The young batting sensation of the England National Cricket Team Harry Brook hit a brilliant hundred in the second Test match against the India National Cricket Team on Friday, July 4.
The fans on X praised England star Harry Brook after their brilliant show with a bat at 3 on the day of Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Harry Brook brings England back to the game
India scored 587 runs on the board in their first innings in their first innings, thanking Captain Shubman Gill for the historic 269-Run Knock.

With the ball, Akash Deep and Mohammad Siraj gave India a good start and reduced England and reduced to 84/5. The hosts were completely down and out when Jamie Smith joined with Harry Brook in the middle.
Any wicket ahead would have pushed out from the game completely, but Harry Brook did not let this happen with Jamie Smith.
Brooke carefully batted, while Smith played a reversal knock to transfer the speed back towards England.
Smith hit his ton off 80 balls, and Brook reached a three-stoned milestone off 137 balls. England White-Ball Skipar registered its ninth century in Test cricket in great fashion in its ninth century, cutting Prasad Krishna with a diver street and deep third for four.
Yorkshireman has hit nine tons in 44 innings in Test cricket, and this is the lowest innings taken by any player to score nine tests in the last 17 years. In addition, his nine tons have the second highest in trials since 2022.
The lowest innings to register a ninth Test 100 for England:
37 – Dennis Competon
43 – Herbert Sutklif
44 – Harry Brook
50 – Valley Hammond
As Brooke broke his century, Nasir Hussain labeled him as an incredible talent, and the young batsman also praised Ravi Shastri and Alex Hartley.
Former England captain Nasir Hussain said on Sky Sports, “Brook is an incredible talent. He found 99 at his home ground, but he receives three figures here in Edgbaston. He is an average of over 60 in Test cricket.”
“What conversion rate. 27 tests nine hundred, so every three tests, he gets one hundred!” Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said on Sky Sports.
Former England bowler Alex Hartley said at the BBC Test Match Special, “It was difficult last night, Harry Brook has been very good today, however, he came out with a job and played peacefully. He deserves this 100.”
