The century scored by Harry Brook gives England the lead in the third test against Pakistan

After Pakistan had the visitors held down on the second day of the final match in Karachi on Sunday, Harry Brook maintained his extraordinary series by scoring his third century in as many Tests to rebuild England’s innings. The match was the final one and took place on Sunday. As a result of Harry Brook innings, England were able to take an incredible 50-run lead, but they were eventually bowled out for 354, and Pakistan was able to reduce their deficit to 29 by the time play was called off.

The first two batters for Pakistan, Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood, reached respective scores of 14 and 3 while the home team finished the day with a score of 21 without any losses.

The visitors were in a precarious position at 145-5 before to Harry Brook innings of 111, but it gave England a chance to become the first side ever to win a series in Pakistan by a score of 3-0 and become the champion.

Following victories in Rawalpindi by 74 runs and Multan by 26 runs in a close contest, England currently holds a 2-0 lead in the three-game series.

Brook and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes put up 117 runs for the sixth wicket to bring England within striking distance of Pakistan’s first innings total of 304. This came after Pakistan’s spinners had already eliminated the top order of the English batting lineup.

After scoring 153 and 108 runs respectively in the first and second Tests of his career, the 23-year-old Brook reached his third career hundred after driving the spinner Abrar Ahmed for his ninth boundary to reach the milestone.

In total, Brook hit nine fours and three sixes before being bowled leg before by rookie paceman Mohammad Wasim, who took his first wicket in a test match.

Now with 468 runs, Brook has surpassed David Gower’s previous record of 449 runs, which he set in 1984, to become the England batter with the greatest series total in Pakistan.

He also tied the record held by Mohammad Yousuf for scoring a century in each of three consecutive matches during an overseas series. While playing in England in 2006, the Pakistani batsman notched three hundreds.

After the first session of play, England was in a difficult position thanks to Pakistani spinners Nauman Ali and Abrar Ahmed. Both of them ended up with a total of 4-126 and 4-150 respectively.

Ben Stokes (26) made an effort at a third run shortly after lunch, but it was rejected by Brook, leaving England’s skipper stranded and the team in a difficult position with 145 runs all out.

After Brook was dismissed, Foakes and Mark Wood, who were in the eighth wicket position, scored another 51 runs. After that, Nauman got rid of Foakes, while Ahmed got rid of Wood and Ollie Robinson to bring the score to 29.

During the morning session, Nauman struck with consecutive deliveries to remove Ben Duckett and Joe Root from the game.
