The second Test match is being played between New Zealand and England at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. In this match, England batsman Harry Brook made many records by scoring a century. England, who won the toss and batted first, had a bad start and the team lost four wickets for just 43 runs. But from here Brook took charge and made a comeback by adding 174 runs for the fifth wicket with wicketkeeper OP Pope. During this innings, Brook even defeated the great batsman Don Bradman.

Brooke left Bradman behind

This was Brook’s 16th innings abroad and now he has become the batsman to score the most centuries after 16 innings. He now has 7 centuries to his name, whereas Bradman had scored 6 centuries in a single innings. Apart from Bradman, England’s Ken Barrington and Australia’s Neil Harvey were also successful in scoring 6 centuries in a single innings.

Brook scored a century in 91 balls

Brook, who came to bat at number five for England, completed his eighth Test century in just 91 balls against the Kiwis in Wellington. Initially the team’s wickets kept falling, but regardless of this they attacked the bowlers vigorously. Pope was a little cautious in the beginning, but Brook showed no mercy to any bowler. He thrashed the Kiwi bowlers, scored runs in every corner of the ground and scored an explosive century.

Brook’s brilliant century

Brook scored this century at a strike rate of 109.80. This is his fourth Test century in New Zealand. With this, he now holds the record for most Test centuries by a foreign cricketer in New Zealand. Brook is currently the only Test batsman to have scored two thousand runs with an average of over 50 and a strike rate of over 80.
