Brook has scored 2993 runs in 56 innings of 33 Test matches at an average of 54.41. As soon as he scores 7 runs in the first innings of this match, he will complete his 3000 runs in Test cricket and will become the joint second fastest player for England to reach this figure.

Currently this record is in the name of Dennis Compton, who achieved this feat in 57 innings. Herbert Sutcliffe is at number one in this list with 52 innings.

Brook has hit 49 sixes so far in this format. By hitting a six, he will become the seventh player for England to hit 50 sixes in Test cricket. So far only Ben Stokes, Kevin Pietersen, Andrew Flintoff, Ian Botham, Jonny Bairstow and Stuart Broad have been able to do this.

In the current series, Brook is at third place in terms of most runs for England. He has scored 173 runs in six innings of the first three Tests at an average of 28.83, scoring one half-century.

It is noteworthy that England is trailing 0-3 in the five-match series and has lost the trophy.
