Harry Brook vs Kevin Pietersen: Ben Stokes makes his pick after Sri Lanka 114
ENG vs SL: Harry Brook's explosive 114 against Sri Lanka sparked a fresh debate after Ben Stokes compared his talent with Kevin Pietersen. Brook, who is now working with Pietersen, says he hopes the England great can have a major impact on his career.
Harry Brook's blistering century against Sri Lanka did more than set up a crushing England win in Southampton. His 114 not out also prompted Ben Stokes to make a bold comparison with Kevin Pietersen, before the former England captain quickly clarified that he was not trying to diminish his predecessor's extraordinary talent.
Brook took apart Sri Lanka's bowling attack in the first T20I on Tuesday, reaching his second T20I century from just 42 balls. His unbeaten 114, which included 10 fours and six sixes, helped England post 254/4 before their bowlers completed a 119-run victory.
