Harry Brook has made yet more history for England, striking another stunning century against Pakistan to help earn his side a crucial first innings lead and break a 38-year-old record held by the legendary David Gower.
Brook has scored three consecutive hundreds in three Tests and has now made a total of 468 runs in the series, breaking Gower's 1984 record for the most runs scored by an Englishman in a single Test series in Pakistan. Brook came to the crease after Ollie Pope was bowled for a well-made 51 by an excellent ball from Abrar Ahmed and, with England 98-4, he and Stokes had a crucial role to play to overturn a 206-run deficit.
And with the pair in the midst of a burgeoning partnership, Brook was involved in an awful mix-up with his skipper after lunch when he began to run a third, only to change his mind and turn back after Stokes had started charging down the wicket.
