Brook’s Triple hundred and Root’s Double: Records shattered in ENG-PAK Test | News


Joe Root and Harry Brook

Joe Root and Harry Brook stitched 454-run stand in Multan.

England’s Harry Brook made history by becoming the first English player to score a triple century in Test cricket since the turn of the 21st century. His remarkable innings took place during the first Test against Pakistan in Multan, where he, alongside compatriot Joe Root, dominated the Pakistan bowlers on a flat Multan pitch. Brook’s triple hundred is also the second-fastest 300 in Test cricket history, achieved in just 310 balls. The record for the fastest triple century belongs to Virender Sehwag, who scored 300 runs against South Africa in 2008, reaching the milestone in only 278 balls.


Fastest Test triple centuries, by balls faced:

 


  • 278 – Virender Sehwag vs SA, 2008

  • 310- Harry Brook vs Pak, 2024

  • 355 – Wally Hammond vs NZ, 1933

  • 362 – Matthew Hayden vs ZIM, 2003

  • 364 – Virender Sehwag vs PAK, 2004

Brook and Root took full advantage of the Multan pitch which had nothing for the bowlers throughout the day’s play and also stitched up a 454-run partnership in England’s innings. This is now the highest run-stand ever in test cricket away from home.


Highest 4th wicket partnerships in the history of Test cricket:


  • 454 Harry Brook/Joe Root v Pakistan in Multan on October 10, 2024

  • 449 Shaun Marsh/Adam Voges v West Indies in Hobart 2015

  • 437 Mahela Jayawardene/Thilan Samaraweera v Pakistan in Karachi 2009
