Harry Brook has etched his name in England’s cricket history, becoming the first Englishman in 34 years to score a triple century in Test cricket. The exceptional innings came during the first Test against Pakistan in Multan, where Brook scored an unbeaten 305 off just 310 balls on the fourth day of the match.
Brook’s remarkable knock makes him only the sixth English player to reach the 300-run milestone in Test cricket. The last Englishman to do so was Graham Gooch, who scored 333 against India at Lord’s in 1990.
