Wanted To Bat As Long As Possible, Says Brook On Record Stand With Root
Multan Cricket Stadium: Harry Brook, whose sensational 317 played one of the main roles in England thrashing Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs at the Multan Cricket Stadium, said his mindset during a record 454-stand with Joe Root was to just bat as long as possible.
Root and Brook's mammoth partnership of 454 is the highest for England in Test cricket, beating the 411-run stand between Peter May and Colin Cowdrey against West Indies in 1957. The record stand propelled England to declare at 823/7, which was followed by the visitors’ bowling out Pakistan for 220 on day five to complete an astonishing win.
"I enjoyed it a lot. It was tough out there with the heat, but it was good to be out there with Rooty, putting on that partnership. We just wanted to bat as long as possible and get as many runs as we could. It was a good surface to cash in on - and hopefully many more to come," said Brook after getting Player of the Match award.
