All the records broken in extraordinary England innings
4. Root’s highest Test score
More history for Root, who went past his previous high score of 254 – also against Pakistan, in 2016 – with a remarkable 262 from 374 balls.
5. Root first England player to reach 20,000 international runs (all formats)
Root becomes the 13th member of this prestigious club, while the next most runs for England in all formats is Cook, who lags behind with 15,737.
6. England’s highest-ever Test partnership
Most remarkably, Root and Brook went past the 411-run partnership set by Peter May and Colin Cowdrey in 1957, which came from 1,140 balls. In contrast, the 454-run stand from the two Yorkshiremen came from just 522 balls. It is the fourth-highest partnership for any wicket in Test history.
