Harry Brook Scores Historic 317 for England

Harry Brook scored a remarkable 317, becoming the first English player to achieve a triple century since 1990, while Joe Root contributed with a career-best 262, leading England to a monumental total of 823-7 declared, the fourth-highest in Test history. Their partnership of 454 for the fourth wicket surpassed the previous record of 411 set by Peter May and Colin Cowdrey in 1957. In response, Pakistan faltered dramatically, ending the fourth day at 152-6, still needing 115 runs to avoid an innings defeat. Chris Woakes took the first wicket with his very first delivery, and England's bowlers capitalized on Pakistan's poor batting performance. Brook's innings places him fifth on England's all-time list, as he and Root's efforts showcased England's aggressive 'Bazball' approach to the game. The match looks set for an English victory as Pakistan's batting line-up crumbled under pressure.
