Some runs being scored and records set in the Pakistan ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฐ v ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ England 1st Test ๐Ÿ

Englandโ€™s first innings score of 823-7 dec. is their 3rd highest of all time, the 4th highest in Test cricket history.

They become the first team to post a total of 800-plus this century.

Root, with a career best 262, passes Alastair Cook to become Englandโ€™s leading Test run scorer.

Root and Brook break the record for England’s highest ever partnership with a partnership of 454.

Brookโ€™s score of 317 is the 5th highest for England.

And probably more โ€ฆ

Quite a warm walk up to the Acropolis of Lindos this afternoon ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

A couple is standing next to a stone wall overlooking a scenic coastal view. The woman is holding a round bag and wearing a patterned top and shorts, while the man is wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a striped shirt. Ancient ruins with tall stone columns and a partially standing wall under a clear blue sky. A person stands next to a small tree amidst rocky terrain. Ancient Greek ruins with tall columns and stone steps under a clear blue sky. Two people are sitting on the steps, and a few figures are visible on a higher level in the background.
