Pakistan ground guide: Faisalabad
India provided the opposition when the Iqbal Stadium was inaugurated as a Test match ground in October 1978.
But its most famous moment came nine years later when Mike Gatting became involved in a heated row with umpire Shakoor Rana.
There was no play the next day after Rana demanded an apology from the England captain.
It looked like the tour might be over, but officials finally persuaded Gatting to say sorry.
FAISALABAD FACTS AND FIGURES (TESTS)
Pakistan have won six and lost five of the 22 Tests they have played in Faisalabad - their last victory, against Zimbabwe, was nine years ago.
All three Tests between Pakistan and England have been drawn - Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria made his debut in the game five years ago.
The highest Test score at the ground was 253 by Sanath Jayasuriya as Sri Lanka beat Pakistan by 201 runs in October last year.
There have been two England centuries in Faisalabad Tests - by David Gower and Chris Broad - and three by Pakistan batsmen against them.
England's Ashley Giles took 5-75 at Faisalabad on the 2000 tour but having been set 244 for victory, the tourists batted out 57 overs to make 125-5.

Faisalabad Cricket Test England vs Pakistan
 England hit by Pakistan run spreeNov 20, 2005
Shahid Afridi smashed 67 off 62 balls to give Pakistan the initiative on day one of the second Test against England.
He hit four big sixes to add 99 with captain Inzamam-ul-Haq (80) as the hosts closed in Faisalabad on 300-4.
Steve Harmison, Andrew Flintoff and Matthew Hoggard took a wicket apiece to leave Pakistan on 87-3 at lunch.
Mohammad Yousuf, who hit an attractive 78, then put on 128 with Inzamam before he was caught and bowled by Ian Bell, only for Afridi to cut loose.
Faisalabad, day one (stumps): Pakistan 300-4 v England
 England struggle on day of dramaNov 21, 2005
Pakistan's seam bowlers reduced England to 113-3 at stumps on day two, with Marcus Trescothick out for 48, as the hosts remained in charge in Faisalabad.
Andrew Strauss and Michael Vaughan were the others to fall with England still 349 behind, but Ian Bell is 36 not out.
On a frantic day, there was a 10-minute interruption when a gas canister exploded accidentally on the boundary.
Inzamam-ul-Haq had earlier top-scored with 109 in Pakistan's 462 before being run out in controversial fashion.
Leg-spinner Shahid Afridi will still be able to bowl for Pakistan despite being banned from the next Test for damaging the pitch.

 England aim to pressure PakistanNov 22, 2005
England will be hoping to extend their innings on day four of the second Test and put pressure on Pakistan.
The tourists finished Tuesday on 391-7 - 71 short of Pakistan's first-innings total - thanks to centuries from Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen.
Pietersen was even more confident, eyeing up the possibility of a dramatic victory.
In the final Test of the 2000 series, England trailed Pakistan by 17 runs after the first innings.
But they bowled the home side out for 158 on the last day before scoring the 176 required to clinch the series 2-1.
Faisalabad, day three (stumps): Pakistan 462 v England 391-7
 Inspired Flintoff revives EnglandNov 23, 2005
Andrew Flintoff took three wickets to boost England's hopes of bowling out Pakistan cheaply in the second Test.
Pakistan limped to stumps on 183-6, a lead of 199, with Inzamam-ul-Haq on 41, and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan yet to score.
Opener Salman Butt made 50 but fell in controversial circumstances and Flintoff removed Mohammad Yousuf and Shahid Afridi with successive balls.
Earlier, Steve Harmison and Shaun Udal put on 47 for the last wicket to take England to 446, just 16 runs behind.
Flintoff bowled 19 heroic overs in three spells, making an early breakthrough just after lunch when he tempted Shoaib Malik into a lofted drive to extra cover.
Faisalabad, day four (stumps): Pakistan 462 & 183-6 v England 446
 Defiant England hang on for drawNov 24, 2005
England survived a nightmarish batting collapse to secure a draw with Pakistan in the second Test in Faisalabad.
Ashley Giles and Geraint Jones shared an obdurate stand of 30 for the seventh wicket until bad light ended the day.
Chasing a notional 285 to win, England were 20-4 at one point before Kevin Pietersen (42) and Andrew Flintoff (56) put on 80 for the fifth wicket.
Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq had hit his second century of the match before declaring on 268-9.
The result leaves England 1-0 down with the final Test in Lahore next week, ending a run of six series victories stretching back to 2003.
