th successive series since regaining it with a series win at home in 1993-94. The last instance of New Zealand holding the Trans-Tasman Trophy was in 1992-93 when they retained it following a drawn series at home.

2 Instances of New Zealand being bowled out under 200 in both innings of a Test match at home in the last 25 years. New Zealand were bowled out for 185 and 168 in the 2012 Hamilton Test against South Africa.

9 Number of countries where Nathan Lyon has bagged a five-wicket haul in Test cricket: Sri Lanka, West Indies, India, Australia, South Africa, Bangladesh, England, Pakistan and New Zealand. Muthiah Muralidaran and Shane Warne are the only other players with a five-for in Test cricket in nine host countries.

2006 The last instance of a spin bowler claiming 10-plus wickets in a Test match in New Zealand - Daniel Vettori and Muralidaran in Wellington. It was also the last instance of two spin bowlers bagging a five-plus wicket haul in a Test match in New Zealand before Lyon and Glenn Phillips.

119 Fourth-innings wickets for Lyon in Tests is the second-most for any bowler, behind Warne's 138.

6 for 65 Lyon's bowling figures in the fourth innings are the best for Australia in men's Tests on New Zealand soil. Dennis Lillee's 6 for 72 in the 1977 Auckland Test was the previous best for Australia in New Zealand. Overall, Lyon's figures of 6 for 65 are the fourth best for Australia in men's Tests against New Zealand.

10 for 108 Lyon's match figures in Wellington are the second-best for an Australian in a men's Test against New Zealand, behind only the 11 for 123 by Lillee in 1977.

13 Bowlers with at least one wicket in the Wellington Test, the joint-highest number of players to take a wicket in a Test match. There have been four men's Tests with 13 bowlers taking a wicket previously, all between 1960 and 1966.

2 Test matches lost by New Zealand at home since 2010 despite winning the toss, including the Wellington Test against Australia. Last year's day-night Test against England in Mount Maunganui was the other. New Zealand have won the toss in 24 home Tests in the past 14 years and won in 15 of them, while another seven ended in a draw.
