Ashes Tests: 34 (England won 14, Australia won 6, with 14 draws - including the drawn Centenary Test of 1980)
First Ashes Test: 21-23 July 1884. Two years after the famous "obituary for English cricket" was published in the Sporting Times, England won by an innings and five runs.
Highest Ashes total: 729-6 declared by Australia in 1930, in reply to England's 425, setting the tourists on their way to a seven-wicket win.
Lowest Ashes total: 53 by England in 1888, when WG Grace was the only Englishman to reach double figures in both innings as the hosts were skittled for 53 and 62.

Classic Ashes Match - Second Test, 1972
The second Test at Lord's in June 1972 will always belong to a remarkable debutant - Australia's Bob Massie.
The 25-year-old right-arm swing bowler from Perth, Western Australia, was selected for his Test bow at the home of cricket after England had won the first Test at Old Trafford against an Aussie side who had not won a Test for over 30 months
Bob Massie finished with match figures of 16-137 - at the time, the third best in Test history after Jim Laker (19-90 for England against Australia in 1956) and Sydney Barnes (17-159 for England against South Africa in 1913)
