Harry Brook and Joe Root smashed quikcfire 50’s, as England are looking to play out their batting order, given that they have three days in hand, and New Zealand all but out of the chase.
A win, which seems inevitable, will be of utmost importance for the Ben Stokes-led side, as not only they will improve their PCT (Points Percentage), but also hamper the path of fellow contestants New Zealand, who are currently in a better position than England.
Joe Root remains unbeaten on the individual score of 73, but Harry Brook departed on the score of 55, as he missed out on a sensational and unique feat.
If the Englishman had managed to score yet another 100, he would have become the first-ever cricketer from the country to score three consecutive 100’s in 3 innings in Test matches on New Zealand soil.
