In short:

Harry Brook has scored 317 and Joe Root 262 runs as England notches 7-823, its biggest innings since 1938.

Off 310 balls, Brook's was the second-fastest triple ton of all time in 310 balls and became the sixth Englishman to achieve the milestone.

What's next?

Pakistan will start day five still trailing by 115 runs and with just six wickets in hand.

England has notched its highest total in 86 years thanks to Harry Brook's triple century and Joe Root's double, declaring on 7-823 before Pakistan collapsed to a perilous position on the fourth day of the first Test.

Pakistan's top order failed to get going in the second innings and the hosts ended day four on 6-152, trailing England by 115 runs as the tourists set themselves up for a famous win after a Herculean batting effort.

"There's very much a chance of a result in this game. We've got still got a lot of hard work to do but off the back of the way that we've played so far in this Test match, we've got a real opportunity tomorrow if we get things right," Root said.

Pakistan's Salman Agha (40) and Aamer Jamal (27) were at the crease at stumps, with England in the driver's seat heading into the final day in Multan.

Resuming on 3-492 after Root became England's greatest Test run-scorer on day three, England went past Pakistan's 556 to build a handy first-innings lead of 267 runs thanks to Brook's 317 after Root's 262 as they ground the tired hosts to dust on another hot day.

It was the highest score of either batter's career as they mounted a 454-run-partnership — the fourth-highest in Tests — on the flat track at the Multan Cricket Stadium while also the highest partnership in England's Test history.

"The way Harry's played, how quickly he was able to score once he got past 200, has put us in such a strong position so it was great fun out there," Root said.

"We're dealing with conditions that are still alien to us, we don't play in heat like this very often, there are different skills that you need to manage — like reverse swing — slightly different balance to what you get back in the UK."

Root eventually departed LBW during the second session to one that kept low from Agha, but Brook moved through the gears to score the second-fastest triple ton of all time in 310 balls and became the sixth Englishman to achieve the milestone.

He is also England's first triple centurion in 34 years. Six bowlers conceded more than 100 runs for only the second time in Test history.

The record-breaking partnership also marked only the third time two players scored more than 250 in a Test innings.

Brook's marathon innings finally ended when a miscued sweep off Ayub went straight to Masood.

Despite sitting on a whopping 6-797 at that point, England added 26 more runs before declaring just six overs before tea.

The plan worked a treat as Chris Woakes, having loosened up with an innings of 17 off 16, steamed in and took a wicket off the first ball as a fatigued Abdullah Shafique, who had been on the field for 150 overs, played a tired shot as the fast bowler rattled his off stump.

Gus Atkinson then got in on the act with the wickets of skipper Shan Masood and Babar Azam, whose poor form continued with the batsman not having scored a fifty in nine Tests.

Brydon Carse also dismissed Saim Ayub with his first ball when the set batter played a poor shot for a catch before the debutant cleaned up Mohammad Rizwan with a delivery that nipped back in to leave Pakistan reeling at 5-59.

Saud Shakeel was caught behind off Jack Leach before Agha and Jamal stitched together an unbeaten 70-run stand.
