All over! Record innings total for any team in the 21st century, Brook the first English treble-centurion since Gooch in 1990 and the first on foreign soil in over ninety-one years (Wally Hammond in Auckland, 1933). Of 102 occasions when a team have batted first in a Test in Asia and scored 500+, Pakistan are the first to go on and lose. Not a bad old way to kick off the tour!
Carse bowled well and deserved better returns for his effort. Credit to Aamer Jamal though, he got a few nasty knocks off Carse but stuck it out, and even took on some of the short balls for his 55*.
