Alastair Cook makes Harry Brook prediction after England star's "fantastic start"

Harry Brook top scored for England with a rapid 89 in the first Test against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui, continuing his dream start to his international career.

Already a T20 World Cup winner, the 23-year-old has now smashed 569 runs at an average of 81.28 in his first seven Test innings against the likes of South Africa, Pakistan and New Zealand.

And England legend Sir Alastair Cook has been hugely impressed by Brook, having played against a teenage Brook when he scored his maiden first-class hundred back in 2018, tipping the 23-year-old to be "one of England's premier batters" in all formats when he gets more international experience under his belt.
