Openers of both Pakistan and England have created history in the opening Test of the three-match series being played in Rawalpindi.

The high-scoring Test match already has seven centurions in just three days on a flat pitch of Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Interestingly, both England openers – Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett – and Pakistan batters – Imam ul Haq and Abdulah Shafique – have all scored tons each, which is the first time in Test cricket history.

English openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett had also scored hundreds in the first innings. Crawley scored 122, while Duckett was dismissed after scoring 107.

Moreover, Imam and Shafique also broke the record for the highest opening stand for Pakistan in Test cricket with their 225-run partnership versus England.

Imam-ul-Haq scored 121 and Abdullah Shafique 114 in the record-breaking partnership.

The record was previously held by Mohsin Hassan and Shoaib Muhammad for their 173-run opening partnership against England in 1984.
