Statistical highlights of the fifth day’s play of the fourth Test between India and England.
# India’s win by an innings and 36 runs at Mumbai is their biggest over England in Tests at home.
# India’s other three wins by an innings are — innings & 22 runs at Chennai in 1992-93, innings & 15 runs at Mumbai in 1992-93 and innings & eight runs at Chennai in 1951-52.

# For the third time, a team has lost by an innings after making 400 or more in the first innings of a Test match. The first team to earn this dubious distinction was England, who lost by an innings & 39 runs to Australia at The Oval in 1930, Sri Lanka had lost by an innings & 14 runs to England at Cardiff in May 2011 and now England have lost by an innings & 36 runs to India at the Wankhede Stadium in December 2016.

# Previously India had won five consecutive series under three different captains — Anil Kumble, Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virender Sehwag between 2008 and 2010.

# After losing three successive series to England between 2011 and 2014, India have finally won the series against them.
