Jaiswal reached the mark in just 16 innings, making him the joint second-fastest Indian to 1000 runs against England.

Over his 24-year career, Tendulkar played 32 Tests against the English team. Following him is Sunil Gavaskar, who accumulated 2,483 runs in 38 Tests against England.

Additionally, Jaiswal is the sixth batter to score 1,000 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) versus England. The others are Australia's Steve Smith (1391* runs), Marnus Labuschagne (1016), India's Shubman Gill (1199*), Rohit Sharma (1113), Rishabh Pant (1044*).

Jaiswal's stay in the middle was stopped short by Liam Dawson who dismissed him for 58 runs from 107 balls. On the first ball of the 41st over, the left-arm spinner eked an outside edge from Jaiswal's bat which was lapped up with ease by Harry Brook at first slip. It was Dawson's first wicket in Test cricket after more than eight years.
