00:00well 286 for three just the 46 overs so far and meaning is if you're to win one
00:15test for Pakistan versus it well that's over the top that's just very very
00:28sweetly played fix the flights just use his feet nicely as a nice flow of the bats all
00:36made to look ridiculously easy yeah he's a very good player over extra cover very fine runs away
00:53very quickly as we've seen all day the ball nowadays do that's nicely tucked away finds the gap between
01:18mid wicket and mid on and it's a brave effort it's it's a pretty good effort but one in vain in the
01:26end oh good from Brooke she's easing it through the leg side there's not a lot of spin not so good from
01:34outside my mood well he's pulled it away nicely doesn't matter whether it's the last over for 40
01:46or not if there's an opportunity to this generation of England batsmen be here Harry Brooke it was
01:53fractionally short he was quickly back sometimes it can be a difficult shot here when the ball skids
02:00through but Brooke stayed low stayed on the shot of the game swinger whipped when you see the replay of
02:20this watch his bottom hand come through the ball and get back speed and that's how he finds the
02:26boundary it's a very good shot because if it was short it wasn't that sure but he's quite slow through
02:37the air the pitch is quite slow and that means that Brooke can kind of hang back it's not fit
02:45might go away for four it does fine leg has been pretty wide Azim Shah has his head in his hands
03:02but a bit of bat on that thing was Mohammed Ali again at the boundary feels to stop this one
03:12Trinity all the time problems is a decent bowler himself by doing that
03:30oh what a shot that is short and dispatched leg side that's going all the way Harry Brooke just
03:44climbed into that this is these quick hands just see how quickly that bat travels from the back lift
03:52through the striking points to follow through and that's what gives it the momentum that's what means
03:58it clear or calendar so they know each other really well into the onside and Brooke gets to his first test
04:06match 50 it's come off 52 deliveries he likes batting against Pakistan and likes batting in Pakistan and
04:17he's played beautifully tell you this he just likes batting see test cricket here
04:23the runs just continue to flow with no time just to compose each other
04:33yeah very clean what he wants to do previous record and that through the offside into the fence make sure that
04:44England now have scored the most runs in a day's play in Pakistan high-quality batting round the wicket the
04:53off spinner just dropped slightly short but is that they're off pulled away for four easy pickings answer if
05:07you go a little straighter or ball middle middle leg you will be punished pitch it'll be a big struggle and it's a
05:15struggle for the spinner here also holding his first over just just being running around and fetching the
05:25ball and throwing back it back to the boiler another one down the ground so three already in this over
05:33they're probably the best change the tattoo it is very very good batting because it's not just the
05:41timing it's the placement you've got men in the deep dismissed again leg side goes to the fence I think
05:52Harry Rook wants his 100 quickly not getting it right at all a couple of short deliveries put away and then
05:59fuller and a fuller and a full toss tonight
06:02another one
06:08another one through the offside so he's motoring along 80 of 63
06:14even with this he's upping the ante and that's saying something
06:21goes next side and he does exactly that six fours off the over
06:30oh why won't you smile why won't you be happy it's an exhibition
06:38448 for three
06:41oh they're just looking on the other side they're not really looking at the captain
06:46yep big smile
06:49well Brooke is hitting the ball so sweetly now he's full of confidence particularly against spin
07:00firmly through the offside so he's to 89 now
07:05now
07:10then now for the first time
07:18this challenge from day to day
07:26a day that Harry Brooke will never forget
07:34you dream of playing test cricket for England if you're a batter you dream of scoring a test match 100
07:40he's done it here in Rualpindi in his second test match
07:45what a day for Harry Brooke what a day for England
07:48and what an exquisite shot to get to 100
07:57a classic cover drive which pretty much sums up how England have played today
08:02you look at the scoreboard and you think it's been a bit of a slog and a hit
08:06this shot sums up how they've played
08:09they've played with intent with grace with Slade
08:12some rim will be with the game
08:22hit beautifully over wide mid on is that a six I think it is all the way he went with
08:27the drift of the ball and that's two sixes in two overs now of the second day
08:32hey this is the most beautiful cricket shot because it's gone for six with
08:37apparently no effort as good leavers
08:51between these two sides
08:5680 to his six count there Michael
09:07into the rough hide it out there it's very high hard to hide it when you have
09:10batters who can play shots like that because right handers become left handers
09:15nowadays that is nailed for how do you describe that a switch hit and it's gone
09:20over extra cover so even with that man was we can play it everywhere the
09:27conventional seep and that goes for four as well
09:31yeah this is just supreme confidence from Brooke this is way outside leg stump so
09:38it's a counter to the reverse please hit that just as hard and again the
09:47reverse and again it's going to be a boundary man is behind square which I'm
09:52not sure it's the right place for him if he's bowling it he leans back and he pulls
09:58it away this is going to be another boundary
10:06and it is four it's not a six it's four down the pitch and he's going to hit that
10:13again for a boundary is it all the way you bet it is he's gone for a double ton
10:19here Mahmood he's gone for 205
10:26it's it's been quite staggering start again to this game Harry Brooke is having
10:32the time of his life out there he's just taken 27 off the over from Zahi the
10:39options oh that's gone between keeper and slip and it is a hundred and fifty for
10:45Harry Brooke a maiden hundred yesterday he's moved on to a hundred and fifty this
10:52morning and he's set for a few more what a player this young man is a pure
10:59of domination brilliant knock keeping the run rate up there near seven scoring his
11:08first 150 and he's looking at double maybe triple who knows should be out yeah
11:20simple catch out into the deep so Harry Brooks fun has come to an end tell he got
11:27out actually in his first test match at the oval just flicking one in the air to
11:32the leg side it's another wicket for Nassim who now has three and Pakistan will
11:37be very happy to see the back of the end to deep square leg congratulations to
11:41Harry Brooke what an innings in just his second test match a hundred and fifty three
11:46from just a hundred and sixteen balls
