The 37-year-old Younis overhauled the record in his 102nd match, taking 22 fewer than Miandad to set the mark.
Younis needed 19 runs to surpass Miandad, doing so with a six over midwicket off the bowling of Moeen Ali. The blow was greeted with cheers from the few Pakistan fans in the sparse crowd and a standing ovation from the Pakistan dressing room.
Younis was eventually dismissed by Stuart Broad as he hit one straight to Alastair Cook for 38. ÂÂ
