Harry Brook: No batter with 3,000 Test runs has ever scored faster

Harry Brook's Test strike rate sits at almost 87 runs per 100 balls — nearly a run every delivery in the format built for patience. No batter with at least 3,000 Test runs has scored more quickly, per BBC Sport. Brook has also been working on reading pitches faster to distinguish high-risk shots from those genuinely on after averaging just under 40 on the Ashes tour.
