CRICKET
Chankesh Rao | Oct 10, 2024, 08:57 PM IST
1.800-plus runs in an innings
England made history by becoming the first team to score over 800 runs in a single innings against Pakistan in Tests. The previous record was set by West Indies in 1958 with 790 runs for 3 wickets in Kingston.
This incredible feat also marks the highest total ever scored by any team in Pakistan. The previous record was set by Pakistan in 2009 with 765 runs for 6 wickets against Sri Lanka in Karachi.
2.Highest partnership for England in Test cricket
The partnership between Joe Root and Harry Brook has broken records for England in Test cricket. Their impressive 454-run stand surpasses the previous record of 411 runs set by Peter May and Colin Cowdrey back in 1957. This partnership is not only the highest for England but also the highest against Pakistan, beating the 446-run partnership by Conrad Hunte and Gary Sobers in 1958.
3.250-plus runs in the same Test innings
There have been three instances of two batters scoring 250-plus runs in the same Test innings. One of those instances was when Root and Brook did it in Multan. The first time it happened was in 1958 when Hunte and Sobers did it for West Indies against Pakistan. Then, in 2006, Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara pulled off the same feat against South Africa.
4.Multiple partnerships of 300-plus runs in Test cricket
Root and Brook made history as the first pair from England to have multiple partnerships of over 300 runs in Test cricket. Their highest partnership was 302 runs against New Zealand in Wellington last year, which was also for the fourth wicket. Prior to Root and Brook, only eight pairs had achieved two or more 300-plus run stands in Test cricket.
5.Fastest triple-century in Tests
Brook took 310 balls to complete his triple-century, making it the second-fastest in Test cricket history. The fastest was achieved by Virender Sehwag, who only took 278 balls to score a triple against South Africa in 2008. The previous fastest for England was by Wally Hammond, who did it in 355 balls against New Zealand in 1933.
6.Highest team total
England's total of 823 for 7 against Pakistan in Multan is the fourth highest by any team in Test cricket. England has scored three of the four 800-plus totals, with Sri Lanka's 952 for 6 against India in 1997 holding the record for the highest total.
7.Leading run-scorer for England in Test cricket
Root has scored 12,664 test runs, making him the top run-scorer for England in Test cricket, surpassing Alastair Cook's tally of 12,472. He now ranks fifth in the list of highest run-getters in Test cricket.
8.Double hundreds in Asia
Root has scored 3 double centuries in Asia, the most by any visiting batter in Tests. His previous two double tons in Asia were in Sri Lanka and India in 2021. He is only the third batter to achieve double centuries in India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, following Sehwag and Jayawardene.
