Mumbai, Dec 07: Day 3 of the Eden Gardens Test between India and England was again dominated by the visitors. After resuming from their overnight total of 216/1, Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott continued to pile pressure on the Indian bowlers. While Cook looked unflappable, the patient and clinical Trott gave him great company as he himself brought up a well-deserved half-century. Before the right-hander was dismissed by Pragyan Ojha for 87, he broke the record for facing the most number of balls in Test cricket without hitting a six!

Here are all the stats highlights from another riveting day of Test cricket:

The 173-run partnership between Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott is England's second best for the second wicket in India after the 241-run partnership between Mike Gatting and Graeme Fowler at Chennai in 1984-85.

Alastair Cook (190) became the third batsman to be dismissed run-out in the 190s against India after Gary Sobers (198, Kanpur, 1958-59) and Younis Khan (199, Lahore, 2005-06)

Cook was run-out for the first time in Test cricket in his 151st innings. He now holds the record of getting run-out for the first time after playing most innings. It may, however, be noted that India’s Kapil Dev was never run-out in his entire Test career despite playing 184 innings.

The run-out dismissal was also Cook’s first in his first-class cricket career. He was playing his

177th match and 312nd innings.

Cook’s innings is now the second highest by a visiting captain on Indian soil after Clive Lloyd’s unbeaten 242 for West Indies at Mumbai in 1974-75.

Cook became only the second visiting captain to score 150 on two occasions on Indian soil. He emulated West Indian Clive Lloyd, who has three such scores against his name. Cook now also has the top two scores by an England captain on Indian soil.

Cook’s innings is also the second highest by a visiting batsman at the Eden Gardens, after West Indies’ Rohan Kanhai’s 256 in 1958-59.

By the end of his innings Cook took his run aggregate in Test matches in 2012 to 1234. Only Michael Clarke (1358) has scored more Test runs in 2012.

Cook’s aggregate of 547 runs is the third highest by any England batsman in a series on Indian soil, after Ken Barrington’s 594 in 1961-62 and Mike Gatting’s 575 in 1984-85 (both five-match series).

Alastair Cook has now consumed 1160 balls in the series. He is slowly inching towards Australia’s Kim Hughes’ record of facing most balls in a series against India in India. Hughes faced 1269 balls in the 1979-80 series.

Jonathan Trott has now played 5902 balls without hitting a single six in Test cricket. He now holds the world record of playing most balls without ever clearing the boundary. Trott went ahead of countryman Chris Tavare, who had faced 5735 balls in 56 innings without ever hitting a six.

England's total of 509 is their highest ever in Tests in Kolkata. Overall, it is the third highest by a visiting team at the venue.

England posted a 500-plus total on Indian soil after a gap of about 28 years. The last such occasion was in January 1985 when England made 652 for seven declared at Chennai. This is also England’s third highest total in India.
