England's Harry Brook said he was determined to "cash in" and enjoy the moment after hitting an unbeaten 184 against New Zealand in the second Test on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 24-year-old plundered his fourth century in only his sixth Test match to put England in full control in Wellington.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
His innings was all the more remarkable as Brook came to the crease with England wobbling at 21-3 inside the first seven overs at the Basin Reserve.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He shared in an unbeaten partnership of 294 with Joe Root, who was on 101 when rain intervened to end the action early on day one with England on 315-3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"There are good times at the minute," said Yorkshire-born Brook.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"But just around the corner could be a bad time, so you have to enjoy these moments and cash in as much as I can."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He made his Test debut last September, but has already chalked up four centuries including three on the tour of Pakistan last December.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"One thing I have worked on the last few years is trying to stay as level-headed as possible," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We still have another four days (of the second Test) to go, but it has been a good few months."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook was player of the match when England won the first test last week in Mount Maunganui as his back-to-back half-centuries helped them to a 267-run victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brook said he would limit his celebrations on Friday night to "Facetiming my girlfriend and parents".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, he could not resist a smile when it was pointed out that his average in Test cricket is just over 100.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
