Harry Brook became only the sixth English player to score a Triple Century in international Test cricket on Thursday (October 10).

The stylish right-hander decimated hosts Pakistan with his scintillating batting. Earlier Joe Root scored 262 runs and thus became the highest scorer in Test cricket for England, surpassing Alastair Cook.

Harry Brook came into the crease in a tricky situation. The 25-year-old found his touch very early on a flat deck in Multan, scoring runs across the deck quite freely. Brook completed his maiden double hundred earlier in the day, and then kicked on further to score his maiden Triple hundred as well.
