"Age is just a number" - Younis Khan added credence to the old adage as he equalled the record for most double hundreds by a Pakistan player to put his team in a commanding position in the ongoing fourth and final Test against England at The Oval. Younis's superb knock of 218 powered Pakistan to a massive total of 542 before the hosts, reeling under Yasir Shah's spell, ended day three at 88 for 4, still 126 runs away from making the visitors bat again.

Statistical highlights of day three of the fourth Test:

6 Double centuries for Younis Khan in Tests - the joint most for Pakistan along with Javed Miandad. He now has scored double hundreds against six different opposition, which is the joint-most for any player along with Kumar Sangakkara.
