HIL Salt was happy to play second fiddle to Harry Brook in England’s 65-run win over New Zealand in the second T20, even if it meant reducing his chances of a significant milestone.

Brook was at his destructive best in Christchurch, thumping five sixes, three of which sailed out of the Hagley Oval, and six fours in his 78 off 35 balls, putting on 129 with Salt, who was no slouch himself.

Salt thrashed 85 off 56 balls to underpin England’s 236-4, but he felt Brook was a level up in the power-hitting stakes and was glad to get his partner on strike once the Yorkshireman got going.

Doing so might have diminished his hopes of a fifth T20 hundred - equalling the world record held jointly by India’s Rohit Sharma and Australia’s Glenn Maxwell - but Salt had no regrets.
