Man-of-the-Match: Cheteshwar Pujara for his unbeaten knocks of 206 and 41


# Alastair Cook (176 off 374 balls) has posted his fourth highest score in Test cricket.

# Cook's marvellous knock is the highest individual innings by an England player after following on, surpassing Ken Barrington's 172 in the 1961-62 Kanpur Test against India. His innings is the second highest by a captain after following on behind Salim Malik's 237 for Pakistan against Australia at Rawalpindi in 1994-95.

# Cook was at the crease for 556 minutes for his 176 - the second longest in terms of minutes by an England player in India, next only to the 563 by Graeme Fowler for scoring 201 in the 1984-85 Chennai Test. Cook's knock is the sixth longest in terms of minutes by a visiting player on Indian soil.

# Apart from Cook, no other visiting player has batted for such a long period in the second innings of a Test. Andy Flower had batted for 544 minutes for his marvellous 232 not out in the 2000-01 Nagpur Test.

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
