In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer") refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement. This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International matches.
The first five-wicket haul in international cricket on the ground was taken during the ground's first Test match in 1899, Australian Ernie Jones taking five wickets for 88 runs (5/88) in a drawn match against England. The best innings figures in a Test match on the ground are Stuart Broad's 8/15 taken against Australia in 2015. The only Women's Test match on the ground saw Julia Greenwood take a five-wicket haul for England Women against West Indies in 1979. This is the only five-wicket haul taken in Women's international cricket on the ground. In One Day International cricket the first five-wicket hauls were taken by Kapil Dev and Ken MacLeay during a match between India and Australia during the 1983 Cricket World Cup. MacLeay's six wickets for 39 runs remained the best ODI bowling figures on the ground until Paul Collingwood took 6/31 against Bangladesh in 2005.
A total of 92 five-wicket hauls have been taken in Test matches at Trent Bridge, including four in women's Test matches held on the ground.
