England captain Harry Brook marked a significant milestone in his career by reaching his maiden ODI century in style during the third match of the five-game series against Australia at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on September 24. Brook brought up the century with a late cut-off Australian speedster Mitchell Starc in the 35th over of England’s run chase.
The Yorkshireman displayed brilliant finesse as he deliberately guided a length delivery past wicketkeeper Alex Carey. With the pace of Starc’s delivery aiding the shot, the ball raced away to the boundary, sealing Brook’s hundred with back-to-back boundaries.
