HARRY BROOK scored England’s first triple century since 1990 on a record-breaking fourth day against Pakistan today, with the tourists smashing 823 before embarking on a stirring victory push in the first Test.

England’s “Bazball” bravado ran wild in Multan as they piled up the fourth-highest total ever seen in Test cricket, declaring seven down after Brook and Joe Root made history with a partnership of 454 runs.

Brook finished with a staggering 317 from 322 balls, terrain not seen since Graham Gooch’s 333 against India 34 years ago, and Root celebrated overtaking Sir Alastair Cook as the country’s leading run-scorer on Wednesday with a career-best 262.
