ENG vs NZ: English cricket sensation, Harry Brook, continued his impressive run of form in red-ball cricket in a warm-up match against New Zealand XI before the two-match Test series. The talented right-hander, who shined during England’s historic 3-0 Test series win in Pakistan, started off the New Zealand trip with a bang, showing his skill with the bat.
Harry Brook smashes five sixes in an over
On the first day of the two-day fixture, Harry Brook hit five consecutive sixes in an over against Kiwi spinner, Adithya Ashok. Brook dominated the off-spinner, taking his score from Ashok’s over to 86* off just 62 balls, as England continued their aggressive style under coach Brendon McCullum.
The incredible string of sixes came in the 36th over of England’s first innings. Brook took on the loopy off-spin of Ashok, unleashing his full potential and sending the spinner’s deliveries soaring over the boundary. Unfortunately, footage of the first four sixes was unavailable, but the fifth was captured on camera, showing Brook advancing down the pitch and smashing the ball over long-on.

During England’s 3-0 whitewash in Pakistan, Brook was the standout player, scoring 468 runs with three centuries in just five innings.
