    Very decent of the locals in the Auckland suburb of Green Bay to recognise the achievements already.

    Nothing wrong with that, Rob. We all have our own foibles.

    Is it bad I'm slightly annoyed that Luke Wood's four knocked Harry Brook a couple of places down the 'Highest proportion of runs scored on a completed ODI innings'?

    A rather odd-looking scorecard for England.

    Harry Brook (135) and Jamie Overton (46) the only players into double figures.

    The next-highest score for an England batter was Sam Curran's six.

    There were 17 extras.

    Boooo. This was a lot of fun from Harry Brook but unfortunately it is brought to an end.

    Brook slog sweeps Mitchell Santner to deep mid-wicket where he is caught by Nathan Smith.

    The England captain has, however, has at least given his side a chance in this ODI when a humiliating total looked on the cards.

    Of all the things worth missing sleep for; this has to be right up there; extraordinary, sublime, nonchalant and commanding; just brilliant from Harry Brook.

    Luke Wood crisply guides Nathan Smith for four off the final ball of a productive over for England.

    Harry Brook 135 off 99 balls.

    As an 30 year old England cricket fan, over the years even in times of suffering we’ve always been blessed with some of the best to have ever done it. Anderson, Broad, Root and now Brook. It’s a privilege to watch them play!

    The joy of six for Harry Brook.

    Echoes of Viv Richards at his pomp as Brook leisurely sways on his heels and pulls Nathan Smith for a maximum down at fine leg.

    Great to watch.

    Harry Brook is caught berating himself on the stump mic after failing to lift a short ball over the top.

    However, he's back in the six trail a couple of balls later.

    Twice he hammers Matthew Henry over the mid-wicket boundary with strikes as crisp as you will see in any cricket match ever.

    Harry Brook continues to attack when possible.

    A shot of real chutzpah, as he goes down low and flicks Matthew Henry fine for six.

    It's an edge, really, but such self confidence to play such a shot.

    Harry Brook's second ODI century. His maiden hundred in the format came against Australia at Durham in September 2024.

    He sweeps the final ball of a relatively tight Mitchell Santner square to keep the strike.

    Century for Brookpublished at 21.5 overs

    Make that three consecutive sixes and an ODI hundred for England white-ball skipper Harry Brook.

    A full toss on his legs and Brook goes down on one knee and pummels it on to the grass banks for another maxmium.

    His hundred has come off 82 balls, featuring nine fours and seven sixes.

  20. 6 runs

    Eng 179-9published at 31.4 overs

    Harry Brook twice sends Luke Wood back, turning down singles.

    However, he makes it count by launching Duffy for back-to-back sixes!

    He is on to 98 now.
