Alastair Cook: the tallest non-Asian in Asia

263 Alastair Cook's score, the second-highest for England in a Test against Pakistan. The only score to exceed this is 278, by Denis Compton at Trent Bridge in 1954. It's also the second-highest in a Test in the UAE, after AB de Villiers's unbeaten 278 at the same ground in 2010. The four highest Test scores in the UAE have all been made in Abu Dhabi. Cook's knock is easily the highest by an England batsman in Asia - the previous-best was 207, by Mike Gatting in Chennai in 1985.

836 Minutes batted by Cook, the third-longest in Test history, after Hanif Mohammad (970 minutes for 337 v West Indies in Bridgetown, 1958) and Gary Kirsten (878 minutes for 275 v England in Durban, 1999)

2065 Runs scored by Cook in Asia, the most by a non-Asian batsman in the continent. He went past Jacques Kallis, who has scored 2058 runs in 44 innings (average 55.62). Cook has got his runs in 37 innings, at an average of 62.57.

3 Number of double-centuries for Cook in Tests. Only two England batsmen - Len Hutton (4) and Wally Hammond (7) have more. Kevin Pietersen is the only other England batsman with three double hundreds.

1014 Number of balls bowled by spinners in the Test before they finally took their first wicket of the match, when Shoaib Malik bowled Ben Stokes. Add another six if you count an experimental over of offspin along the way from Stokes. Since 2002, this is easily the most balls bowled by spinners before their first wicket in a Test; the previous-highest during this period was 547, in the Australia-India Sydney Test in 2012.

3 Number of century stands that Cook was involved in, in the England innings - 116 with Moeen Ali, 165 with Ian Bell and 141 with Joe Root. Had Stokes hung around for nine more runs - their partnership yielded 91 - this would have been the second instance of a batsman being involved in four century stands in an innings, after Hanif Mohammad during his 337 against West Indies in Barbados in 1958. There are only five previous instances of an England batsman being involved in three century partnerships in an innings; the last of those was by Kevin Pietersen, against Australia in Adelaide in 2010. Overall, this feat has been achieved 23 times, with West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite the last player to do it, against Bangladesh in 2014.

37 Instances of two or more double-centuries in a Test; 19 of them have happened since 2000. In 2015 there have been three such instances; in previous years there had never been more than two.

70 Overs bowled by Zulfiqar Babar, the fourth highest for a Pakistan bowler in an innings. Only Fazal Mahmood (85.2), Haseeb Ahsan (84) and Saqlain Mushtaq (74) have bowled more overs in an innings for Pakistan.

68.25 The average runs per wicket in this Test so far - it's easily the highest for a Test in the UAE. The previous highest was 51.56, when Pakistan played South Africa in Dubai in 2010. However, Abu Dhabi has hosted six of the seven Tests in the UAE with the highest runs per wicket.

30 Years since Pakistan have bowled more overs in an innings. They've already bowled 196.3 in this innings; against Sri Lanka in Faisalabad in 1985, they bowled 200.3 overs. Overall, this is ninth in the list of most overs bowled by Pakistan in an innings.
