398 -- Number of minutes taken by Gautam Gambhir to complete his hundred, fifth slowest by an Indian in an away Test.

50 -- The six off Iain O'Brien was 50th for Sachin Tendulkar in Test cricket. He became the fourth Indian after Virender Sehwag (65), Kapil Dev (61) and Sourav Ganguly (57) to do so.

28.18  -- Rahul Dravid's scoring-rate (runs per 100 balls) during his innings of 62, the slowest he has batted in an innings of 50 or more.

22 -- Number of months after which Rahul Dravid hit a six in Test cricket (off Jeetan Patel). He had last hit a six against Bangladesh at Dhaka in May 2007 (off Mohammad Ashraful).

10 -- Number of times Dravid has scored at least a fifty in both innings of a Test. He beats Sunil Gavaskar's Indian record of making a fifty-plus score in both innings of a Test on most occasions.

3 -- Gambhir also became only the third Indian left-hander to complete 2,000 runs in Test cricket after Sourav Ganguly (7,212 runs in 113 Tests) and Ajit Wadekar (2,113 runs in 37 Tests).

2.27 -- India's run-rate in the day. They scored 205 runs in the 90 overs.

2 -- Gambhir became only the second Indian opener to score a hundred on New Zealand soil after Sunil Gavaskar, who made 116 at Auckland in 1975-76.

1 -- Wickets lost by India in the full day's play.
