2nd Test, Day 3 at Port of Spain, Trinidad

** For the second time in succession India has taken a first innings lead at this venue. It had a 140 run lead when it last played at this venue in 1997.

** For the second time in his career, Tendulkar has a hundred and a duck in the same Test match. He had scores of 0 and 136 against Pakistan at Chennai in January 1999.

** Tendulkar now emulates Vijay Manjrekar by becoming the second Indian batsman to do so on two separate occasions. Manjrekar had scores of 133 & 0 (against England at Leeds in June 1952) and 108 & 0 (also against England at Corporation Stadium, Madras, in January 1964). Incidentally 11 Indian batsmen have scored a duck and a hundred on 13 occasions in Tests.

** Tendulkar, now also joins a select band of 12 other batsmen, including Don Bradman, who have a duck and a hundred in same Test match on two separate occasions. No other Test batsman has done it more than two occasions.

** On the first day, Tendulkar had brought his tally of 29 Test hundreds on par with the Sir Don, however on the third day, by registering his eighth duck of his career, he went past Australian's tally of seven ducks in Tests.

** Incidentally, Tendulkar's last duck before this one came against Australia at Adelaide when he was controversially adjudged 'leg-before' by Australian umpire Daryl Harper after he was hit on the arm by a Glenn McGrath delivery. Since the Adelaide duck, Tendulkar has aggregated 2196 runs (avg. 68.63) in 21 matches and 35 innings, with eight hundreds and 9 fifties, before registering his eighth duck in the second innings of this Test match.

** This was Tendulkar's first duck against the West Indies in his 10th match and 15th innings. His previous lowest score against this team was the four he made in the Bridgetown Test match in March 1997.

** Adam Sanford, meanwhile, joins six other bowlers - New Zealander Danny Morrison (in 1989-90), Zimbabwean John Traicos (1992-93), South African Brett Schultz (1992-93), Australian Glenn McGrath (twice - in 1996-97 & 1999-00), Pakistanis Saqlain Mushtaq and Shoaib Akhtar (both in 1998-99) - who have the distinction of claiming Tendulkar's wicket before he has opened his account in Test cricket.

** Tendulkar, who has been a 'leg-before' victim in his last five Test innings, has now been dismissed in this manner on 20 occasions. He went past Dilip Vengsarkar's tally of 19 such dismissals. Now among Indian batsmen only Kapil Dev (28) has been dismissed 'leg-before' on more occasions than Tendulkar.
