Statistical highlights of the fifth and final day's play in the first cricket Test between India and England in Chennai on Monday.
# Sachin Tendulkar, with his 103 not out, his fifth Test hundred at Chepauk, has equalled the feats of Mohammad Azharuddin (5 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata) and Sunil Gavaskar (5 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai). They share the Indian record for most hundreds (5) at one venue.
# Tendulkar's 41st hundred is his seventh in 23 Tests against England. He is the first player to post seven hundreds in India-England Tests, beating Azharuddin's tally of six centuries in 15 Tests.
# Tendulkar has achieved another distinction in the course of his outstanding innings of 103 not out. For the fifth time in his Test career, he has amassed 1,000 runs in a calendar year, emulating the feats of West Indian, Brian Lara and Australia's Matthew Hayden.
# Tendulkar is the third Indian and the sixth batsman to amass 1,000 runs this year - the top six being Virender Sehwag (1445), Graeme Smith (1363), VVS Laxman (1071), Sachin Tendulkar(1047), Hashim Amla (1012) and Neil McKenzie (1002).
# Tendulkar became the first player to appear in 50 Test wins for India.
# Gautam Gambhir's first fifty against England is his eighth in Test Cricket.
# Gambhir has amassed 858 at an average of 61.28, including two centuries and five fifties this year - his best ever performance in a calendar year.
# For the first time in his career, Rahul Dravid has recorded single digit scores in two successive Tests (four innings) - 0 and 3 vs Australia at Nagpur, 3 and 4 vs England at Chennai.
# Since the 2002 Headingley Test (52.76) against England, Dravid's career average (52.12) is the lowest ever.
# In the calendar year 2008, his batting average is 27.87 - 669 in 14 Tests, including one century and four fifties.

# Yuvraj's first fifty against England is his fourth in Test Cricket.
