Day 2 & 3 statistical highlights 

 

* Inzamam’s sedate 69’ was his eighth consecutive score of fifty or more runs in as many as innings against England – a sequence that dates back to third Test at Old Trafford in 2001. This equalled West Indian Clive Lloyd’s record of most consecutive fifties by a batsman against England. Inzamam’s brilliant run stretch also bettered George Headley’s 680 runs as the most by any batsman in eight successive innings against England. See Table 1.

* Muhammad Yousuf’s masterful 202 made him only the second man after Bradman to score back-to-back 200-plus scores against England. Bradman smashed 304 at Leeds and then 244 at The Oval in successive Tests on the famous 1934 Ashes series in England.

* For the second time in his 8 year Test career, Muhammad Yousuf carried his bat throughout the full day’s play for Pakistan. The previous instance for him was last year when he scored 99 runs in whole of the 3rd day against England at Lahore. However, His 165 runs on the third day at Lord’s are now fifth highest by any batsman against England without being dismissed in a full day’s play. It is also the highest accumulation of runs by a Pakistani batsman without losing his wicket in a full day’s play. See Tables 2 & 3.

* Yousuf became only the seventh double centurion at Lord’s. He is also the fifth Pakistani to reach 200-figure mark in an innings for the sixth time on English soil. See Tables 4 & 5.

* Geraint Jones dismissed five Pakistani batsmen behind the stumps. He became the first keeper for England to achieve this feat in a Test innings against Pakistan. See Table 6.
