Harry Brook breaks two staggering records with latest England heroics in New Zealand

Harry Brook continued his remarkable start to life as a Test match cricketer with an outstanding 184 not out against New Zealand in Wellington, breaking two stunning records in the process.

Since making his debut against South Africa last September after Jonny Bairstow suffered a freak golf injury and broke his leg, Brook has enjoyed a golden run of form. He has smashed a total of 807 runs at an average of 100.87 in nine innings so far, including four hundreds and three half-centuries.

No other batter has scored more runs than Brook in their first nine Test innings, with the 24-year-old surpassing Vinod Kambli's record of 798 runs. And in striking his fourth century in just his sixth Test, Brook equalled Sir Don Bradman's record except he did it in nine innings while Bradman did it in 11.
