Four more to Stokes, and 500 in a day.
500 IN A DAY!
This is just absurd. Is it real life?

And then smashes one straight down the ground for four!
Ben Stokes has 26 from 12 balls.
What on EARTH is this?!

Never one to be outdone, Ben Stokes takes a step down the pitch and lofts the seamer over mid-off for four.
And holds the pose.
Class.

Remember when we thought England might not be able to play today because they're all too ill?

Former Pakistan pace bowler on TMSExceptional player. Brook has everything covered. Technically he is very sound.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialBrook becomes the fourth centurion on this crazy day.
We said he had a chance to make his mark on this pitch and he has done it in style.
100 for Harry Brookpublished at 73.5 overs
Eng 488-4
A maiden Test century in his second Test match.
Just brilliant. A faultless innings, an absolute masterclass.
And it's one of the best shots he's played to get there, too - a picture perfect cover drive straight out of the textbook.
England's fourth centurion on this crazy, crazy day.
Eng 480-4published at 73 overs
Ah, Harry Brook misses out on England's fastest Test century.
Poor effort, really.
But speaking of records, this is now the most runs that England have ever scored on the first day of a Test. Scenes.
Eng 478-4published at 72.1 overs
Image source, Getty ImagesA single to Brook takes him to 96 from 75, so he's one boundary away from equalling the record for England's fastest Test ton.

Yeah, remember when I said it's not about Ben Stokes?
He's just hit three consecutive fours.
Anyone got any good synonyms for 'ridiculous'?
Eng 465-4published at 71.3 overs
A single.
Boo.

But for once it's not really about Ben Stokes at the moment.
Two more to Brook takes him on to 94 from 73 balls.
Wouldn't put it past him to try and go there with six, to be honest.
Eng 462-4published at 71 overs
Brook 92, Stokes 0
Imagine finally breaking a 100 partnership, and then Ben Stokes comes in.

Pope lbw b Ali 108 (Eng 462-4)
Great review! Hitting leg stump, and a stunning innings from Ollie Pope comes to an end.
It's a first Test wicket for Mohammad Ali, who finally has something to smile about after a really tough day in the field. It's not been a bowler's day at all.
Pakistan reviewpublished at 70.5 overs
Ollie Pope is pinned in front.
And unsurprisingly, Pakistan send it upstairs. It's the only chance they've had for about two hours.
