Sad end to a very good career. He shouldn't play in Hamilton (but will).

@thierry henry - can we get an official height reading on Nathan Smith? Obviously not tall, but bowling 135 instead of 130 and hitting a very good length makes him a threat.
Though I think he's a less good matchup to someone like Brook who hits through the line and is a little taller, so can get on top of the bounce. O'Rourke a better matchup against Brook.
Quite a few non-controlled shots this partnership but they're scoring a lot too.

Pitch and ball settling down or England batsmen playing well ?

Harry Brook does not like facing Will O'rourke and wants to hit him out of the attack.
It's clear that O'Rourke is not a nice bowler to have to face. Whether that translates to wickets (or, catches being taken) remains to be seen over his career. But he looks absolutely horrible to bat against.
Fast, inswinging grenades jumping into your ribcage from a length.

Got to give Brook his dues.
In terms of destructiveness he's an unaesthethic version of Viv.
