There have been only two previous instances of both No. 8s batsman
reaching three figures: in Bridgetown in May 1955, Ray Lindwall scored
118 for Australia, and Clairmonte Depeiaza countered with 122 for West
Indies; and in Sheikhupura
in October 1996, Zimbabwe's Paul Strang made 106 not out, and Wasim
Akram replied for Pakistan with an unbeaten 257 - the highest score by
any No. 8 in Tests. New Zealand wicketkeeper batsman BJ Watling (103)
and Sohag Gazi for Bangladesh (101 not out) at
Chittagong Test in 2013.
