These records were made in Multan

The Multan pitch proved to be a graveyard for Pakistani bowlers. England has scored 823 runs in the first innings. This is the fourth highest score in the history of Test cricket and the third highest score for England. Sri Lanka holds the record for scoring the most runs in an innings. He scored 957 runs against India in 1997. Apart from this, the England team has scored 903 runs in 1938 and 849 runs in 1930. Not only this, this is also England's highest score against Pakistan so far. Before this, in the year 2022, England had scored the maximum of 657 runs in an innings against Pakistan.

The partnership of Joe Root and Harry Brook played an important role in England's huge score. Together they made a partnership of 454 runs and broke the 67 year old record. In fact, this has become the biggest partnership in the history of England's cricket. Earlier this record was in the names of Peter May and Michael Cowdrey. Both had added 411 runs for the fourth wicket in 1957. Apart from this, this is also the biggest partnership of any country against Pakistan. In 1958, West Indies' Conrad Hunte and Gary Sobers added 446 runs against Pakistan in Kingston.

This happened for the third time in the test

The England team did not stop here in making records. This happened only for the third time during the Multan Test when in this format, two batsmen of a team scored more than 250 runs in the same innings. Brook played an innings of 317 runs, while Root scored 262 runs. Before this, this feat was achieved by Sri Lanka's Mahle Jayawardene (374 runs) and Kumar Sangakkara (287 runs) against South Africa in 2006. Apart from this, in 1958, Conrad Hunt (260) and Gary Sobers (365 runs) also did the same against Pakistan. That means this is happening for the second time against Pakistan in three such exploits.
