MANCHESTER [UK]: Legendary Sri Lankan batter Kumar Sangakkara praised young England batter Harry Brook for his "simplicity of technique", saying that he loves watching the youngster bat.
Coming in at 125/4 while aiming to overcome Sri Lanka's first innings total of 236 runs, Brook displayed immense maturity, toning down a bit on his naturally aggressive game to amass 56 runs in 73 balls, with four boundaries. His runs came at a strike rate of just over 76, way below his career SR of over 90.
