Virender Sehwag’s 20-Year-Old Record Broken,

England batter Harry Brook slammed his maiden Test triple hundred on Day 4 of the ongoing 1st Test against Pakistan in Multan. Brook took just 310 balls to reach the mark, which made him only the sixth Englishman to hit a triple century in Test cricket. Brook got out on 317 while trying to up the ante, but his breathtaking batting allowed England to pile 823/7d and take a first innings lead of 267 runs. However, his knock, which was laced with 28 fours and three sixes, allowed him to break a two-decade-long record.Brook now holds the record of registering the highest individual Test score in Multan, surpassing former India batter Virender Sehwag’s 309 against the same opponents in 2004.His latest feat placed him in the list of legends like Andy Sandham, Len Hutton, Wally Hammond, Graham Gooch, and Bill Edrich, who also scored triple centuries for England.Brook joined Joe Root in the middle on Day 3 when England were comfortably placed at 249/3. Brook and Root put on 454 for the fourth wicket as England piled up the fourth-highest innings in Test cricket.Brook and Root enjoyed a run-feast on a flat Multan stadium pitch, both knocking career-best scores to give England a 267 lead over Pakistan’s first innings total of 556.
