After inflicting four sessions of carnage with the bat, England finally faced some resistance, as Pakistan fought back in the afternoon session here.

The morning had belonged to Harry Brook, whose 153 off 116 contained a record-breaking over in which he scored 27 runs — the most by any English player in history. It was an over that was matched in spirit, if not output, by his team-mates as England were bowled out before lunch, finishing on an almighty 657. Will Jacks, on debut, and Ollie Robinson contributed 30 and 37 apiece, as England’s innings closed with a flourish if not quite a bang.
