NEW DELHI: Rawalpindi‘s follow-up has been in the news for all the wrong reasons since the last five days. England and Pakistan have amassed numerous runs on a lifeless racket, including a record of 506 runs on the first day of the Away Test with four hitters scoring in the century. .
But it all ended well as the match, which saw a whopping 1768 runs scored in five days, made its way into the record books by becoming the highest-scoring Test from so far to produce results.
The highest-scoring test ever (1981 runs) ended with a tame draw played between South Africa and England in 1939, followed by West Indies-British (1815 runs) ) in 1930.
England took a spectacular 74-match win over Pakistan to take a 1–0 lead in a three-game series. The visitors robbed 657 in their first leg and claimed their second at 264-7, setting an unlikely Pakistan victory target of 343 on the docile track in Rawalpindi.
On the same court in March of this year, about 1,187 runs were scored having lost only 14 catches as Pakistan and Australia had a tame draw.
Rawalpindi is called “below average” by International Cricket Council match referee Ranjan Madugalle, who also gave a minus.
A location is banned for 12 months if five demerit points are accumulated over a five-year period.
