On a highway-like flat Multan surface, Harry Brook smashed his fourth Test hundred in Pakistan to go past the tallies of cricketing greats like Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis on Wednesday, October 9.

On Day 3 of the first Test between England and Pakistan, after Joe Root created a couple of records, his batting partner fourth wicket Harry Brook also created a record of his own.

With his fourth Test hundred in Pakistan, the 25-year-old equalled the record for most Test hundreds by a visiting batter in the country. India's Mohinder Amarnath hit four hundreds in 11 Test matches in Pakistan, while Aravinda de Silva scored as many hundreds in 10 Test matches.

However, the England batter reached the landmark and equalled their tally in just his sixth Test innings (4 matches) in Pakistan. Brook scored 153, 87, 9, 109 and 111 in his first five Test innings in Pakistan. The latest hundred - his sixth in 31 Test innings - came off just 118 balls.

Dravid, Kallis, Border, Samaraweera and Sangakkara have three hundreds each to their names in six, five, nine, three and five and five Test matches respectively.
