  1. Eng 779-5

    If I had to guess, I'd say England will declare with half an hour to go before tea. If that's the case Harry Brook would have 45 minutes of batting - about eight or nine overs - to add to his total.

    Len Hutton's 364 is the record score by an England batter - Brian Lara's 400 the all-time high.

    Who knows? England might want to give him longer.

    Ben Stokes is one of the drinks carriers. He will be relaying some kind of message regarding declaration as well as congratulations to Harry Brook.

    But there's no movement from the England balcony yet.

    WICKET

    Smith c Jamal b Naseem 31 (Eng 779-5)

    Jamie Smith is caught this time.

    He charges Naseem Shah but skies a catch having an almighty swipe.

    Smith goes for 31 from 24 balls.

    Who is the closest person reading this to Brian Lara? I want to know if he's getting twitchy

    Brian Lara might be a touch nervous at the moment. This has been masterful from Harry Brook.

  7. Jonathan Agnew

    Most of the focus has been inevitably on Joe Root, but what a contribution this is from Harry Brook.

  8. 300 runs

    300 for Harry Brook

    Biffed down the ground! 302 from 310 balls for Harry Brook.

    He's the first man to score a Test triple century for England for 34 years and only the sixth ever.

  9. Eng 769-4

    Jamie Smith gives Harry Brook the strike...

  10. Eng 767-4

    Brook 298, Smith 27

    I'm running out of ways to tell you the ball has been smashed to the boundary. Jamie Smith is the latest to test my vocabulary.

    Is this the over for Harry Brook's 300?

  11. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    It was one like the Chris Woakes effort. Fair play, it was a very good effort that from the substitute Mohammad Huraira. But it rather sums up Pakistan's day.

  12. dropped catch

    Smith dropped on 20

    Jamie Smith is dropped for a second time.

    In fairness this is a decent effort with the sub fielder out at deep square leg failing to manage one of those catches where you through it back up to yourself after tumbling over the boundary.

    Lead by 203

    I'm trying not to just swamp you with stats but Harry Brook has now gone past Alastair Cook's 294 - the highest score by an England batter this century.

  15. Highest individual Test scores

    Brian LaraGetty Images

    We can stop looking at those partnership records now but the team totals and individual scores are still very much in play. Although, Harry Brook still has some way to go to match any of these...

    400* Brian Lara, West Indies v England, Antigua, 2004

    380 Matthew Hayden, Australia v Zimbabwe, Perth, 2003

    375 Brian Lara, West Indies v England, Antigua, 1994

    374 Mahela Jayawardene, Sri Lanka v South Africa, Colombo, 2006

    365* Garfield Sobers, West Indies v Pakistan, Jamaica, 1958

    Those were all made by home players, the highest Test score by a player away from home?

    337 Hanif Mohammad, West Indies v Pakistan, Barbados, 1958

  16. Eng 750-4

    Brook 291, Smith 17

    England have scored 92 runs in 11 overs since lunch.

    Their total is now the 11th highest of all time.

  17. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent

    Harry Brook has struck this absolutely beautifully. It's a perfect shot. Viv Richards would have been proud of that.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 748-4

    Fast bowler Naseem Shah is back and Harry Brook just munches him over extra cover for my favourite shot of the day.

    He's up to 290 now.

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Statistician on Test Match Special

    Harry Brook has now scored England's highest Test score against Pakistan. Denis Compton, who made 278 at Trent Bridge in 1954, has been booted out of the record books for this one.

    At the top is Len Hutton's 364 which is starting to look a little vulnerable.

    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    This is descending into a bit of a shambles for Pakistan who is making mistakes all over the place.
