Pakistan VS. England Third Test Highlights, Karachi
     
  • Rehan Ahmed became the youngest men's player to play Test cricket for England. At 18 years and 126 days, he overtook Brian Close's record (18 years and 149 days) in 1949. The youngest player selected for any country is Pakistan's Hasan Raza (14 years and 227 days) in 1996-97.
  • For the fifth time, both captains were run out in the same Test. All occasions, bar one, have happened in the first innings of a Test.
  • Jack Leach has now opened the bowling of an England opponent's first innings on three occasions. This is the most that an England spinner has done so since Frank Woolley did so twice (in 1913-14 and lastly in 1921).
  • Harry Brook became the first England player to register three centuries in his first four Tests. Sunil Gavaskar (India) and George Headley (West Indies) both scored four centuries in their first four Tests whilst Conrad Hunte (West Indies), Mohammad Azharuddin (India) and Arthur Morris (Australia), like Brook, made three.
  • Brook's first three Tests against Pakistan have brought him 468 runs which is second to only Zak Crawley (492) by an England player who achieved his feat earlier in this series. Sir Garfield Sobers (549) heads the list.
  • Brook became the sixth player, and second from England, to score three centuries in a series of no more than three Tests. Graham Gooch (752 runs in 3 Tests, average 125.33) was the last English player to do so, against India in 1990. Brook is the only English player to do so overseas.
  • Brook's series aggregate is also the highest by an England player in a series in Pakistan overtaking David Gower's 449 in 1983-84. Ben Duckett's 357 runs in the series is fourth highest for England.
  • Joe Root's first innings, first-ball dismissal is his third in Tests. The previous occasions were both against England in 2019, at Lord's and Old Trafford. It is also only his second time when he has not made a run in a Test, the last being against Sri Lanka at Headingley in 2016. On both occasions, he did not bat in the second innings.
  • The last time that both England openers fell lbw in the same innings was also against Pakistan, at Old Trafford in 2020.
  • The England first innings saw the first time for Pakistan that two spinners opened the bowling in the opposing team's first innings. The last such occasion for any side was at Chittagong in 2019 by Bangladesh against Afghanistan.
  • Rehan Ahmed became the youngest player to take five wickets in an innings on debut. At 18 years and 128 days, he overtook Pat Cummins (18 years 196 days).
  • Rehan is the youngest player to take five wickets in an innings for England. The previous youngest was Bill Voce (20 years 182 days) against West Indies at Port-of-Spain in 1929-30. The youngest by any player is Nasim-ul-Ghani (16 years 307 days) for Pakistan vs. West Indies at Georgetown in 1957-58.
  • Crawley became the first England player since Nick Knight to be dismissed lbw twice in the same match to the same Pakistani bowler. At Lord's in 1996, Knight was twice lbw to Waqar Younis.
  • Azhar Ali finished his Test career (7142 runs in 97 Tests, average 42.26) with a duck. The highest-scoring player to also finish with a duck is Shivnarine Chanderpaul (11867 runs in 164 Tests, average 51.37)

  • For the first time, an England team won all three Tests in a series against Pakistan, in Pakistan.
  • The only other occasion of England winning all Tests in a minimum of a three-match series was against Sri Lanka in 2018-19.
  • Pakistan's defeat is only their third against all opposition at Karachi's National Stadium in 45 Tests. Their previous loss was against South Africa in 2007-08.
  • Based on a captain's first eleven Tests, Ben Stokes's record of nine wins is joint-highest with three other captains. Percy Chapman (England), Ricky Ponting and Lindsay Hassett (Australia) both achieved the feat. Mahendra Singh Dhoni (India) with eight wins is the only captain to be undefeated in his first eleven Tests as captain.
