  • India conceded 70 extras in the field on Monday, and are two short of beating the record for the most extras conceded in an innings. West Indies currently hold the mark; they conceded 71 extras against Pakistan in Georgetown, Guyana in 1988.

  • Dinesh Karthik had a torrid time behind the stumps for India. Karthik, who played as a specialist wicketkeeper for this Test in Mahendra Singh Dhoni's absence, gave away 31 byes, the most for an Indian wicketkeeper in an innings. Budhi Kunderan had conceded 29 byes against England in Kanpur in 1964.

  • Pakistan's chances of avoiding the follow-on were boosted by the unbroken 81-run stand between Kamran Akmal and Misbah-ul-Haq. Their 207-run partnership rescued Pakistan in the first innings in Kolkata, and they have so far added 379 runs in the series, the most by any pair.
