England captain Ollie Pope lauded Joe Root and Harry Brook, who both hit their career best scores and were involved in a record-breaking 454-run partnership as England put up a mammoth 823 for 7 in their first inning. England's runs had come at a strike rate of 5.48 runs to the over—that was good enough for handing enough lead but good enough to give the bowlers adequate enough time to push through to a win. "I think the pace at which they batted is crucial for that and you kinda need that on these flat pitches as we saw last time around at Pakistan," Pope told Sky Sports. "They play such different games but they both score at a pretty good rate. Obviously, the way Brooky uses power and then Rooty has kinda got a cushion on his bat so he just sticks with twos. But I think going in last night, they [Pakistan] would have been knackered from chasing the ball around and the way they played was just phenomenal."

The foundation of the victory was cemented by the pair of Joe Root and Harry Brook; both batters shared a huge partnership of 454 runs. Joe Root scored a stunning double century and Brook bagged the triple century, and both batters helped England post 823 runs in their first inning of the first test match against Pakistan in Multan. Skipper Ollie Pope was one of the batters who missed out on the batting track of Multan, as he was promoted up the order because of the injury to their opener, Ben Duckett. Pope opened the inning but turned without scoring much runs.
