Pak vs Eng: Pakistan lost against England in a humiliating fashion on Friday and in the process registered an unwanted World Record. It's the first time in Test history that a team has lost by an innings after scoring 500-plus in the first innings. The Shan Masood-led Pakistan side lost the Multan Test against England by an innings and 47 runs. With the loss, Pakistan has extended their losing streak to six. This also happens to be their seventh loss at home in the last nine Tests. On day four and five, the English bowlers were spot on with their line and lengths on a pitch that didn't offer much to the bowlers at all.

It was a Test match to remember for a number of reasons. 

Harry Brook became the first England batter in 34 years to hit a triple-century in Tests, as his record-breaking partnership with Joe Root put the visitors on the cusp of a big win over Pakistan on Day Four.

BROOK'S HEROICS

Brook smashed a remarkable 317 and shared a partnership of 454 with Root, who made 262, as England declared their innings at a whopping 823/7, the fourth-highest team total in Tests. Brook and Root also became the first England duo to have two 200-run stands together and the ninth pair from any country to achieve such a feat.

The 454-run partnership between Brook and Root is now the fourth-highest of all-time in Test cricket, as well as the highest-ever partnership in the longer format for England.

On the final day of the game, England needed merely four wickets to win the game. Jack Leach came up with the goods with the ball as he ended up with four wickets.
