Statistical highlights, Day 2

Rajneesh Gupta | March 18, 2005 20:17 IST

� India's total of 407 is their highest at this venue against Pakistan, bettering the 403, made in 1986-87.

� The last wicket stand of 44 runs between Harbhajan Singh [Images] and Anil Kumble [Images] is India's best against Pakistan at this ground. The previous best tenth wicket partnership was of 40 runs between Deepak Shodhan and Ghulam [Images] Ahmed in 1952-53.

- Predict the MOM and win prizes!

� Pakistan's both opening bowlers -- Mohammad Sami [Images] and Mohammad Khalil went wicketless. This provided only the second such instance in a completed innings for Pakistan against India. The only other instance had come at Bangalore in 1986-87 when Imran Khan [Images] and Wasim Akram could not take a wicket.

� Younis Khan (108*) made his seventh century in 34 Tests and his first against India in two Tests.

� Yousuf Youhana (101*) made his 13th century in 58 Tests and his second against India in eight Tests.

� The unbeaten partnership of 203 between Younis Khan and Yousuf Youhana was Pakistan's best for the third wicket on Indian soil obliterating the 155-run partnership between Shoaib Mohammad and Javed Miandad at Chennai in 1986-87.

� The above partnership is Pakistan's best at Eden Gardens for any wicket, obliterating the 114 for the fourth wicket between Saeed Anwar and Yousuf Youhana in 1998-99. Incidentally Pakistan's previous best for the third wicket at this venue was 82 between Hanif Mohammad and Javed Burki in 1960-61.

� Younis Khan and Yousuf Youhana provided the eighth instance of two opposition batsmen scoring a century in the same innings at Kolkata. West Indies [Images] have done so four times, followed by South Africa (twice) and New Zealand [Images] and Pakistan (once each). Interestingly India have never registered a win in any of these Tests. The complete list:
