* Salman Butt became only the fourth Pakistani batsman for the fifth time to be dismissed on the very first ball of an innings. See Table 3.
* Pakistan have now gone 10 Tests without losing one. Their last defeat was against West Indies at Bridgetown in May 2005 when they were drubbed by 276 runs. Since then they have played 10 Tests won 5, drew 5. See Table 4.
* At the end of the Lord’s Test, Inzamam now has a Test batting average of 61.72 as captain. Among captains who have scored atleast 1000 or more in Test cricket this is now the third best among all after Don Bradman’s incredible 101.52 and Ricky Ponting’s 63.21. Against England as captain (with 500 runs or more), Inzi betters Bradman with an average of 111.2. See Tables 5 & 6.
* Inzamam's twin scores of fifty plus in the Lord's Test makes him only the second man after Alan Border to have 11 or more twin-fifties in a match. Border had scored fifty in both innings of the match on 13 occasions while Inzi has now registered 11 such instances. See Table 7.
