Record of 8 centuries
So far only a maximum of 8 centuries have been scored in a test. In such a situation, if 2 more centuries are scored in the test of England and Pakistan, then a new world record will be created.

A total of 3 matches are to be held in the Test series between England and Pakistan. The England team is out of the race for the final of the World Test Championship. This series is important for Pakistan. Right now the Pak team is occupying the 5th position. And Australia’s team is on top.
