After heavy losses to Australia at Trent Bridge and Headingley, England knew nothing less than victory would be enough to keep themselves in the five-match series and Brook’s masterful innings delivered. It’s nice to get that first hundred on the board and hopefully there’s plenty more to come.” “I feel like I’ve been a little bit stop-start this summer, I’ve had a lot of starts – 30s and 40s – and then not managed to convert, which is frustrating. Obviously it’s nice to score runs against Australia but scoring runs is amazing no matter who it is against.” Brook raised eyebrows with some of his comments after England’s loss in the series opener in Nottingham, reflecting on some loose dismissals by saying: “If you get caught somewhere on the boundary or in the field then who cares?”. You’ve seen it so many times in the Test environment, at the start Stokesy was getting out caught at mid-on which is unheard of before, so you’ve got to go out with that fearless attitude and try to take it to the bowlers.” Australia head coach Andrew McDonald bemoaned the absence of key spinner Adam Zampa, a late withdrawal through illness, but doffed his cap to Brook.
