On the fourth day of the first Test at the Multan Cricket Stadium in Multan on Thursday, Joe Root scored an outstanding double century and Harry Brook struck a breathtaking triple century, helping England secure their best total in 86 years.
Pakistan was in terrible shape as the fourth day at Multan wore on; they were down by 115 runs and finished the day with a second innings score of 152-6. If they can keep up their current pace, the tourists could win thanks to England’s impressive batting display.
“There’s very much a chance of a result in this game,” Root said. Although we still have a lot of work ahead of us, our performance in this Test thus far has encouraged us.
