Harry Brook becomes the sixth English batter to score a triple century in Test cricket.

Joe Root scores 262 and England declare 823-7 declared on day four of five in Multan .

Pakistan trail by 115 runs after posting 556 in their first innings.

Never before has a team posted so many runs in first innings of a Test, then gone on to lose by an innings.

England take 10 wickets on a pitch like that and then put themselves in a position where we have a real chance to win the game tomorrow .

Pakistan captain Shan Masood was dropped twice, by Woakes off Gus Atkinson , then by Atkinson off Woakes , leaving Atkinson to find a leading edge that Zak Crawley pouched on the leg side.

The prospect of a four-day finish literally slipped through Englandâs fingers.
