Harry Brook's remarkable series against Pakistan continued on Sunday as he smashed a fighting hundred to rebuild England's first innings, taking them to 254-5 at tea on the second day of the final Test in Karachi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 23-year-old drove spinner Abrar Ahmed for his eighth boundary to reach his third career hundred -- all in this series -- with his Test debut coming in September.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Batting alongside Ben Foakes, Brook revived England's innings after they lost Ben Duckett (26), Joe Root (nought) and Ollie Pope (51) in the morning session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
At tea, Brook was unbeaten on 108 and Foakes 42 in a 109-run unbroken partnership for the sixth wicket that has brought England within 50 runs of Pakistan's first innings total of 304.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England were struggling at 145-5 soon after lunch, when Ben Stokes (26) attempted a third run which Brook turned down only to see his skipper stranded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England lead the three-match series 2-0 after winning the first Test in Rawalpindi by 74 runs and Multan's second Test by 26 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook has once again taken the attack to the Pakistan bowlers like he did with his twin centuries in the first two Tests, having also hit three sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the morning session, spinners Nauman Ali and Ahmed shared three wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the National Stadium pitch offering turn, left-armer Nauman trapped Duckett leg before and had the experienced Root caught low in the slip by Agha Salman for nought on the next ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pope stood firm amidst the dual wicket fall, reaching his 11th fifty before he was bowled by Ahmed for 51, adding to the wicket he took on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
