List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at the Riverside Ground

Bowlers have taken ten five-wicket hauls in Tests and two fifers in One Day International matches played at the Riverside Ground.

The Riverside Ground is a cricket ground in Chester-le-Street, County Durham. It is the home of Durham County Cricket Club and has hosted Test, One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. It has a capacity of 17,000 spectators for international matches, for which temporary stands are erected.^[1] The Riverside has hosted five Test matches, the first in 2003 when England played Zimbabwe.^[2] It has also staged sixteen ODI matches,^[3] the first of which was in 1999 when Pakistan defeated Scotland by 94 runs in the qualifying round of that year's Cricket World Cup.^[4] Three T20Is have been played at the ground.^[5]

In cricket, a five-wicket haul (also known as a "five-for" or "fifer")^[6][7] refers to a bowler taking five or more wickets in a single innings. This is regarded as a notable achievement.^[8] The first bowler to take a five-wicket haul in a Test match at the Riverside Ground was Richard Johnson in 2003 who, making his Test debut for England against Zimbabwe, finished with bowling figures of 6 wickets for 33 runs.^[9] These remained the best Test bowling figures at the Riverside until 2013 when Australia's Ryan Harris took 7 wickets for 117 runs in the fourth Test against England.^[9] Stuart Broad is the only bowler to have taken two five-wicket hauls in Test matches at the ground, doing so in the same Test match, also making him the only bowler to have taken ten wickets in an international match at the Riverside.^[9] Overall, as of August 2015, nine bowlers have taken ten Test match five-wicket hauls at the ground.^[10] Every Test match in which a five-wicket haul has been taken at the Riverside Ground has resulted in an England victory.^[10]

As of August 2015, two bowlers have taken five-wicket hauls during ODIs at the Riverside. New Zealand's medium pace bowler James Franklin took 5 wickets for 42 runs against England during their tour in 2004 and England's Graeme Swann achieved 5 for 28 against Australia in the final ODI of the 2009 NatWest Series.^[11] No five-wicket hauls have been taken in T20I cricket: as of August 2015, Jade Dernbach's 3 wickets for 23 runs in the second T20I against Australia in 2013 are the best figures in that format.^[12]
