Harry Brook's triple century and Joe Root's Test-best 262 turned England's latest Bazball bravado into a Yorkshire boy-band album: Tyke That's Greatest Hits.
On another day of faintly ludicrous record-breaking in Multan, the Yorkies ran riot again in the first Test.
Then England's bowlers, capitalising on shellshocked Pakistan's woeful display in the field, reduced the hosts to 59-5 before a mini-recovery left them on 152-6 at stumps on the fourth day, still trailing by 115.
Chris Woakes led the victory charge by uprooting Abdullah Shafique's off stump with the first ball, on a strip where only 17 wickets had fallen for a combined 1,379 runs until that point.
But amid records galore, Brook's monster effort was special.
Only six times in England's Test history has a batsman reached 300, so lap it up.
