    2 Pakistan became only the second team in first-class cricket to lose by an innings despite a total of over 550. Leicestershire were the first team of this kind, losing to Glamorgan by an innings and 28 runs, despite a total of 584 first innings totals in 2022.

    3 There have been instances of England conceding more than 550 goals in a Test innings since Brendon McCullum became their head coach in May 2022. England won all three Tests, the previous two in 2022 – the Nottingham Test against New Zealand and the Rawalpindi Test against Pakistan.

    Pakistan’s 556 all-outs in the first innings in Multan is now the fifth-highest total to end in defeat in Test cricket. Two of the top four Test aggregate defeats also came to Pakistan.

    2 Innings wins for England in Tests in Asia, including this recent win in Multan. The other instance was against India in 1976 when they won by an innings and 25 runs in Delhi.

    6 Consecutive Test defeats for Pakistan, a streak that began in December last year. This is their longest Test losing streak, alongside six consecutive defeats in 2016–17 and 2018–19.

    11 Consecutive home Test matches for Pakistan since their last win in 2021 against South Africa. It is now Pakistan’s longest winning streak at home, equaling their 11-match winning streak between 1969 and 1975.

    6 Test matches as captain for Shan Masood – Pakistan lost all six. Only four other captains have lost six or more consecutive Test matches since their captaincy debut – Khaled Mashud (12), Khaled Mahmud (9), Mohammad Ashraful (8) and Graeme Cremer (6).

    2004 The last time Pakistan lost a Test by an innings margin was against India in Rawalpindi. Pakistan’s last home innings defeat (in Pakistan or the United Arab Emirates) came against New Zealand in Sharjah in 2014.

    2.87 Partnership average of Abdullah Shafique and Saim Ayub in Test cricket, the lowest of any opening pair in the format with at least eight innings.

    1379 Runs scored by Pakistan and England in their respective first innings in Multan. It is the third highest first innings total for a Test match and the highest ever to end in a score.

    The previous highest first innings total resulting in a score was 1236 runs in the 2016 Chennai Test between India and England and the 2022 Rawalpindi Test between Pakistan and England.
