Lara might be a little worried.... Just a little

[Arthur Crabtree]

They have one of the great records in English Test cricket within reach. May and Cowdrey's record stand of 411 v WI in 1957. Currently 386.

Woo-hoo!

[Arthur Crabtree]

700 up. World highest Test score is in danger (952).

Root misses the easiest ball of the game, out for 262.... tired shot that, hes been on the field all but 5 balls Pope batted all test, go grab a Sprite and a nap Joe!!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Honest Joe is dismissed on the tenth hour of his knock.

Stand is 454.

[sussexpob]

Brook approaching 300 now. Is Gooch the last man v India to do it?

Great partnership of 454 runs between Joe and Harry after fielding for 126.3 overs in this heat.

Sehwag had smashed 309 at this very ground. Harry Brook might break that record today.

After Bangladesh beat Pakistan, and this massive humiliation underway, i feel this will be the end of captaincy of Shan Masood. Has flopped as a test batsman and as a captain as well.

[sussexpob]

10 runs to go... come on Harry

[meninblue]

I wish England breaks SL record of 952 versus India which was at Colombo.

Test team record and individual record are both currently in play....

[sussexpob]

There it is..... Harry Brook, take a frigging bow son.... what a knock

[sussexpob]

97 to go....

[sussexpob]

Might be the team record gone. Smith has come out T20 style, and skied one to the fielder.

[sussexpob]

Just a hint of the odd ball keeping a little low creeping in. I guess England's tactic will be to splatter Pakistan into a jibbering wreck, and hope smashing 900 will remove all their will to resist.

Harry goes past Sehwag's 309 at Multan which came against Shoaib, Sami and Saqlain that too at a very impressive strike rate of 80 before 20 years. Just checked, he has test average of 49 that too a sr of 82 in that time Going with the latest trends of keeping names for such aggressive batting, thinking of some name for his style of play decades back - Sehwag-ball? Whack-ball?

What an innings by Harry after fielding for 126.3 overs in 30+ degrees. Amazing fitness. Alaistair Cook had it, Joe has ever lasting innings fitness and now new genx batsman Harry shows how to score big innings. His first test series against Pakistan was superb in itself scoring 468 runs in 5 innings. here he is looking to score all of that in one innings Has taken the linking towards Pakistan grounds further.

313 in 316 balls . Now hope he helps score 952

Looking forward to Harry go past 400 and Chris Woakes score 50+, few decent partnerships from others and total of 952+
