Joe Root broke Alastair Cook's Test runs record on the third day of the opening Test against Pakistan in Multan on Wednesday, as he helped guide England to 232-2 at lunch.

The 33-year-old became England's highest run scorer in Tests, and the fifth highest of all time, when he drove Pakistan seamer Aamer Jamal for a straight boundary to reach 71.

At the interval, Root was unbeaten on 72 having faced 118 deliveries while Ben Duckett was on a rapid 80 off just 67 balls.
