England's cricket team achieved a historic victory over Pakistan in the first Test of the series in Multan, winning by an innings and 47 runs, marking their fourth consecutive Test win in Pakistan. Harry Brook's 317 and Joe Root's 262 propelled England to a record-breaking total of 823-7. James Anderson praised Brook as a potential future great, suggesting he could surpass the achievements of Root and Kevin Pietersen. Pakistan's defeat has left them at the bottom of the World Test Championship standings, while England's win boosts their chances. The match saw Pakistan set unwanted records, including becoming the team with the highest total to lose by an innings. The second Test will be held at the same venue, with England hopeful of Ben Stokes' return from injury.
