Counting Karachi: Second Test by the numbers

1,030 Pakistan became just the second team in Test history to survive more than 1,000 balls in saving a Test, after England's batters lasted 218.2 eight-ball overs against South Africa in Durban in 1939, when the timeless Test was ultimately called a draw so the visitors wouldn't miss their boat home.

196 Babar Azam is now the proud owner of the highest fourth-innings Test score against Australia, surpassing Kumar Sangakkara's 192, made in Hobart in 2007. Babar's effort places him seventh against all comers on a list headed up by the inimitable George Headley, who scored 223 to save a Test against England in Jamaica, 1930.

425 Babar's tally of balls faced is the fourth most in the fourth innings of a Test, and the second-most against Australia after Herb Sutcliffe's 462-ball Ashes epic way back in 1928. Former England captain Mike Atherton's famous 492-ball 185no against South Africa in 1995 tops this list.

55 Nathan Lyon's overs bowled was the second-most of his career, behind only his 57.2 overs against India in a rainy draw in 2019.

421 Lyon now sits equal 13th on the all-time Test wicket-takers list, with his five in this match having taken him past fellow off-spinner Harbhajan Singh (417).

53.4 Leggie Mitchell Swepson got through the most overs by an Australian Test debutant since Tim May spun his way through 54 overs against the Kiwis in Adelaide, back in December 1987.

104no Mohammad Rizwan is just the fourth wicketkeeper to make a fourth-innings Test century in a win or a draw, following on from Adam Gilchrist (1999), Matt Prior and AB de Villiers (both 2013).

204 Usman Khawaja's match double of 160 and 44 is the second time he has scored 200-plus runs in a Test match in Asia, following on from his 85 and 141 against Pakistan in Dubai in 2018. Among Australians, Allan Border is the only other player to have done this twice.

7-443 This is the second time in recent years Pakistan have scored more than 400 in the fourth innings of a Test against Australia, having piled on 450 in a losing cause at the Gabba in 2016. Prior to that, it had only happened six times against the Aussies, and surprisingly, before this Test it had never happened in Asia.

3 The drawn Test means Australia have now won just three of their past 28 Tests in Asia, stretching back to 2008. Prior to that, they won four consecutive series – against Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

2 It has been almost a decade since Australia began a Test series with two draws. That was in November 2012 at home to South Africa – a three-match series they ultimately lost 1-0.
