RAWALPINDI – England have broken a 112-year-old record for most runs scored on day one of a Test they started furiously against Pakistan in Rawalpindi after scoring 506-4 in 75 overs.
Zak Crawley slammed 122 and Ben Duckett scored 107 before getting bowled by Haris Rauf and Zahid Mehmood, respectively. Harry Brook and Pope also smashed centuries on the opening day.
Pakistan's Zahid Mehmood took two wickets, while Haris Rauf and Muhammad Ali grabbed one wicket each.
The guests, who got hit by a virus, played at a brisk rate and took the attack to the hosts’ bowling side from the first over of the innings, which ended with young blood Naseem Shah conceding 14 runs.
Stokes led squad runs riot by making 103 in the first 14 overs of this innings, it was said to the highest total at this stage of the first innings of a Test match.
