56 Number of balls in which Misbah-ul-Haq got his century - the fastest, in terms of deliveries, equaling Viv Richards.
68 Number of minutes in which Misbah got to his hundred, a record. Richards is second on this list - he scored his century in 72 minutes.
138 The partnership strike rate for Pakistan's fourth wicket. Misbah and Azhar Ali posted 141 runs from 102 balls. This is the the best rate for a 100-plus partnership by a Pakistan pair, and the third-fastest ever.
2 Number of instances where two batsmen from a team have scored twin hundreds in a Test. Misbah and Azhar scored two hundreds each in this Test. The only previous instance involved Greg Chappell and Ian Chappell, in Hamilton in 1974.
21 Number of balls in which Misbah got to his fifty - a record. The previous fastest fifty in Test cricket was by Jacques Kallis, off 24 balls, against Zimbabwe, in Cape Town, in 2005.
24 Number of minutes in which Misbah got to fifty, also a record. The previous record holder was Mohammad Ashraful, who scored a fifty in 27 minutes, against India, in Mirpur in 2007.
