Australia will take solace from the emphatic manner in which they finished the series, ensuring they sent captain Michael Clarkeinto retirement on a winning note.

 

There have been only 18 days' play in the series, equalling the record for the fewest in a series of five Tests or more - when England beat West Indies in 2000  

This is only the fifth time that a team have won by an innings and lost by an innings in consecutive Tests in a series, and only the second time in the Ashes 

No batsman has been stumped in this series, the third consecutive Ashes without a stumping after 2013 and 2013-14. The most recent player to be stumped in an Ashes Test was Andrew Strauss at Brisbane in 2010

It is the first time since 1926 that no Australia bowler has taken 20 wickets in an Ashes series in England

Joe Root was named England's Man of the Series
