England batters broke a 112-year-old record on the first day of the first test match against Pakistan, racking up 506 runs for a loss of four wickets at Rawalpindi’s cricket stadium in 75 overs, when play was called off due to bad light.
Playing its first test match on Pakistani soil in 17 years, English batters took advantage of the flat pitch after captain Ben Stokes won the toss and had no hesitation in electing to bat.
