The knock saw England post a humongous first inning total of 499. It is safe to say that Brook played a crucial role in the victory for the Three Lions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle-order batter smashed his 7th Test century and massively helped England in taking a 1-0 lead in the series. Brook scored an impressive 15 boundaries and 3 sixes in this fabulous knock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this knock, Brook rose 2 places, overtaking India&#8217;s Yashasvi Jaiswal for the second spot. The England batter is just 41 points behind teammate Joe Root who remained as the number 1 Test batter in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After heroics with the bat in the first Test, the England duo of Ollie Pope (up eight spots to 32nd) and skipper Ben Stokes (up seven places to 34th) also made substantial gains in the ICC Test rankings for batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming to the bowler rankings, South Africa&#8217;s Marco Jansen rose 19 places and moved to the 9th spot following his incredible performance against Sri Lanka where he bagged 11 wickets. He also moved up to 2nd in the Test all-rounder rankings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The England batter proved to be too good for the Kiwi bowlers in the recently-concluded
