A plethora of records were established on the second day of the Lahore [Images] Test as Pakistan batsmen sent the Indian fielders on a leather-hunt as Shahid Afridi [Images] and Kamran Akmal made a mockery of the Indian bowling attack.
Pakistan's total of 679 for 7 declared is the third highest score against India as detailed in the table below:

Fastest centuries by wicketkeepers:
Balls | Keeper (Score) | Countries | Venue | Season |

Shahid Afridi hit Harbhajan Singh [Images] for 27 runs in a single over. Afridi, in fact, missed a great opportunity to establish a new world record of most runs in an over. All he needed was a mighty heave off last two balls after four towering sixes off the first four balls. Though he could manage only three runs off last two balls, Afridi is now placed second at all-time list of batsmen with most runs in one over.
Most runs in a single over in Tests:
(Six-ball over)
28 (466444) | Brian Lara [Images] off Robin Peterson | Jo'burg | 2003-04 |
27 (666621) | Shahid Afridi off Harbhajan Singh | Lahore | 2005-06 |
26 (444464) | Craig McMillan [Images] off Younis Khan | Hamilton | 2000-01 |
24 (462660) | Andy Roberts off Ian Botham | Port-of-Spain | 1980-81 |
24 (4440444) | Sandeep Patil off Bob Willis | Manchester | 1982 |
24 (464604) | Ian Botham off Derek Stirling | The Oval | 1986 |
24 (006666) | Kapil Dev [Images] off Eddie Hemmings | Lord's | 1990 |
24 (244266) | Ian Smith off Atul Wassan | Auckland | 1989-90 |
24 (444426) | Yousuf Youhana off Nicky Boje | CapeTown | 2002-03 |
24 (444444) | Chris Gayle off Matthew Hoggard [Images] | The Oval | 2004 |
(Eight-ball over) 25 (66061600) | Bert Sutcliffe & Bob Blair off Hugh Tayfield | Jo'burg | 1953-54 |
24 (2x6,3x4) | John Morrison off Imran Khan [Images] | Karachi | 1976-77 |
(A leg-bye came off Botham's last ball, thus 25 runs were made in the over The third ball of Willis' over was a no-ball, however it was not debited against the bowler's analysis as per the rules prevailing at that time. There has been one more instance of 25 runs scored in one over. England's [Images] Andrew Caddick was carted for so many runs in the Christchurch Test against New Zealand [Images] in 2001-02, but only 23 runs came off the bats of Nathan Astle and Chris Cairns [Images].)
By hitting Harbhajan Singh for four consecutive sixes, Shahid Afridi equalled Kapil Dev's record of most consecutive sixes in a Test innings.
Most consecutive sixes:
4 | Kapil Dev (77*) off Eddie Hemmings | Ind v Eng | Lord's | 1990 |
4 | Shahid Afridi (103) off Harbhajan Singh | Pak v Ind | Lahore | 2005-06 |
3 | WR Hammond (336*) off J Newman | Eng v NZ | Auckland | 1932-33 |
3 | ST Clarke (35*) off Mohammad Nazir | WI v Pak | Faisalabad | 1980-81 |
3 | WJ Cronje (82) off M Muralitharan | SA v SL | Centurion | 1997-98 |
3 | NJ Astle (222) off A Caddick | NZ v Eng | Christchurch | 2001-02 |
Harbhajan Singh just escaped the dubious distinction of recording the worst ever bowling figures for India during Pakistan's onslaught. By going wicketless after conceding 176 runs, Harbhajan Singh is now placed at third place in the following list.
