England's heroic rearguard, Pakistan's stellar record

178 The margin of victory, Pakistan's biggest victory in terms of runs in a Test against England.

137.3 Overs batted by England, the fourth-highest by any team in the fourth innings of a Test in Asia, and the highest in a defeat. England had also played 140 overs in a draw in Kandy in 2003. It's England's sixth-best in the fourth innings of any Test since 1980.

322 Balls faced by England's last four batsmen (Nos. 8-11) in their second innings. It's the highest by any team in the fourth innings of a Test match; the previous-highest was 298 balls, by New Zealand against Sri Lanka in 2009. It's England's second-highest in any innings against Pakistan, and the fourth-best for any team against Pakistan.

176 Balls faced by Adil Rashid and Mark Wood during their partnership, the highest by any ninth-wicket pair in the fourth innings of a Test match. Among all matches where balls-faced data is available, the next-best is 143 balls, by Mark Boucher and Fanie de Villiers, also against Pakistan, in Durban in 1998.

8 Wickets for Yasir Shah in this Test, the seventh time in 11 Tests he has taken seven or more wickets in the match. In his last five Tests he has taken 39 wickets at 19.87. In 2015 he has 42 wickets, next only to Stuart Broad's 46; while Broad has played 12 Tests this year, Yasir has played half that number.

10-3 Pakistan's win-loss record in the UAE in 20 Tests since the beginning of 2010. In all other countries during the same period their record is 11-15 in 30 Tests.

1-7 England's win-loss record in away Tests since the beginning of 2013; in home Tests during the same period they've won 12 and lost only five. In the UAE this is their fourth defeat in five Tests.

172 Balls faced by Rashid in his innings of 61, the second-best for an England No. 8 batsman in the fourth innings of a Test, after Matt Prior's 182-ball 110 not out against New Zealand in 2013. It's the fifth-best by any No. 8 batsman in the fourth innings - the record is 190, by Ajit Agarkar at Lord's in 2002.

7-2 Pakistan's win-loss record in Tests since October 2014. During this period they've registered series wins against Australia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and drawn a series against New Zealand.

62 Innings taken by Joe Root to get to 3000 Test runs. It's the fastest by an England batsman since 1970, and an innings faster than Kevin Pietersen, who got there in 63. Overall, 15 batsmen have reached 3000 Test runs in fewer than 62 innings, including six from England.

125 Test wins for Pakistan, which pushes them one ahead of India, who have 124. While India's 124 wins have come in 491 Tests, Pakistan have played only 394 to win 125. They are now fifth in terms of overall Test wins, after Australia, England, West Indies and South Africa.

63 Years, to the day, since Pakistan won their first Test match. On October 26, 1952, they beat India by an innings and 43 runs in Lucknow to register their first win in Test history.
