England's Harry Brook blasts triple century against Pakistan
England's Harry Brook hit his maiden triple century on the fourth day of the opening Test against Pakistan in Multan on Thursday.
The 25-year-old clubbed a four off spinner Saim Ayub to become the sixth Englishman to score 300 or more in Test cricket, achieving the feat off 310 balls, with 28 fours and three sixes.
Andy Sandham of England was the first btasman to score a triple hundred in Test cricket, scoring 325 against the West Indies at Kingston in 1930.
Other Englishmen to score 300 are Len Hutton (364), Wally Hammond (336 not out), Graham Gooch (333 not out) and Bill Edrich (310 not out).
Brook has made rapid strides at the international level since making his debut in 2022. He knocked three centuries against Pakistan in 2022 -- in only his second series, which England won 3-0.
Brook's senior partner Joe Root was unlucky not to reach his maiden triple century as he was trapped leg-before by spinner Agha Salman for 262 soon after lunch.
England were 781-5, a lead of 225 over Pakistan's first innings total of 556.
