Harry Brook's predilection for Test cricket knows no bounds as he has explored the format like no one ever did at his age.

The six-Test-old Brook has already hammered four hundreds in the format, and his latest ton against New Zealand is positioned at the top of his century list as the 24-year-old himself rated it the best among the lot.

While Brook is embarked on an unbelievable form, having scored 807 Test runs in nine innings, he does not want to be carried away by it and knows that his purple patch could end any moment.

As the batter is unbeaten on 184 in the Wellington Test, he aims to beat his father's highest score of 194 and record the first double hundred of his international career when the play resumes on Day 2.


Here's what Brook said

"It’s definitely my best century yet because of the situation of the game. The ones in Pakistan were amazing and good fun to be out there but they were all on flat pitches.Today I wouldn’t say it was a flat pitch, it is a good cricket wicket, but it is not a flat pitch where you can just smack it everywhere. We lost three early wickets which wasn’t ideal but I came out and tried to counter-punch and be as positive as I could. Thankfully it paid off,

"I’ve just said in the dressing room that I’m having good times at the minute but just around the corner there might be bad ones so I've got to enjoy these moments and cash in as much as I can. One of the things I’ve worked on is staying level headed.

"My highest score is 194 so beating my dad’s best is in the back of my mind at the minute. I was only two years old when my dad made that!’ But obviously, I have to think about facing the first ball tomorrow first. I’ve never got a 200 before. It’s only the first day of a five-day Test. So there is no declaration coming, we just carry on batting, carry on the momentum in the next few days."

England were 21-3 when Brook and Joe Root joined forces to form an unbeaten 294-run partnership as they also brought up their respective centuries in the process.
