7 Left handed batsmen in England’s XI – the most any team has fielded in a Test against India. There have been 16 previous instances of a team including six lefties, first in 1993 and the remaining 15 all since 2001
10 Hundreds for Pujara in Tests and he has never been dismissed in the 90s. The players with more hundreds without ever getting dismissed in the nineties are Don Bradman (29), Michael Vaughan (18), Ian Botham (14), Polly Umrigar and Ijaz Ahmed (12 each).
226 -run partnership between Pujara and Kohli is their fourth stand of 100 or more in Tests and first in their last 19 innings together. They went past their previous highest of 222 against South Africa in Johannesburg in December 2013

Stats highlights for Day 1 of the second Test:
13 Jayant Yadav became the first debutant for India in 13 Tests and the first since Naman Ojha at Colombo (SSC) last year. Only once India had a longer stretch without a debutant - 17 matches between 19 July 2007 and 09 October 2008.
7 Left handed batsmen in England's XI - the most any team has fielded in a Test against India. There have been 16 previous instances of a team including six lefties, first in 1993 and the remaining 15 all since 2001.
2 Players getting to the 3000-run mark today for India - Murali Vijay was the first to get there in his 75th innings while Pujara reached there in seven innings fewer, later in the innings.
36 Innings taken by Pujara to reach 2000 runs at home. He is the 16th to do so and the second fastest to the landmark for India after Mohammad Azharuddin, who reached there in just 33 innings.
10 Hundreds for Pujara in Tests and he has never been dismissed in the 90s. The players with more hundreds without ever getting dismissed in the nineties are Don Bradman (29), Michael Vaughan (18), Ian Botham (14), Polly Umrigar and Ijaz Ahmed (12 each).
3 Hundreds scored by Pujara in the maiden Test at a venue in India - the most by a player. Before his 119 today in Vizag's maiden Test, he scored hundreds in the maiden Tests in Indore and Rajkot in his last two Tests. The others with more than one such instance are Sachin Tendulkar (Lucknow & Nagpur) and Virat Kohli (Indore and Vizag).
6 Virat Kohli became the sixth Indian player and 37th overall to score hundred in his 50th Test match.
1.076 Ratio of hundreds to fifties for Kohli in Tests the second best for any player with more than 10 Test hundreds after Don Bradmans 2.230 (29 to 13).
226-run partnership between Pujara and Kohli is their fourth stand of 100 or more in Tests and first in their last 19 innings together. They went past their previous highest of 222 against South Africa in Johannesburg in December 2013.
2 Third wicket stands for India against England higher than 226 by Pujara and Kohli. Gundappa Vishwanath and Yaspal Sharma put together 316 in Chennai in 1982 and Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly's 255 in Trent Bridge in 1996. It was also Indias first 100+ stand for the third wicket against England since 150 by Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in Leeds in 2002.
25 Runs scored by Kohli off 44 balls from Anderson today the most for him in an innings. Off the 131 balls faced from Anderson before today, Kohli managed only 42 runs, getting dismissed five times in the process.
4.17 Run rate for India in the post lunch session. In comparison, the post lunch session was the slowest in terms of run rates in three of the last four days of the first Test in Rajkot.
2 Maiden overs by England spinners out of the 49 they bowled. They conceded 3.67 per over without any success in comparison to four wickets by the pacers at 3.29 per over.

Report at Lunch:
Moeen Ali is to India what an Irodov puzzle craves to be to an aspiring engineer. - menacing. Challenging India both with spin and the lack of it, Moeen had Kohli - his first of the three wickets this morning - eerily edging to slip, where Stokes had dropped an equally tough chance a ball before. Effectively, England bartered Ashwin's wicket for Kohli's - no, it wasn't a part of any grand plan from Stokes - and resurrected an ordinary morning infested with average captaincy - no gully for Ashwin, third man outside the ring and thus easy singles allowed with the second new ball. Moeen then pinned Saha, who reviewed in vain, unlike Jadeja who should have: ball tracking had the ball missing the leg-stump, piling India's DRS miseries. Overall, a shared morning session when you would have expected India to run away with the initiative. 98 runs were still scored and Ashwin is there, stockpiling runs against England with debutant Jayant who's looked calm.
