Following heavy defeats by world champions Australia at Trent Bridge and Headingley, England had to win at Chester-le-Street on Tuesday to keep the five-match series alive.Harry Brook came in to bat with England struggling at 11-2 after Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc had removed both openers.But the 25-year-old Yorkshireman responded with a superb 110 not out. He received excellent support from Will Jacks (84) in a match-changing stand of 156.By the time rain curtailed England’s pursuit of a target of 305, they had long since done enough to win by 46 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.It was yet more evidence of Brook’s talent and temperament with the novice captain, leading England this series in place of the injured Jos Buttler, appearing in just his 18th ODI.Harry Brook was simply pleased to be back in the runs.“I’m relieved, for sure,” he told reporters. “It’s nice to get that first hundred on the board and hopefully there’s plenty more to come.I feel like I’ve been a little bit stop-start this summer. I’ve had a lot of starts — 30s and 40s — and then not managed to convert, which is frustrating.To do that today I feel like I’m back in a good place. Obviously it’s nice to score runs against Australia, but scoring runs is amazing no matter who it is against.

💨In my opinion 💬 well That's awesome news about Harry Brook scoring his maiden one-day international hundred. It must have been such a special moment for him Feeling relief after achieving such a milestone shows how much pressure and hard work goes into playing at that level. It's great to hear that his performance helped England secure a victory against Australia in the third ODI. Moments like these really showcase the talent and determination of these players on the field.   The sense of relief he felt must have been immense after achieving such a significant milestone. It's always exciting to see rising talents shine in the world of  cricket.🏏
