List of international cricket five-wicket hauls at Headingley

Headingley Cricket Ground is a sports ground in Headingley, Leeds, England, which has hosted international cricket matches, along with many domestic games. It is the home of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club.^[1] It has hosted international cricket matches since 1899, the first Test at the ground took place in between Australia and England in late June of that year.^[2] and has been home to more than 90 Test matches in total.^[3] Headingley has also staged 40 One Day International (ODI) matches,^[4] the first of which was in 1973 when the hosts England defeated West Indies by 1 wicket.^[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 Headingley was Hugh Trumble in 1899; he finished with bowling figures of five wickets for 60 runs (5/60) in England's first innings. The best figures in Test cricket at Headingley are the 8/43, taken by England's Bob Willis against Australia in July 1981.^[9]
