Brook has now won all five games since taking over from Jos Buttler and has the chance to match the 3-0 ODI whitewash in Southampton on Tuesday.

England were put under real pressure when the tourists blazed 82 off the last five overs of their innings - Adil Rashid smashed for five sixes in the 19th - but did not blink in a rousing chase.

Jos Buttler's 47 set the platform but the game was settled by two of the team's less experienced hands, Jacob Bethell clubbing 26 off just 10 balls and Tom Banton an unbeaten 30 from 11.

There were 25 sixes in the match as the Seat Unique Stadium lived up to its reputation as a big-hitter’s playground, but it was England who held the day.

England made one change to their winning team from Durham, Luke Wood replacing Matthew Potts, and the game was only a few seconds old when the switch paid off.
