ENGLAND broke a ton of records in the Ashes yesterday as they racked up the runs at the Gabba.

The heroics of Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott were only enough to claim a draw in the first Test.

But it earned the duo a place in the history books on a day of drama.

Here are the records that fell at the Gabba:

Cook's 235 not out was the highest score at the Gabba - beating Don Bradman's 226 for Australia v South Africa in 1931.

His 625 minutes at the crease was also the longest innings of any Englishman in Australia.

The partnership of 329 between Cook and Trott broke two records.

It surpassed the previous highest second-wicket stand at the Gabba - 272 by Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting for Australia in the 2002-03 Ashes.

And it also beat the stadium record for any wicket - 307 between Brad Haddin and Michael Hussey in the first innings of this Test match.

Cook became just the fourth Englishman to score a double hundred against the Aussies Down Under.

The other players to have pulled off this feat are RE Foster, Wally Hammond and Paul Collingwood.

England's greatest partnership in Australia was surpassed as Cook and Trott dazzled at the crease.

The record previously belonged to Jack Hobbs and Wilfred Rhodes who put on 323 in 1912 as England regained the Ashes in style.

A world record also fell as England's 517 became the highest total for the loss of just one wicket.
