England is on the brink of a monumental cricket victory, as Harry Brook's explosive triple-century and Joe Root's career-best 262 spearheaded the team's first innings declaration at 823-7 against Pakistan in the opening Test on Thursday.

Despite Pakistan posting a formidable 556 in their first innings, they faltered to 152-6 by stumps on Day 4, trailing by 115 runs to avert an innings defeat. Brook and Root's record-breaking partnership of 454 runs dominated the game's narrative, carrying England to a colossal 703-4.

Pakistan's batting lineup buckled under the pressure from England's bowlers, with Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse each claiming two wickets after Chris Woakes struck early. Despite chances missed, including a dropped catch by Shoaib Bashir, England remains in commanding position.
