Ben Stokes is leading an England team for the first time in 17 years and his side ensured that they made it a memorable occasion. England smashed 506/4 on the opening day of the Rawalpindi Test amid huge uproar in Pakistan about the road-like track in the match. There were several records broken on a day of Test cricket when we saw four batter smash centuries as Pakistani bowlers suffered in hands of the batters with only 4 wickets fallen on the day.
