Harry Brook, the future of England cricket once again proved why he is hailed as one of the best in the business in the game's longest format. He became just the sixth England batter to slam a triple century in Test cricket.

Brook has 6 Test centuries to his name, and interestingly, four of them have come against Pakistan, showcasing his love for the Pakistan bowling attack. In his last 4 Test innings against them, he has four hundreds, and has now crossed the unthinkable - the 300-run mark.

Apart from Brook, the other triple centurions for England are Leonard Hutton, Wally Hammond, Graham Gooch, Andrew Sandham, and John Edrich. Brook has an average of more than 100 against Pakistan in Tests, and the Asian side are yet to decode on how to dismiss the tormenting English batter.

This was also the fastest triple century scored by an English batter, as Brook shatters multiple records during his marathon knock. He also became the second fastest batter (in terms of balls) after Virender Sehwag to score a triple ton.

England have a lead of more than 230 at the moment, and are etching towards the 800-run mark as Brook attacks the Pakistan attack with ease. With just 1.5 days left in Multan Test, England will look to bat for another one hour, play quickly and declare the innings.

Remember, England need to win all their remaining 6 games to have a chance of qualifying for the WTC finale.
