Stats highlights from the first day of the Kolkata Test between India and Pakistan

# India’s total of 352 for 3 is their fourth-highest on the first day of a Test. All three previous efforts had major contributions from Virender Sehwag: he made 105 on debut in Bloemfontein in 2001-02, when India hammered 372 for 7, contributed 180 to the team’s 361 for 4 in St Lucia, and made 228 out of India’s first-day score of 356 for 2 in Multan in 2004-05..

# The star of the day was undoubtedly Wasim Jaffer, who ended the day on a superb unbeaten 192, his fifth Test century and his first against Pakistan. He needs just 21 more to go past the 212 he had scored against West Indies in Antigua, which is his highest score in Tests. Read more
