As the first Test between England and India builds to a gripping climax, Benedict Bermange takes a look at some day five statistics...
India have been slow starters on their recent tours of England.
Since their victory at Lord's in the first Test in 1986, they lost the first Tests in 1990, 1996 and 2002, and only just scraped a draw in 2007 nine wickets down.
Matt Prior is just the second England wicket-keeper to score a century and a fifty in the same Test:

Andy Flower uniquely scored two centuries in a Test (142 and 199*) while keeping wicket against South Africa at Harare in 2001.
In three successive partnerships, Prior and Stuart Broad have recorded century stands - 119 against Pakistan at The Oval in 2010, 108 against Sri Lanka at Lord's in 2011 and 162 (unbroken) here.
This is the 12th time an England pair have recorded three successive century partnerships, with the record being four:

Rahul Dravid's 103no is the first occasion when he has batted at number 3 and remained undefeated with a century in an all-out innings.
On six occasions, Dravid has batted for longer than five hours in India's second innings to help draw or win a game in which they had been struggling:

The leading four wicket-takers are all pacemen (Ian Botham, Fred Trueman, Bob Willis and Brian Statham).
Since 2000, only one bowler has conceded boundaries at a greater frequency than James Anderson:
