As of January 2020[update], nine bowlers have taken ten Test match five-wicket hauls at the ground; every Test match in which a five-wicket haul has been taken at the Riverside Ground has resulted in an England victory.

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.
