Only way you can win this is with scoreboard pressure, the pitch is an absolute road

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Multan always has been. Got to pile on a huge total and then see if they crack. Never going to be time for four innings in this one.

 

[Carrotdude]

Just keep going and aim for all the records imo!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Sri Lanka scored 952-6 once
The record stand for a wicket is 624 (i think) (Jayawardene and Sangakarra)
Record 4th wicket partnership is 450
Individual highest score is 400* by a certain Mr Lara
England highest score is 364 by Len Hutton, in an innings where England compiled their highest total of 903-7

Some of those are miles out of reach if you want to try and get a result.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Record England single wicket stand in the bag

 

[BillyDee]

Only one maiden over this innings...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bowling figures so far

Shaheen 26-1-1-120
Naseem 26-0-1-121
Abrar 35-0-0-174
Aamer 23-0-1-111
Salman 16-0-0-97
Ayub 5-0-0-36
Shakeel 2-0-0-14

Going to be five bowler centurions in one innings.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

250 for Harry Brook. This is brutal.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

700 up and I think that 451 is the highest 4th wicket stand in test history, beating Marsh and Voges 450 for Convict CC.

 

[Johnny75]

Root gone.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

BOOOOOOOOO

Brook will have to beat the Hutton score then

 

[Johnny75]

Brook goes past Joe Root's highest test score.

He's pretty talented this lad.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

63 average and its over 19 matches so hardly a small sample freak

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Highest innings score in Pakistan in the bag. Records tumbling everywhere

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Brook gets to 300 with a boundary, to the surprise of nobody.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

As an aside, the last time an England player got to 300, the tv missed it, because Grandstand had to go to a bloody horse race.

 

[Johnny75]

Brook gone

What an innings

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely mesmerising. Might as well stick them in in around 20 minutes.

 

[Wolftone]

317 incredible

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmmm - might not need to think about a declaration. Let the tail fling a bat at it until we are out?
