Stats highlights from the first day's play in Chennai:
10 Alastair Cook became the tenth batsman to reach the landmark of 11,000 runs in Test cricket. He has taken the least time from debut (10 years and 290 days) and at 31 years and 257 days, he is also the youngest to reach the milestone.
5 Instances of Cook getting dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja this series - the most he got out to a bowler in a series. He got dismissed four times each by a bowler on six instances but never got out to a left-arm spinner more than twice in a series in the 140 Tests he has played so far.
1385 Runs scored by Joe Root in Tests last year. With his first scoring shot of the day, a boundary off Umesh Yadav, he went past that and currently has 1471 runs in 2016.
13 Fifty-plus scores for Root in 2016. He has equaled his own record he had set in last year for the most such scores in a calendar year. Virender Sehwag in 2010 is the only other to have 13 50-plus scores in a year.
11 Root has now scored at least fifty (or more) in each of the 11 Tests he played against India. The only next best run for any player against an opposition is Doug Walters who scored fifty or more in each of his nine Tests against West Indies.
16 Dismissals for Root between 70 and 99 - the most for any player in Test cricket since Root's debut in December 2012. The next worst for any other player in the time period is ten for Cook.
1481 Runs scored by Michael Vaughan in Tests in 2002, the most by an England batsman in a calendar year. Root fell ten short of the record while Bairstow missed it by 12 runs and have at most one innings left this year to go past the record. Interestingly, all three play for Yorkshire in county cricket.
351 runs by Bairstow is the most for an England wicketkeeper in a series against India. He went past the 64-year old record of d*ck Spooner who scored 319 runs in five Tests in India in 1951. It is also the most for an England wicketkeeper in a series in Asia bettering Spooner's record mentioned above.
6 Moeen Ali became the sixth England batsman to score two or more centuries in a series in India after Ken Barrington (1961-62), Colin Cowdrey (1964), Mike Gatting (1984-85), Andrew Strauss (2008) and Cook (2012). His four Test centuries in 2016 is the joint most for any player this year alongside Virat Kohli.
4 England players scoring more than 1000 runs in Tests in 2016 - Root (1471), Bairstow (1469), Cook (1221) and Ali (1008). It is just the fifth instance of four players scoring 1000 or more runs in a calendar year for a team and second such instance for England after 2006.
13 Virat Kohli became the 13th Indian fielder to pouch 50 catches in Tests. 53 Tests by him to 50 catches is the fourth fewest for India after Eknath Solkar (26), VVS Laxman (42) and Rahul Dravid (43).
