Jos-Buttler-England-v-India-Investec-Test-2014

Ian Bell (167) made his third score in excess of 150 against India. He now shares the English record of most 150+ scores against India with Kevin Pietersen and Alastair Cook. (Also Read: Report: England vs India, 3rd Investec Test - Day 2)

Ian Bell, on 99, completed his 7,000 Test runs. He became 11th Englishman to do so.

Gary Ballance (156) made his highest Test score, beating 110 also against India at Lord’s.

Jos Buttler’s strike-rate of 102.40 (85 off 83 balls) is the second highest for a debutant in an innings of 80 or more. Only Shikhar Dhawan managed a higher strike-rate: 107.47 (187 off 174 balls) vs Australia at Mohali in 2012-13.

Buttler’s innings is the highest by a wicketkeeper on Test debut against India, beating West Indies’ Desmond Lewis’ 81* at Georgetown in 1970-71.

England’s 569 for seven declared provided the 45th instance of a side scoring 500 against India in first innings of a Test. Only once have India managed to win a Test out of 44 previous instances. They suffered defeat on 21 occasions.

Incidentally it was 80th time that a total of 500 (or more) was made against India. England have accounted for most such instances (19), followed by West Indies (17) and Australia (14).

Pankaj Singh conceded 146 runs in 36 overs without taking a wicket. He now holds the dubious distinction of an Indian debutant conceding most runs in an innings without taking a wicket. Bapu Nadkarni held the previous record with 132 runs against New Zealand at Delhi in 1955-56.

In all Test history only one bowler- Australia’s Bryce McGain- has conceded more runs in an innings on Test debut without taking a wicket. McGain conceded 149 against South Africa at Cape Town in 2008-09.

Ravindra Jadeja conceded 21 runs in one over to hold the dubious record of an Indian conceding most runs in one over against England. Pankaj Singh joined him later!

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. 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’

It was breathtaking knock by the opener that set-up the match for India. The hosts then bowled the visitors out for 251 to take a 4-0 lead in the series.  (Also Read:  Rohit Sharma 264 Runs - Stats: India vs Sri Lanka, 4th ODI ) Post by Indian Cricket Team Updates .

Misbah-ul-Haq:  "It was really good toss to win and the spell by Junaid Khan was very good. He has done it before in a Test match in Sri Lanka. Good to see that the bowlers pitched in the right areas in helping conditions. There was a change in the nature of the pitch. It was more difficult to play in the first half, very well played by Dhoni. But Nasir played an extremely good knock and showed the way by finishing the game. Humidity
