Stat highlights from Day 3 of the Test from Rajkot:
8 Hundreds by Pujara in 53 innings at number three, the joint second-most for India along with Mohinder Amarnath (in 66 innings) and Dilip Vengsarkar (in 74). Only Rahul Dravid has scored more for India at this position - 28.
0 Previous instances of Pujara scoring hundreds in two consecutive innings. He scored 101* in the second innings of the Indore Test against New Zealand last month.
41 Years since an Indian player scored a hundred at his home ground in its inaugural Test. The only players to do it before Pujara are Eknath Solkar at the Wankhede Stadium in 1975 and Rusi Modi at the Brabourne Stadium in 1948 . The last instance of an Indian player scoring a hundred at his home venue was the 111* by Rohit Sharma against West Indies in Mumbai in 2013.
93.66 Pujara's average against England in five home Tests. In eight innings against them in India, he has registered three-figure scores thrice, including a double century. However, he has a modest record in England - 222 runs at 22.20 in 10 innings with a highest of 55.
1043 Runs scored by Pujara in first class matches since the start of this home season. He has scored four hundreds and four fifties in 11 innings at a Bradmanesque average of 115.88 this season.
7 Hundreds for Vijay in Test matches. Four of the seven tons have come at home with this effort being the lowest of the lot. This is his second hundred against England, after the 146 in Trent Bridge in 2014.
13 Vijay and Pujara became the 13th pair to put together 2000-plus partnership runs for India in Tests. The average runs per stand of 65.09 for the duo is the best among those 13 pairs.
209-run stand between Vijay and Pujara is the second-highest second-wicket stand for India against England after the 314-run stand between Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid in Mohali in 2008.
6 Instances of five or more hundreds scored after the first two innings of a Test in India. The first such instance happened in 1948 and the other four before today all came between 2003 and 2010.
4 Sixes hit by Vijay in his innings of 126 - the joint most for an Indian player against England in a Test innings. The others to hit four each are Kapil Dev (Lord's, 1990), MS Dhoni (Oval, 2007), Virender Sehwag (Chennai, 2008) and Yuvraj Singh (Mohali, 2008).
4 Instances of Gautam Gambhir getting dismissed by Stuart Broad in Tests. He averages 29 against Broad and has been dismissed more often only by Graeme Swann (7) and James Anderson (6).
68.75 Dot ball percentage for Adil Rashid so far in India's first innings, the most for him in the first innings of a Test. 66 out of the 96 deliveries weren't scored off, with the leg spinner conceding only five boundaries in the innings so far. It is also the first time in his career, he has an economy rate of under three (2.93) in an innings.
