A bit of flight, from around the wicket, on middle, Brook punches this down to long on for one more.

Fuller, outside off, Ben Duckett gets down and sweeps this behind square on the leg side for a run.

Evidence of nerves, a full toss, around middle, Harry Brook pushes it down to long on for a single.
Big moment for Cooper Connolly. The debutant has been thrown into the fire. Was ordinary in the T20Is. Against dragons breathing fire, nerves are bound to be there.

Similar ball, this time Brook gets across and nurdles it through mid-wicket for a run. Moves to 40 (33). The stand is worth 60 (54).

Yorker, outside off, the skipper digs it out. 3 sixes and 3 dots in that over and Zampa has gone for 30 in his 2 overs!

SIX! This is just a flick! Zampa floats this up, around off, Brook gets under it and just lifts it over mid on. So good is the timing that the ball sails over long on!

Fuller, on middle and leg, pushed back.

SIX MORE! Zampa is still having nightmares from Lord's. He is yet to find his length and rhythm here. After a drag down on the first ball, he bowls a full toss on off and Brook is in too good a form to miss it. Gets low and slogs it massively over mid-wicket. The ball goes out of the ground, onto the car park. We think like we are going to look for a replacement ball but then it is returned. Brook moves to 33 from 27 and the 50-STAND IS UP IN 48 BALLS!
It is getting quite blustery out there, with the wind picking up.

Fuller, around off, watchfully defended.
