Cricket World's Player of the Week - Harry Brook, England

England's bowlers, led by spinner Jack Leach, tore through Pakistan to secure victory in the first Test in Multan on Friday after a record partnership between Harry Brook and Joe Root turned the match on its head.

Brook smashed 317 and Root a record-setting 262 in England's mammoth 823-7 declared, giving the visitors a 267-run lead.

Brook and Root enjoyed a run-feast with career-best knocks.

Brook completed his triple century with a boundary off part-timer Ayub, reaching the mark off 310 balls before he top-edged a sweep off the same bowler and was caught by Masood.

ngland resumed on 492-3 in the morning and looked for quick runs, which Root and Brook provided despite Pakistan's defensive leg-side bowling, adding 166 runs in 29 overs in the session.

Brook's previous best was 186, scored against New Zealand at Wellington last year.
