Finisher Tom keeps fun rolling for Brook

- by GARY FITZGERALD

HARRY BROOK and his “fun-loving mates” went out to celebrate a confidence-lifting fifth white ball win in a row and a second successive series triumph.

And the Yorkshireman - who took over the helm when Jos Buttler was forced to step down following England's fall from ODI and T20 grace - must feel the captaincy lark is an absolute breeze.

Brook starred with 34, and ex-skipper Buttler made another crucial 47, as England ran out comfortable four-wicket victors in Bristol. They chased down their 197 target with nine balls to spare and plenty of fury and fireworks.

It gave them a 2-0 lead with just the one contest remaining in Southampton tomorrow, and added the T20 series to the 3-0 win in the ODIs recently.
