Test match five-wicket hauls -- Women 's matches
The Oval, currently referred to for sponsorship purposes as the Kia Oval, is an international cricket ground in Kennington, in the London Borough of Lambeth, in south London. The Oval has been the home ground of Surrey County Cricket Club since it was opened in 1845. It was the first ground in England to host international Test cricket in September 1880. The final Test match of the English season is traditionally played there. As of March 2019, the Oval has hosted 101 Test matches, the first of which was played between England and Australia. It has also hosted 67 One Day Internationals, the first of which was played in 1973, again between England and the West Indies as well as 16 Twenty20 Internationals, the first of which was played between England and the West Indies in 2007. In women's cricket, the Oval has hosted 6 Women's Test matches - the first of which was played between England and Australia in 1937 - and 1 Women's Twenty20 International, played between England and Australia in 2009. 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, which is regarded as a notable achievement. The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at the Oval was Fred Morley in 1880 who finished with bowling figures of 5 wickets for 56 runs. Overall, as of September 2019, 108 bowlers have taken 144 Test match five-wicket hauls at the ground. As of March 2019, 8 bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls during ODIs at the Oval, the first of which was when England's Mike Hendrick took 5 wickets for 31 runs against Australia in 1980. Only one five-wicket haul has been taken in T20I cricket: Pakistan's Umar Gul's 5 wickets for 6 runs in 2009.
