Malik's best, Shafiq equals Sobers

8 Double-hundreds by Pakistan's No. 3 in Tests before Shoaib Malik's 245 in this match. The last Pakistan No. 3 to make a double-hundred was Azhar Ali, who made 226 against Bangladesh in Dhaka earlier this year. Malik's score is the fourth-highest by a Pakistan No.3 in Tests. Younis Khan's 313 against Sri Lanka in Karachi in 2009 is the highest.

1987 The last time a Pakistan batsman made a higher score in Tests against England than Malik's 245 in this innings. Javed Miandad had made 260 in the first innings of the Oval Test. The only other Pakistan batsman to score higher than Malik in Tests against England is Zaheer Abbas, who made 274 at Edgbaston in 1971.

200 Malik's highest first-class score before his 245 in this Test. He had made 200 against Faisalabad in the 2010-11 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy playing for PIA. He now has 1851 runs in Tests at an average of 37.77, which has jumped up from his average of 33.45 before this Test.

163 Runs conceded by Adil Rashid in Pakistan's first innings. Rashid bowled 34 overs without taking a wicket. These are the worst bowling figures in an innings on Test debut by any bowler. The previous-worst was by Australia's Bryce McGain who conceded 149 runs in the first innings of the Cape Town Test in 2009. From England, Devon Malcolm is the only bowler to have conceded more runs than Rashid in an innings on Test debut. Malcolm had conceded 166 runs on his debut against Australia in the 1989 Ashes Test at Trent Bridge.

8 Hundreds by Asad Shafiq in Tests, all of which have come batting at No. 6 for Pakistan. This now equals the most centuries made by any batsman batting at No. 6 in Tests. Garry Sobers too, had made eight of 26 Test hundreds batting at No. 6. Shafiq has scored 2247 runs at No.6 - the most from that position by any Pakistan batsman - at an average of 46.81.

1986 The last time a Pakistan No. 6 made a century against England in Tests. Imran Khan had made 118 in the first innings of the Oval Test. Including Shafiq's hundred in this match, there have been only six Test hundreds by Pakistan's No. 6 against England.

297 runs conceded by England spinners in the first innings - the most conceded spinners in an innings without taking a wicket. The previous highest was the 273 runs that South Africa's spinners conceded against Sri Lanka at the SSC in 2006. England's spinners had economy of 4.30 from the 69 overs they bowled in Pakistan's first innings.

248 Runs scored by the stand between Malik and Shafiq - Pakistan's fourth-highest for their fifth wicket in Tests. The highest such stand came in 1976 against New Zealand when Asif Iqbal and Javed Miandad added 281 in the first innings in Lahore. Including the one in this match, there have been only seven double-hundred stands for Pakistan's fifth wicket in Tests. This was also Pakistan's sixth-highest partnership for any wicket against England in Tests.

236 The previous highest partnership for any wicket in Tests at the Sheik Zayed Stadium, which was between Azhar Ali and Younis Khan against Australia last year. Pakistan's fifth-wicket partnership is now the highest and only the fourth double-hundred stand for any wicket at this venue. The stand between Malik and Shafiq is also the third-highest for any wicket in Tests in the UAE.

236 The previous highest by a Pakistan batsman in the UAE, which was by Taufeeq Umar against Sri Lanka in 2011 in Abu Dhabi. Malik's 245 is now the highest score and the second highest by any batsman in Tests in the UAE. AB de Villiers' 278* against Pakistan at the same venue in 2010 is the highest.

3 Consecutive 500-plus totals posted by Pakistan while batting first in Abu Dhabi, including their 523 for 8 in this match. They had declared on 566 for 3 against New Zealand last year and had made 570 for 6 against Australia before that. Overall, this is Pakistan's fourth 500-plus total in the first innings in eight Tests at this venue.

4/57 Ben Stokes' bowling figures in Pakistan's first innings - the second-best by a fast bowler against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi and only the third four-wicket haul at this venue. Stuart Broad's 4 for 47 in England's previous Test here is the best.

26 Number of hundreds by Pakistan batsmen in Tests in the last 12 months - easily the most by any team in this period. Australia and India are a distant second with 14 hundreds.

16 Number of centuries by Pakistan batsmen at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in just eight Tests. These are the most hundreds scored by batsmen from a team in eight or fewer Tests at a venue. The next highest are India's 12 centuries from eight Tests at the SSC, Colombo.
