England’s Harry Brook shines with a century against the West Indies on the fourth day of the Test match at Trent Bridge. Root also hits a fifty, as England’s lead extends to 243 runs with no alarms. Brook’s century came off just 118 balls with 12 fours, marking a significant milestone in his young career. Root looks solid as well, with the 63rd over bringing him to his 63rd Test cricket fifty. The duo’s partnership strengthens England’s position in the game.
Brook’s feat is impressive, as only a few England players have scored five hundreds within their first 14 Tests, with Andrew Strauss being the most recent. The young player’s performance is praised by fans and experts alike. Brook’s 99th run was nervy as he edged closer to his maiden century on home soil, which he eventually achieved with a scampered single to mid-on. He celebrates the milestone with a stretch and a smile, hugged by Root in acknowledgment of his achievement.
As the game progresses, Brook and Root continue to pile on the runs, with a few boundaries and singles adding to England’s lead. Fans are eager to see what the day holds, with some hoping for Brook to reach a total of around 130 runs, setting up an exciting finale to the match. The day’s play promises an exciting display of cricket, with both teams pushing for victory in what could be a closely contested game.
