After a crushing defeat in the second T20I, England came back strongly to thrash Pakistan in the third game to go 2-1 up in the series.

England piled up a huge score of 221/3 in their given 20 overs. 23 year old Harry Brook blasted his way off to a career best unbeaten 81 off just 35 deliveries. He was ably supported by Ben Duckett (70* off 42), who has also been in decent touch with the bat.

Following the visitor's victory, former England skipper Nasser Hussain heaped praises on the middle order batter, saying that Brook is a serious talent and that he has surely sealed his spot at no.5 in the side for the World Cup.

The former England skipper also talked about how impressive was Brook's ability to play shots to all parts of the ground. He also talked about how indispensable the youngster has become in the shortest format  of the game.

"His all-around ground hitting is a key point. Some players will target the leg side, but if you bowl outside off to him, he'll go over extra cover as well, so there's no area that you're safe.

"Going into this series you were looking at how we get Brook into the starting XI, but I can't see how you can leave him out now."
