The second Test between India and Pakistan at Faisalabad ended in a tame draw. However, it was a statistician's delight as lot of records were broken and new ones were established. We take a look at some of them.
The match aggregate of 1702 runs for the loss of 28 wickets is the highest run-aggregate in a Test between India and Pakistan and seventh highest in all Test cricket. The details:

Pakistan's match aggregate of 1078 (588 + 490) is the second highest for a side in Test cricket after England's 1121 (for the loss of 19 wickets) at Kingston in 1929-30. It is, however, the highest in a five-day Test. The details:
| Total-wkts | Countries | Venue | Season |

There were nine instances of bowlers conceding 100 runs or more in the second Test -- Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble (in both the innings) for India and Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Asif, Abdul Razzaq and Danish Kaneria for Pakistan.
This is now a new record of most instances of bowlers conceding 100 runs in a Test match. The previous record was of 8 instances as listed below:
| 100s | Countries | Venue | Season |
| 9 | Pak v Ind | Faisalabad | 2005-06 |

The first two Tests of the series have seen as many as 12 centuries -- 6 each at Lahore and Faisalabad. This equals the existing world record of most centuries in first two Tests of a series. Interestingly, the previous two occasions also involved India. The details:
| Season | Countries | Venue | Batsmen & Score |
| 1990 | Eng v Ind | Lord's | G Gooch - 333 & 123, A Lamb-139, R Smith-100* |
| R Shastri - 100, M Azharuddin - 121 | |||
| Manchester | G Gooch - 116, M Atherton - 131, R Smith -121*, A Lamb-109 | ||
| M Azharuddin - 179, S Tendulkar - 119* | |||
| 1997 | SL v Ind | Colombo RP | N Sidhu -111, S Tendulkar -143, M Azharuddin -126 |
| S Jayasuriya- 340, R Mahanama- 225, A de Silva -126 | |||
| Colombo SSC | A de Silva - 146 & 120, S Jayasuriya- 199 | ||

| R Dravid- 103, M S Dhoni- 148 |
Younis Khan (194) failed to reach his double century for the second time in this series. He had been dismissed for 199 in Pakistan's only innings in the first Test at Lahore. Younis, thus, became the first batsman ever to register scores of 190s in successive Tests. England's Bill Edrich with scores of 189 and 191 in second and third Test against South Africa at Lord's and Manchester in 1947 has come closest to this record before Younis.
The 27 sixes in the match (18 by Pakistan and 9 by India) are a new world record, this obliterated the previous record of 23 sixes set by New Zealand and England in 2001-02 at Christchurch. The 18 sixes by the Pakistan batsmen also equalled the existing world record of most sixes by a side in a Test match. West Indies had hit the same number of sixes at St. John's in 1985-86 in a match remembered for Viv Richards's 56-ball hundred.
