112 Test matches played by Daniel Vettori for New Zealand, making him the
most capped New Zealand player, overtaking Stephen Fleming (111). Vettori has played 113 Tests in all, including a game
for ICC World XI against Australia in 2005.
1998 The year when three specialist spinners last played in the same Test for New Zealand. Vettori, Paul Wiseman and Mark Priest played
against Sri Lanka at the SSC in June 1998. Mark Craig, Ish Sodhi and Vettori are playing in this Test.
7 Number of Test hundreds for Mohammad Hafeez, all as an opener - the third-
most hundreds by a Pakistan opener, after Mudassar Nazar (9) and Saeed Anwar (11). Six of Hafeez's seven hundreds have come in Asia, the other being in Zimbabwe.
15 Years since a Pakistan opener made hundreds in back-to-back Test innings. Prior to his century in the first innings, Hafeez was 101 not-out in Abu Dhabi, in the first Test of this series. Wajahatullah Wasti was the last Pakistan opener to do this,
against Sri Lanka, in 1999. In all, eight Pakistan openers have achieved this feat - Hafeez, Wasti, Nazar, Hanif Mohammad, Aamer Sohail, Mohsin Khan, Shoaib Mohammad and Aamer Malik
28 Sixes conceded by Craig in 2014 - the most by any New Zealand bowler, and the third-most overall. The only bowlers to have conceded more sixes in a year are Nathan Lyon (30 in 2013) and Graeme Swann (34 in 2013).
