Although umpire Joel Wilson gave a soft signal for out, television official Marais Erasmus over-ruled it. <br \/>Haq, who scored a century in each innings on the same pitch in a Test against Australia in March, pushed spinner Jack Leach for two to complete 1,000 runs in his 17th Test. <br \/>Shafique, who also scored a hundred against Australia in the March test, cracked two boundaries to reach his fifth half-century in his eighth Test, highlighting his rapid progress. <br \/>Haq followed suit soon after, taking a single off Joe Root for his fifth half-century. <br \/>Earlier, resuming at 506-4, England added 151 runs in 125 minutes, with Harry Brook taking his overnight score of 101 to 153 &#8212; one of four centurions in the innings. <br \/>Skipper <!-- -->Ben Stokes<!-- --> (41), debutant <!-- -->Liam Livingstone<!-- --> (nine), and Brook were all dismissed by pacer <!-- -->Naseem Shah<!-- -->, who finished with 3-140. <br \/>Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood conceded 235 for his four wickets &#8212; the most by a bowler on a Test debut. <br \/>Previously, Sri Lankan off-spinner Suraj Randiv conceded 222 against India in Colombo in 2010. <br \/>England&#8217;s total is their highest against Pakistan in all Tests, improving on their 589-9 at Manchester in 2016. <br \/>On Thursday England became the first team to score 500 runs on the opening day of a Test match, bettering Australia&#8217;s 112-year-old record of 494-6 against South Africa in Sydney. <br \/>Zak Crawley<!-- --> (122), Ollie Pope (108) and Ben Duckett (107) were the other centurions in the innings. <br \/>The three-match Test series is England&#8217;s first in Pakistan for 17 years, having declined to tour in the interim because of security fears. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ?
