The last and the only other time when multiple England batters scored individual double centuries in the same Test innings was back in 1985 at Chennai, where Graeme Fowler scored 201 and Mike Gatting scored 207 runs against India. (Image Credits: ICC

After his double ton, Joe Root became the first visiting batter in Asia to score a double hundred in each of India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. (Image Credits: X/ @englandcricket)

Root and Brook, with their respective 250-plus scores, also marked only the third instance where multiple batters went past the 250-plus runs mark individually in the same Test innings. (Image Credits: X/ @englandcricket)

The other two instances featured Conrad Hunte (260) and Garry Sobers (365) against Pakistan in 1958, as well as Mahela Jayawardene (374) and Kumar Sangakkara (287) against South Africa in 2006. (Image Credits: X/ @englandcricket)
