England's Harry Brook hit his maiden triple hundred on the fourth day of the opening Test against Pakistan in Multan Thursday.
The 25-year old clubbed a four off spinner Saim Ayub to become the sixth Englishman to score 300 or more in Test cricket, achieving the feat off 310 balls.
Andy Sandham of England was the first-ever batter to knock a triple century in Test cricket, scoring 325 against the West Indies at Kingston in 1930.
Other England batters to score a triple hundred were Len Hutton (364), Wally Hammond (336 not out), Graham Gooch (333 not out) and John Edrich (310 not out).
Brook has made rapid strides at the international level since making his debut in 2022.
He posted three centuries against Pakistan in only his second series which England won by 3-0 margin.
Brook's senior partner Joe Root was unlucky not to reach a maiden triple century as he was trapped leg-before by spinner Agha Salman soon after lunch.
England declared their first innings at a mammoth 823/7, a lead of 267 runs.
Brook eventually scored 317 with 29 boundaries and three sixes and Root made 262 with 17 fours as England piled on the fourth highest total in all Test cricket, their third best.
Part-time spinner Ayub finished with 2/101 and pacer Naseem Shah took 2/157.
Pakistan scored 556 in their first innings.
