PAK vs ENG: Harry Brook eyes redemption ahead of Rawalpindi Test decider

England's top-order batter, Harry Brook, has expressed his excitement and confidence ahead of the series-deciding third Test against Pakistan, set to take place from October 24 to 28 at Rawalpindi. 

With the series tied at 1-1, Brook remains hopeful that England will deliver a strong performance in the final match.

"It's exciting, it's good to play in deciding games, and hopefully, we can put in a good performance," Brook said during a media conference. 

England won the first Test but suffered a setback in the second, where Pakistan's spinners dominated. 

Reflecting on the Rawalpindi pitch, which is reportedly being prepared under similar spin-friendly conditions to the second Test in Multan, Brook added, "God knows, to be honest. Everybody goes and looks at the wickets and says something different. You just have to wait and see. Hopefully, it's like any other Pakistani pitch – good to bat on for the first few days, and then we can get some turn at the backend."

Brook made headlines during the series opener with a stellar performance, amassing a record-breaking 317 runs, becoming only the sixth English batter to score a triple century in Test cricket. 

Speaking about his achievement, he said, "It was nice to get that amount of runs, but I’m still hungry to score a lot more. Hopefully, I can play a big part in this game."

Pakistan broke their home losing streak in the second Test with standout performances from spin duo Sajid Khan and Nauman Ali, who took a combined 20 wickets. Aware of the threat posed by the spinners, Brook remarked, "Obviously, they’re both going to play a massive part in their team this week. We’ve spoken about game plans, and hopefully, it pays off."
