Cricket’s 2,553th test match won’t be forgotten in a hurry. England has set records and reached plenty of milestones in compiling an extraordinary 823-7 declared against Pakistan in Multan. It was the fourth time a team scored more than 800 runs — and the first time this century.

Harry Brook has scored England’s first triple century since 1990 on a record-breaking fourth day against Pakistan, with the tourists smashing 7-823 before embarking on a stirring victory push in the first Test.

Joe Root celebrated his record-breaking day with a resolute 35th century as England cruised to 492-3 on Day 3 of the first cricket test against Pakistan.
