Led by centuries from Harry Brook and Joe Root, the English batsmen piled on the runs to declare at a mammoth 823\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harry Brook, in particular, stole the show with a brilliant triple century. His innings, which included 317 runs from 322 balls, was the second-fastest triple ton in Test history. Brook&#8217;s knock was overshadowed only by Virender Sehwag&#8217;s record-breaking innings against South Africa in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joe Root, not to be outdone, also scored a double century. His partnership with Brook was worth a staggering 454 runs, the fourth-highest partnership in Test cricket history. The duo&#8217;s dominance was only broken when Root was dismissed by Agha Salman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>England&#8217;s declaration left Pakistan with a daunting task of chasing down 268 runs to win the Test. The hosts will need a strong performance from their batsmen to avoid a heavy defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England continued their dominance over Pakistan in the opening Test, setting a new record for the highest Test score by an English team.
