Tamim on the verge of history

2 Number of Bangladesh batsmen who have scored 3000-plus runs in Test cricket. Habibul Bashar (3026) was the first to reach this mark. Tamim Iqbal (3010) became the second Bangladesh batsman to reach this milestone today and will soon become the leading run-scorer in Bangladesh's Test history.

1045 Runs scored by Shakib Al Hasan in Tests at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur. He went past the 1000-run mark at this venue during his innings of 89 in Bangladesh's first innings. Shakib is the first Bangladesh batsman to score 1000-plus Test runs at a single venue.

99 Shakib's strike rate during his innings of 89 not-out off 91 balls. There have been only one instance of a Bangladesh batsman making a higher score at a higher strike rate - Tamim scored 103 off 100 balls (strike rate - 103) against England at Lord's in 2010.

3 Number of times Pakistan have set the opposition a 500-plus target in the fourth innings of a Test. The previous two instances were against India (2006) and Australia (2014). Pakistan went on to win those Tests by 341 runs and 356 runs respectively.

196 The most overs Bangladesh have ever played out in a Test innings, against Sri Lanka at Galle in 2013. Bangladesh have about 194 overs to play out in this Test, unless they achieve their target before that, or get bowled out.

217 Bangladesh's highest fourth innings score in a successful chase, against West Indies at St. George's in 2009. They need to make more than 250% of that score (550) to win this Test.

1 Instances of a team losing a Test match after having a lead of 300 or more in the first innings - Pakistan against England, 2006, when Pakistan refused to take the field after a ball-tampering controversy. The match was awarded to England.
