For a MySQL query, how do you determine physical and logical I/O?

I'm used to having a showplan in Microsoft SQL and have gotten lazy with using tools to tune MySQL queries. How can I determine physical/logical I/O for a query in MySQL? (EXPLAIN shows the index selection but I want more information from the MySQL server, if possible).

I recommend using Percona Server, for the slow query log enhancements. I answered a similar thread to this on Stack Overflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3393206/what-is-the-equivalent-query-in-mysql/3443944#3443944

Take a look at this in particular (from http://www.percona.com/docs/wiki/percona-server:features:slow_extended?redirect=1#changes_to_the_log_format):
