    Root, Brook record highest-ever Test partnership for England (any wicket)

    What's the story

    England are on the cusp of beating Pakistan in the ongoing 1st Test in Multan.

    The hosts were reeling at 152/6 at stumps on Day 4 as they trail by 116 runs.

    Earlier in the day, England declared at a mammoth 823/7, setting multiple records.

    Joe Root and Harry Brook added 454 runs, now the highest partnership (any wicket) for England in Test cricket.

    Innings

    Root, Brook enter record books as a pair

    England resumed the innings at their overnight score of 492/3 (Day 4).

    Centurions Root and Brook continued to bat well as they added a jaw-dropping 454 runs as a pair.

    They went past Colin Cowdrey and Peter May, who held England's previous-highest parntership for any wicket in Test cricket (411 runs against West Indies, Birmingham, 1957).

    Brook

    Brook breaks records in Multan

    Brook departed for a brilliant 317 off 322 balls, becoming the sixth England batter with a triple-ton.

    He completed his triple-ton off just 310 balls, the second-fastest to this mark after India's Virender Sehwag (278).

    Meanwhile, Brook became the second batter after Australia's David Warner (335*) to register a triple-ton in WTC history.

    Mark Taylor and Sehwag are the only other visiting triple-centurions in Pakistan.

    Root

    A special double-century for Root

    Root scored 262 off 375 balls, notching up his highest score in Test cricket.

    He also became the first non-Asian batter to score a double hundred in each of India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. He now owns double-tons in five different nations.

    Only Kumar Sangakkara and Younis Khan are ahead in this regard, with six doube-hundreds apiece.

    Information

    A historic total for England

    England racked up 823/7d in 150 overs, their third-highest team total in Test history. Their 903/7 declared against Australia at The Oval in 1938 tops the list. England's 823 is also the fourth-highest score in Test cricket.
