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. [3] This article details the five-wicket hauls taken on the ground in official international Test and One Day International (ODI) matches. [lower-alpha 2]

West Indian Learie Constantine took the first five-wicket haul on the ground, taking five wickets for 87 runs (5/87) against England in the first Test match played on the ground in 1930. The best innings bowling figures on the ground are Australian Ian Johnson's 7/44 taken in 1955 whilst Pakistan's bowler Imran Khan has the best bowling figures in a match, taking 11/21, including a five-wicket haul, in 1988.
