Misbah-ul-Haq's seven hundreds as captain equalled Inzamam-ul-Haq's record for Pakistan  •  AFP

7 Hundreds by Misbah-ul-Haq while leading Pakistan - the joint-most by a Pakistan captain in Tests. Inzamam-ul-Haq also made seven Test hundreds as captain.
4 Test hundreds by Misbah after the age of 40 - he has now made the second most centuries after that age. Jack Hobbs made eight such hundreds. Four other batsmen - Warwick Armstrong, Geoff Boycott, Tom Graveney and Patsy Hendren - made three hundreds each after the age of 40. Misbah is also the first batsman to make a Test hundred after the age of 41 since Boycott in 1981. Overall, this was Misbah's ninth Test hundred.
418 James Anderson's wickets tally in Tests - he passed Harbhajan Singh in the all-time wicket-takers list when he dismissed Shan Masood. Anderson is now just four wickets short of overtaking Shaun Pollock in the eighth position on the list.
93 Runs added by the stand between Younis Khan and Misbah. Of the 19 50-plus stands between the two in Tests, this partnership was the tenth to come when Pakistan had lost their top-three for less than 100. In the last ten instances when Pakistan have lost three wickets for fewer than 100 runs, these two batsmen have put on seven fifty stands including three century partnerships.
2005 The last time a Pakistan captain made a century against England in Tests before Misbah. Inzamam made hundreds in both innings of the Faisalabad Test. Misbah's century was only the seventh by a Pakistan captain in Tests against England.
6 Fifty-plus scores in Tests by Misbah in Dubai, including this innings. This is the second venue at which Misbah has now scored 500 or more runs after Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, where he has 898 runs at an average of 99.77. Misbah now has 597 runs in Dubai at an average of 49.75.
84 Misbah's previous highest against England in seven Test innings, which came in Abu Dhabi in 2012. His unbeaten 102 in this Test is now his highest and the fourth fifty-plus score against them. He has made 336 runs against England at an average of 48.00.
106 Number of dots batted out by Misbah out of the 120 balls he faced from England's fast bowlers. Misbah managed to score just 26 runs off them at a strike rate of 21.67. In contrast, his strike rate against England's spinners was 105.55 and he hit five fours and five sixes off them.

Since then there have been seven fifties by Pakistan openers against England, including Masood's 54 in this match. Pakistan's openers have averaged only 22.74 against England since that hundred by Butt.
