[WATCH]- Harry Brook Celebrates His First Double Century With Joe Root In The 2024 PAK vs ENG Test

England‘s rising star Harry Brook maintained his impressive form during the ongoing first Test in Multan on Day 4 (Thursday, October 10). The right-handed batsman reached his maiden double century off 245 balls, featuring one six and 18 boundaries.
