England go into the fourth day of the first Test match between Pakistan and England at the Multan Cricket Stadium in a strong position after reaching 492-3 in reply to the total of 556. Joe Root continues his record-breaking innings, needing another seven runs to reach 20,000 international runs across all formats. This makes him the first Englishman to reach this number and the 13th overall.

Root and Harry Brook will resume their partnership of 244, already a 4th wicket record for England against Pakistan, which if he reaches 323 will overtake the record 4th wicket partnership for matches between these nations, set in 1992 in Birmingham by Saleem Malik and Javed Miandad.
