    England's record run-scorer believes team mate Harry Brook is the reason they're on the brink of a home test cricket series win over India

    England's record run-scorer believes team mate Harry Brook is the reason they're on the brink of a home test cricket series win over India


    The hosts needs 35 runs to win the fifth and final match at London's Oval, and claim the series 3-1.

    Conversely, if India snare the remaining four wickets, they'll draw the series 2-all.

    Joe Root scored his 39th test century in the ongoing chase - but reckons Brook's swashbuckling 111 was the key contribution.
