NZ vs ENG: "Best Emerging Player"- Twitter Reacts As Harry Brook Racks Up His Fourth Ton In His 6th Test

On the first day of the second and final Test against New Zealand, England took the lead thanks to a very outstanding 184 not out from the prolific Harry Brook. When rain hit Wellington, England piled up 315-3, with Joe Root scoring his maiden century in eight Tests.

When forced to bat on a green field at the Basin Reserve, the visitors were 21-3; Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Ollie Pope all made costly mistakes. Nonetheless, Brook batted with the grace, assurance, and assurance of a player who has already registered four hundreds in his first six Test matches.

Harry Brook Breaks Vinod Kambli’s Record

His 169-ball performance featured some exquisite strokes, bringing his overall number of Test runs to 807—the greatest after nine innings for any player in history. Although though Harry Brook had a terrific start to his Test career—this was his eighth score above 50—this was his finest performance because—in addition to being his highest score—the conditions, the nature of the game, and his complete control of the home attack made it so.

Although Vinod Kambli of India had previously set the record after nine innings with 798 runs, Harry Brook now has a chance to break it in 12 innings, which is the time it takes Herbert Sutcliffe of England and West Indian Everton Weekes, two all-time greats, to achieve 1,000 runs.

He shifted the gears up and down. He made 19 out of his first 11 balls before settling to 63 from 81. At that time, he repeatedly hammered sixes from Daryl Mitchell, whose medium pace fill-in received the worst criticism.

Harry Brook made runs all over the wicket. He performed lavish drives till New Zealand was completely filled. Brook dodged Neil Wagner’s attempt to bounce him and baseball-style thwacked the ball away. As the rain started, he had just moved from 100 to 150 in 38 balls and was on his way to what would have been England’s second-fastest Test double-century.

Looks like another thrilling day of test cricket with England. Also looks like England have given Root the leeway to bat at the pace he is most comfortable with. Can't wait to watch Harry Brook live….

Harry Brook is an amazing case study – how his attacking methods helped him reap rich rewards in Test cricket. Averaged 39 in FC cricket at SR of 69 before this Test. Currently averages in excess of 100 ar a SR of almost 100
