Has anyone declared on the 1st day of a test match?

According to google it's happened before. The highest runs scored on day 1 of a test was 494 in 1910 for Australia against South Africa. So we'll see what happens in that regard.
A/ Is the pitch an utter batting paradise?
B/ Are the bowlers having an awful day?
C/ Is everything coming off for the batsmen in a way that is just freakish?
D/ A bit of all of the above?
I'm at work and so not watching it.

I’ve never seen a quicker run rate in a test.
Poor bowling and an appetite to score quickly.
Is test cricket becoming exciting again

Jeez, this is a run fest. If I was in the field...I'd been feigning injury and be off the field!

What are the odds on Stokes having a shot for the fastest test century in the morning now that Brooks has just missed it.

The fastest a test team has ever reached 500 apparently. Imagine if they declare and Root and Stokes are the only people who have batted, and NOT reached 100

Not sure theres enough pressure for Stokes to be breaking records lol
In seriousness hes about a 7/4 shot to make a hundred, it will be quick if he gets there especially with a new nut in the morning

506 in 74 overs...nearly 7 per over in a Test match.

Everyones astounded that 500 in a day was even possible, they may have got 600 if they got all 90 overs lol

BBC headline: Rampant Pakistan take 4 wickets on opening day!
Ok, maybe not this time!

Lucky for Pakistan that they went off 15 overs early due to bad light, otherwise they might have declared and had a few overs at the opposition at the death.

This is only day 1! England to bat all day tomorrow and declare when they get to 1000. Then 3 days to get 20 Pakistani wickets

Pakistan scoring at only 3 an over, are we regressing to the days of Boycott and Tavare

Think England could do with Livingstone and Stokes in tandem to start tomorrow. Could do with a breakthrough
