List of international cricket centuries by Ian Bell

Ian Bell is a cricketer who represents the England cricket team.[1] He has scored centuries (100 or more runs in a single innings) in Test and One Day International (ODI) matches on 22 and 4 occasions respectively.[2][3] As of November 2015, he has played 118 Tests and 161 ODIs for England, scoring 7,727 and 5,416 runs respectively.[1]

Bell made his Test debut in 2004 in the fourth Test against the West Indies at The Oval, scoring 70 in a ten-wicket England victory.[4] His first century came a year later against Bangladesh at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street.[5] His highest Test score is 235 against India at The Oval.[6] Bell has scored Test centuries at fifteen cricket grounds, including seven at venues outside England.[7][8] He has scored his twenty-two Test centuries against eight different opponents; he is most successful against Australia, Pakistan and India, with four against each. England have never lost a test match in which Bell has scored a century.[9] His dismissal for 199 against South Africa in July 2008 made him just the seventh batsman to lose his wicket on that score in Test cricket.[10] As of November 2015, Bell is joint twenty-eighth among all-time Test century makers,[2][A] and joint third in the equivalent list for England.[11]

Bell's ODI debut came in 2004 against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club, a match England won by five wickets. He scored 75 runs in the match, and received the man of the match award.[12] His first century came three years later at the Rose Bowl, Southampton, scoring an unbeaten 126 in a 104-run victory over India.[13] His highest ODI score is 141 against Australia at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart in 2015.[14] Following the conclusion of the 2015 Ashes series, Bell announced his retirement from ODI cricket.[15]

Bell has played eight Twenty20 International (T20I) matches, without scoring a century,[16] his highest score being 60 not out.[1] As of 2015, Bell is joint forty-sixth—with Garfield Sobers, Marcus Trescothick and David Boon—in the list of century-makers in international cricket, all formats of the game combined.[17]
