Nagpur: Statistical highlights of the second day`s play of the fourth and final cricket Test between India and England here on Friday.
James Anderson`s tally of 47 wickets at an average of 28.91 in 14 Tests is the third highest this year, behind Graeme Swann`s 57 at 29.80 runs apiece in 14 Tests and Rangana Herath`s 55 at 21.80 runs apiece in nine Tests.
Anderson has bagged Sachin Tendulkar`s wicket on nine occasions in Tests - the most occasions a bowler has taken his wicket. Anderson`s tally of nine Test dismissals is the highest he has claimed a player`s wicket.
Gautam Gambhir is the 12th Indian player to complete 4,000 runs in Tests, totalling 4021 at an average of 44.18 in 54 Tests.
Gambhir`s average of 41.83 in the present series is his highest in five Test series. He had recorded 17.00 against England in 2011; 39.00 against the West Indies in 2011-12; 22.62 against Australia in 2011-12 and 19.33 against New Zealand in 2012.
Graeme Swann (56 off 91 balls) has posted his fifth fifty in Test cricket - his first against India. The said knock is the highest innings by number nine batsman for England against India on Indian soil, eclipsing John Lever`s 53 in the 1976-77 Delhi Test.
Swann`s only other Test fifty away from home is 85 against South Africa at Centurion in December 2009.
Joe Root`s superb innings of 73 is the sixth highest by an England batsman on his Test debut against India. He had faced 229 balls - the sixth highest by an England player in his debut innings in Tests.
