BROOK SHOW OF DEFIANCE

HARRY BROOK wants England to take a leaf out of his book following a breathtaking century from the Yorkshireman in their four-wicket defeat by New Zealand.

- FROM DAVID CHARLESWORTH

England were reeling on five for three in the first of three ODIs when Brook strode to the crease in favourable seam bowling conditions and their position worsened as they lurched to 33 for five.

Brook was the only top-seven batter to reach double figures and he rescued them from total ignominy with 135 off 101 balls, accounting for 60.54 per cent of his side's 223 - a record for England in ODIs.
