England's rising young player Harry Brook continued on his rich vein of form in red-ball cricket in his team's warm-up encounter versus New Zealand XI prior to the two-match Test series on Kiwi shores. 

The talented right-hander dominated through England's historic 3-0 Test series triumph in Pakistan late last year and has now started off the New Zealand trip on a very happy note, blazing his willow in the tour's only warm-up encounter. 

On Day 1 of the two-day fixture versus New Zealand XI, Harry Brook hit five consecutive sixes in an over against Kiwis' Indian-origin spinner Adithya Ashok, who simply had no safe response to the batter's onslaught. 

It was Brook at his very best as he pulverised the opposition off-spinner for five maximums after an initial dot ball in the over. The batter took his tally by the end of six deliveries from Ashok to 86* off just 62 balls, helping England continue on their ultra-attacking ways under coach Brendon McCullum.

The string of sixes arrived in the over No.36 of England's first-innings effort on Day 1 of the game. Facing the loopy off-spin of Ashok, Harry Brook decided to unleash the beast inside him and hammer the spinner away for one maximum after the other. 

During England's remarkable 3-0 whitewash in Pakistan, Brook emerged as their biggest positive, scoring 468 runs with three centuries in just five innings.
