Rawalpindi, 1/12: Four of England’s top five batsmen smashed rapid hundreds in a record-breaking day of batting as the visitors racked up 506-4 on the opening day of the first test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
It is the first time in test cricket that 500 runs have been scored on the first day.
On a flat track and against a Pakistan attack that included three debutants, England’s batting looked like a continuation of their victorious campaign at the T20 World Cup in Australia
