9 Number of countries in which Alastair Cook has now made a Test hundred. Cook now has made a century in each of the countries in which he has played a Test. Besides Cook, Rahul Dravid is the only batsman to have made a Test hundred in each of the nine or more countries he has played in.

9 Number of 150-plus scores by Cook in Tests - only three other openers have made more such scores than him. Cook is just one score of 150-plus away from equalling Len Hutton who has made 150 or more runs the most times for England. Virender Sehwag leads this list with 14 150-plus innings and Sunil Gavaskar is second with 11.

8 Test centuries by Cook in Asia - equalling the most hundreds by an overseas batsman in Asia. Jacques Kallis also hit eight hundreds in Tests in Asia. Cook's aggregate of 1970 runs in Asia is second only to Kallis' 2058 runs. He went past Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ricky Ponting who made 1889 and 1850 runs respectively in Asia.

4 Number of scores of 150 or more Cook has now registered in Asia - this is the most by any overseas batsman. Five other batsmen - Allan Border, Clive Lloyd, Brian Lara, Stephen Fleming and AB de Villiers - have made three such scores.

1 Number of England batsman who had made 1000-plus Test runs in a year (matches beginning in a calendar year) four times in their career before Cook. Kevin Pietersen was the only England batsman to do it before Cook, who completed 1000 runs for this year during his unbeaten innings of 168. Cook is now the highest run-scorer in Tests this year.

77.75 Cook's average against spinners in Asia, which is the third highest for any batsman since his debut. Among batsmen to score at least 1000 runs against spinners in Asia since Cook's Test debut, only Younis Khan and Thilan Samaraweera have averaged higher. Cook plays an average of 173 deliveries per dismissal to spinners, which is second only Hashim Amla, who bats 179 balls for each of his dismissals against spinners.

0 Number of century opening stand for England in the UAE before the one between Cook and Moeen Ali. This was the first time their first wicket had added 50 or more from seven innings in the UAE. Their previous highest was the 48-run stand between Cook and Andrew Strauss in Dubai in 2012. This is also England's first fifty-plus opening stand in ten Test innings. England's opening pair had failed to put up a fifty stand in nine innings in the Ashes.

2012 The last time before this England's first two wickets had each put up a century stand in Tests. That instance, too, came in Asia - in Kolkata when Cook and Nick Compton added 165 for the first wicket and then Cook and Trott added 173 runs for the second. Overall, this was the 30th such instance for England.

6 Number of scoring shots by Ian Bell off 85 deliveries from Zulfiqar Babar in his innings. Bell managed to score just 10 runs off Babar. Bell scored only 25 runs off the 126 deliveries he faced from the Pakistan spinners.

31.65 Bell's strike rate in his innings of 63 - the slowest for an innings of 150 or more balls at the Sheik Zayed Stadium. Bell reached his fifty in 134 deliveries; he has made only six slower half-centuries in his 68 fifty-plus scores in Tests.

18 Number of innings since Bell's last Test century. He has scored four fifties since then but has been dismissed thrice before reaching the 70s. Bell has made 333 runs in these 18 innings at an average of 19.58.

702 The most deliveries bowled in a Test by spinners without taking a wicket, which was in a Test between West Indies and New Zealand in 1985. Spinners have already bowled 774 balls in this Test in three days and still haven't got a wicket. They have gone for 421 runs at an economy of 3.26. In the unlikely event of them going wicket-less in this Test, this will be the most deliveries bowled in a Test by spinners on both sides without taking a wicket.

1.76 Babar's economy from his 38 overs in England's innings - the second-lowest for a bowler to have bowled at least 25 overs in Abu Dhabi. Monty Panesar had conceded just 62 runs from his 38.2 overs at an economy of 1.61 in 2012, which tops this list.

263 Alastair Cook's score, the second-highest for England in a Test against Pakistan. The only score to exceed this is 278, by Denis Compton at Trent Bridge in 1954. It's also the second-highest in a Test in the UAE, after AB de Villiers's unbeaten 278 at the same ground in 2010. The four highest Test scores in the UAE have all been made in Abu Dhabi. Cook's knock is easily the highest by an England batsman in Asia - the previous-best was 207, by Mike Gatting in Chennai in 1985.

836 Minutes batted by Cook, the third-longest in Test history, after Hanif Mohammad (970 minutes for 337 v West Indies in Bridgetown, 1958) and Gary Kirsten (878 minutes for 275 v England in Durban, 1999)

2065 Runs scored by Cook in Asia, the most by a non-Asian batsman in the continent. He went past Jacques Kallis, who has scored 2058 runs in 44 innings (average 55.62). Cook has got his runs in 37 innings, at an average of 62.57.

3 Number of double-centuries for Cook in Tests. Only two England batsmen - Len Hutton (4) and Wally Hammond (7) have more. Kevin Pietersen is the only other England batsman with three double hundreds.

1014 Number of balls bowled by spinners in the Test before they finally took their first wicket of the match, when Shoaib Malik bowled Ben Stokes.

3 Number of century stands that Cook was involved in, in the England innings - 116 with Moeen Ali, 165 with Ian Bell and 141 with Joe Root. Had Stokes hung around for nine more runs - their partnership yielded 91 - this would have been the first instance of a batsman being involved in four century stands in an innings. There are only five previous instances of an England batsman being involved in three century partnerships in an innings; the last of those was by Kevin Pietersen, against Australia in Adelaide in 2010. Overall, this feat has been achieved 23 times, with West Indies' Kraigg Brathwaite the last player to do it, against Bangladesh in 2014.

37 Instances of two or more double-centuries in a Test; 19 of them have happened since 2000. In 2015 there have been three such instances; in previous years there had never been more than two.

70 Overs bowled by Zulfiqar Babar, the fourth highest for a Pakistan bowler in an innings. Only Fazal Mahmood (85.2), Haseeb Ahsan (84) and Saqlain Mushtaq (74) have bowled more overs in an innings for Pakistan.

68.25 The average runs per innings in this Test so far - it's easily the highest for a Test in the UAE. The previous highest was 51.56, when Pakistan played South Africa in Dubai in 2010. However, Abu Dhabi has hosted six of the seven Tests in the UAE with the highest runs per wicket.

30 Years since Pakistan have bowled more overs in an innings. They've already bowled 196.3 in this innings; against Sri Lanka in Faisalabad in 1985, they bowled 200.3 overs. Overall, this is ninth in the list of most overs bowled by Pakistan in an innings.
