A day when records broke left, right, centre

It was record-breaking left and right during day four of the first Test against Pakistan at Multan as batters Harry Brook and Joe Root starred with a 454-run partnership, breaking 67-year-old record for the highest partnership by an English pair.

In their first innings, England scored 823/7 declared in reply to Pakistan's first innings total of 556 runs, taking a 267-run lead on a batting paradise.

This is the fourth-highest total ever in the history of Test cricket, with 952/6 declared by Sri Lanka against India in 1997 at Colombo being the biggest Test total ever, in which Sanath Jayasuriya starred with 340-run knock. It is also the highest total by a visiting team in Pakistan surpassing 675/5d by India vs Pakistan in Multan in 2004.
