England's Harry Brook made history by scoring his maiden triple century in the first Test against Pakistan in Multan, achieving the second-fastest triple century in Test cricket with 310 balls, only behind India's Virender Sehwag. Brook's innings, featuring 28 fours and three sixes, culminated in a remarkable 454-run partnership with Joe Root, marking the highest-ever partnership for England in Test cricket. This partnership surpassed the previous record against Pakistan, set by Conrad Hunte and Garry Sobers in 1958. Brook's triple century is the first by an English player since Graham Gooch's in 1990, and his innings helped England take a first innings lead of 225 runs over Pakistan's 556. Joe Root also achieved a milestone, surpassing Alastair Cook as England's top Test run-scorer and reaching 20,000 international runs, with his own double century of 262. These performances by Brook and Root have been pivotal in England's dominant position in the Test match.
