Watch the video here:<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Coming in after wicketkeeper Michael Pepper had been dismissed by Southee, <span class=\"cf0\">Brook produced a brilliant variation of the stroke popularised by Tillakaratne Dilshan, directing it into a region targeted by Brendon McCullum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Brook got under a length ball from Southee, executing a reverse scoop over the keeper\u2019s head, even losing his balance and falling on the crease in the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Brook tumbled onto his back, gazing up as the delivery sailed into the stands. <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">He faced 14 off the next 26 deliveries, powering his way to 31* with the help of another six and two boundaries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">The knock carried the Superchargers to 193\/5, the highest total in two years, which the Birmingham Phoenix fell short of by 36 runs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">Star England batter Zak Crawley and <\/span><span class=\"cf0\">Dawid<\/span><span class=\"cf0\"> Malan put on a 67-run opening partnership earlier, laying the foundation for Brook\u2019s late assault. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"pf0\"><span class=\"cf0\">For Birmingham, Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell put on an important 80-run partnership, but no one else could cross 15.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"cf0\">The Superchargers hold the top spot on the table, boasting three victories from four matches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\">Notably, Brook was England\u2019s second-highest run-scorer, only behind ace batter Joe Root, in the recent Test series against India, where he scored 481 runs in five matches, at a stunning average of 53.44.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-1390496286 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-1390496286 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Harry Brook Opens Account With Bold Off-Balance Reverse Scoop In\u00a0Hundred\u00a0|\u00a0Watch<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
