- Bangladesh's match aggregate of 664 runs is their fifth-highest in a Test match. The highest remains 704, also against England, in Dhaka earlier this year. What's encouraging is that three of those top five have been achieved in 2010: they'd scored 690 against New Zealand in Hamilton in February. This was also one of the few occasions when Bangladesh played more than 200 overs in a match - they survived 1220 deliveries, which ranks ninth in all Tests for them.
