During the July 1956 Ashes Test match at Old Trafford, England bowler Jim Laker took nine wickets for 37 runs in Australia's first innings and 10 wickets for 53 runs in the second innings. These two bowling figures were the best ever recorded during a men's Ashes Test match. Since Laker's legendary achievements in 1956, Stuart Broad's eight wickets for 15 runs in 2015 were the top bowling figures in an Ashes innings.
