Compton batted for less than a day to score his 34 four and a six punchuated double century in this second test of that series.

The highest team total in Pakistan vs England test matches is 708 allout, by Pakistan, made at The Oval back in August 1987..
Traditionally a batting beauty, Kennington Oval hosted this last test match on Pakistan's tour of England and visitors won a good toss which nearly sealed the series for them as they had 1-0 lead coming into this match. Opener Rameez Raja and No.3 Manzoor Akhtar missed out but Mudassar Nazar (73), Javed Miandad (260), Saleem Mallik (102) cashed in. Captain Imran Khan nailed in a century late on day two to push visitors in commanding position before they were allout on day 3, breaking their highest ever total against any country, beating 674 for 4 ... ..

The best bowling performance in England v Pakistan test match is jointly held by two bowlers = Abdul Qadir of Pakistan and Derek Underwood of England who both have taken 13 wickets in a test match between two countries..
Abdul Qadir, probably the best leg spinner ever produced by Pakistan, was on top of his game in late 1980s when England came on tour. At Gaddafi stadium in Lahore, captain Mike Gatting elected to bat first but right from first wicket of opener Graham Gooch, Qadir started to spell his magic over English batters. 1 wkt for 22 to 8 wkts for 94, Englishmen were saved by tailenders to give them some sort of score of 175 allout ... ..

Record of Highest partnership in England vs Pakistan test match belongs to Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf who put together a stand of 363 for the 3rd wicket at Headingley in Leeds back in August 2006..
It was the second innings of a test match after England had posted mamoth 515 allout after electing to bat first. Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood had scored tons but Younis + Yusuf partnership made sure home team took an improbable lead. Younis scored 173 from 285 balls while Yousuf contributed 192 from 261 balls.
England scored quick 345 in their second innings, thanks to century from Marcus Trescothick and bowled out Pakistan for just 155 to win that game ... .. Read complete article |

When we talk lowest totals in England v Pakistan test matches, we've to recall two distinct series in 2010 and 1954, on which asian team made array of lowest totals. On 2010 tour, Pakistan started with 182 allout and then 80 for 10 wkts in second innings to lose that Trent Bridge game by 354 runs. In first innings of next test match, visitors were 72 allout, rewriting their poorest performance once again.
On that 1954 tour, in 1st innings of first test match, at Lord's, Pakistan were invited in to bat first after first 3 days were rained off and visitors slipped to 87 allout. Fast bowlers Brian Statham and Johnny Wardle took 4 wickets each. Only ... .. Read complete article |

Pakistan and England have played many test matches that went down to the wire but the one I feel was the closest one was at Multan in November 2005, the first test of last time England toured Pakistan..
Electing to bat first, captain Inzamam-ul-Haq had to score a crucial half century to push his team to a respectable 1st innings total of 274 against a fired up Andrew Flintoff who took 4 wickets. England reply was solid, thanks to 193 by Marcus Trescothick and quick 45 by Flintoff. Visitors had scored their runs at almost 4 run per over which made sure plenty of time remained in the game and Pakistan could crawl their way back into the ... .. Read complete article |
