Setting a new milestone in his career, opener Imam-ul-Haq completed 1,000 runs in Test cricket during the first innings of the ongoing series of Pakistan against England on Friday.

Imam was playing the 17th Test match of his cricket career when he achieved the honour. Bowled by Will Jacks in the 18th over, Imam hit a shot to reach a total of 1,000 runs.

Featured in 54 ODIs and two T20Is for Pakistan over the course of his career, the left-hander has two centuries and four fifties in the Test format.

Earlier, during the Pak vs Eng match, England finished the innings at a commendable score of 657. The team added 151 runs, resuming at 506-4, in the extended two-and-a-half-hour session.

Four of England’s top five batsmen smashed rapid hundreds against Pakistan in a record-breaking batting performance.

It is the first time in test cricket that 500 runs have been scored on the first day, with England in a dazzling form on their first test tour of Pakistan since 2005.

Skipper Ben Stokes (41), debutant Liam Livingstone (nine) and Brook were all dismissed by pacer Naseem Shah, who finished with 3-140.

Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood conceded 235 for his four wickets — the most by a bowler on a Test debut.

Previously, Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randiv conceded 222 against India in Colombo in 2010.

England´s total is their highest against Pakistan in all Tests, improving on their 589-9 at Manchester in 2016.

On Thursday England became the first team to score 500 runs on the opening day of a Test match, bettering Australia´s 112-year-old record of 494-6 against South Africa in Sydney.

Zak Crawley (122), Ollie Pope (108) and Ben Duckett (107) were the other centurions in the innings.

The three-match Test series is England’s first in Pakistan for 17 years.

The cricket boards of Pakistan and Bangladesh have resolved to eliminate ODIs from their forthcoming bilateral series.

Sources indicate that the two teams, set to compete in May, will not engage in any One Day Internationals. In light of the forthcoming T20 World Cup, the boards have collaboratively decided to substitute ODIs with T20 matches.

According to the initial itinerary, Bangladesh was scheduled to compete in three ODIs and three T20Is in Pakistan. The updated schedule now comprises five T20I matches.

Sources have said that Pakistan would visit Bangladesh outside the planned itinerary to compete in a T20I series, with a three-match T20I series anticipated in July.
