1951 The last time a seamer older than James Anderson (39 years 14 days) took a five wicket haul in Test cricket was in the year 1951.

South Africa's Geoff Chubb was 40 years 86 days when he returned the figures of six for 51 against England at Manchester.

364 India's total --their highest ever in a Test in England after being put in to bat.

There has been only one higher total by a visiting side at Lord's after being put in to bat -- 491 for seven declared by Sri Lanka in 1984.

India won two and drew six of the 8 previous Tests in England where they scored 300+ runs in the first innings.

4 Number of Indian wicket-keepers to aggregate 1,000 runs outside India. Rishabh Pant joined Farokh Engineer, Syed Kirmani and M S Dhoni.
