ENG vs NZ 1st ODI: England skipper Harry Brook scored his career-best innings against New Zealand in the first ODI on Sunday. He came in to bat when the visitors were reeling at 5/3, and it was 56/6 in the 12th over, and he had put up a fight and held the innings from one end along with Jamie Overton.

Brook had scored a brilliant knock of 135 runs off 101 balls, in which he had hit nine fours and 11 sixes at a strike rate of 133, and Overton had scored a gritty knock of 46 runs.

The visitors posted a respectable target of 223 runs after getting skittled out in the 36th over. Brook's innings was 60.53 percent of the team's target, and that was the most for England in one innings, surpassing the tally of Robin Smith's. He had scored an unbeaten knock of 167 runs, which was 60.28 percent of the target of 277/5 against Australia way back in 1993.
