Former England captain Eoin Morgan has said that Harry Brook has been baptised by fire in the first two matches agianst Australia. Brook, who is standing in for Jos Buttler has lost the first two games of the 5-match series.

Harry Brook pleaded for “patience” after England found themselves in the familiar position of being down 2-0 down with three to play against old rivals Australia.Set 271 to win, England’s hopes of levelling the ODI series were effectively sunk when they lurched to 65 for five after 9.

Harry Brook’s message will be simple as he heads into a brief spell as England cricket captain. He says the mantra will be “whatever you feel like doing, just do it."
