The innings saw Harry Brook get a triple hundred and Joe Root slam a career-best 262. Then they bowled out Pakistan for 222 on Day 5, who fell 47 runs short of forcing England to bat a second time.

Here are the records and numbers from England's hammering of Pakistan in the first Test match:

- The visitors became the first team to ever take a first innings lead of over 200 runs after conceding 550 in the first innings.

- Pakistan became the first team to lose a Test by an innings after posting over 500 runs in the first innings.

- England's 823/7d in the first innings also became the fourth-highest Test innings total of all time, and the highest in the 21st century. It is also the highest total by any team in Pakistan.

- Harry Brook smacked 317 runs, which is also the highest score by a batter away from home at no. 5 or below in Tests. Brook also got the second-fastest triple century in Tests, and he became the only batter to score centuries in all of his first four Tests in Pakistan.

- Joe Root became England's highest-ever run-scorer in Test cricket, overtaking Alastair Cook's 12472, and also became sixth in the men's Test century list (35).

- Joe Root and Harry Brook's 454-run partnership is the highest for England in Test cricket. It is also the highest in Tests vs Pakistan.

- In the entire 150-over innings, only one maiden was bowled, becoming the longest innings on record to have as few as one maidens bowled.
