What is a century or a five-wicket haul in cricket?

A scorecard guide to centuries, fifties and five-wicket bowling milestones.

A century is an innings of at least 100 runs. A fifty is an innings of at least 50 runs but below 100. A five-wicket haul is an innings with at least five wickets; ten-wicket match hauls are separately labelled when the scorecards support them.
