    Full toss, four.

    Will Jacks has raced to 29 off just 12 balls. Brook is 138 off 91 and it's chaos.

  2. 6 runs

    Eshan Malinga is trying to stick to his yorker plan but there's so little margin for error.

    Harry Brook nonchalantly scoops for six.

    200 Harry? Fingers crossed.

  4. India beat New Zealand in first T20

    Over in Christchurch, India have beaten New Zealand by four wickets in the first T20.

    New Zealand reached 225-4 after being put into bat, with Glenn Phillips making an unbeaten 82 from 40 balls.

    Sanju Samson scored 67 from 33 deliveries as India put on a 93-run opening partnership in their reply, before captain Shreyas Iyer (42) staged stands of 45 and 43 with Axar Patel (24) and Naman Dhir for the fifth and sixth wickets.

    Dhir (42 from 15) saw the tourists home with a six off Matt Henry, ending the match with two balls to spare.

    The next game in the five-match series is to be played on Saturday in Hamilton.

    Eeek.

    Will Jacks fancies a bit of this, too.

    Three fours in the over, but it is stinking bowling. First a full toss is whipped off his pads, before Madushanka offers two half-volleys wide of the off stump and Jacks slams them both to the ropes.

    It's such a lovely shot from Harry Brook. He's so still when he connects with the ball.

    It's a beautiful shot. Extraordinary, really.

  7. Eng 293-3

    Where do you bowl?

    Harry Brook whips off his pads for an effortless six, before clubbing two more fours down the ground.

    400, anyone?

  8. Eng 277-3

    Silly, just silly.

    Brook sets up for a ramp but Asitha Fernando adjusts his line well and throws it wide of off stump. Somehow, Brook reverse-dabs it for four regardless.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    Harry Brook now averages double as a captain than when he wasn't.

    The other day when I interviewed him, he seemed a more mature character. I think his batting and general management shows that.

  10. How's stat?!

    Harry Brook in ODIs:

    • As captain - 25 innings, 1138 runs, 4 hundreds, Avg 54.19
    • Not as captain - 21 inns, 504 runs, 0 hundreds, Avg 25.20

    Harry Brook's knock has included 10 fours and five sixes so far. He looks completely locked in to add a fair few more to that tally, too.

    10 overs to go. Strap yourselves in...

    It's very hard to see how Sri Lanka stop the flow of runs without taking wickets. England are just able to make the most of anything loose coming at them. England are very well placed here.

  13. Eng 269-3

    And again! Brook repeats the shot, and gets the same result.

    Sri Lanka are wilting, at the mercy of his brilliance.

    Fantastic display of patience from Harry Brook. It's ended up being a quick hundred but he didn't come flying out the blocks. He had to be patient.

    100 for Harry Brook

    Eng 263-3

    Unbelievable.

    Harry Brook goes to a 75-ball century in the most Harry Brook way you could imagine. He shuffles across his stumps and scoops Asitha Fernando for four.

    What a ridiculous cricketer.

  16. Steven Finn
    Former England fast bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    So simple. Brook just makes it look so easy. Just guiding it in that gap. One blow away from a well-deserved century for Brook.

  17. Eng 259-3

    Sri Lanka are receiving similar treatment to be fair, Jack, so you're not alone.

    Brook opens the face of the bat and gloriously guides the ball for four.

    He moves to 97...

    Played against Harry Brook in school T20 game back in 2017 or so. He hit 120 in about 16 overs, reverse sweeping and scooping our opening bowlers well before it was the norm. Never seen anything like it.

    Will Jacks joins Harry Brook in the middle.

    Jordan Cox and Sam Curran are still to come. It could be a lively final 10 overs!

    That 69 from Joe Root has set the foundation for England to keep the march going on.

    Now it's the chance for Will Jacks to capitalise here.
