Harry Brook Scores Historic Triple Century in Test Cricket

England cricketer Harry Brook made headlines by scoring his first triple century at the age of 25 during the opening Test against Pakistan in Multan. Brook’s exceptional innings included 28 fours and three sixes, marking it as the second-fastest triple century in Test history, achieved in just 310 balls.

The record for the fastest triple century was set by India’s Virender Sehwag, who scored 300 runs against South Africa in 2008 in just 278 balls. Brook’s achievement also marks the first time an English cricketer has reached a triple century since Graham Gooch‘s 333 at Lord's in 1990.

Teaming up with fellow cricketer Joe Root, Brook’s innings was complemented by a record-breaking partnership. The duo set a new benchmark for England with their 454-run stand, which is now the highest partnership for England in Test cricket and also the largest against Pakistan, surpassing the previous record of 446 runs by West Indian players Conrad Hunte and Garry Sobers in 1958.

Joe Root also made a significant contribution by scoring his sixth double century during the same innings. This historic partnership on the flat pitch in Multan is now the fourth-highest in Test cricket history.

Harry Brook’s innings places him among the elite group of English players to have scored 300 or more runs in a single Test match, joining legends such as Len Hutton and Wally Hammond. The extraordinary feat highlights the young cricketer’s potential and underscores England’s strength in batting.
