In a thrilling third ODI match held in Durham, Harry Brook emerged as a cricketing hero by smashing his maiden ODI century with an unbeaten 110 off just 94 balls. The rain may have played its tricks, but it couldn't dampen the spirits of Brook and the England team as they secured a 46-run victory over Australia using the DLS method. With this win, England managed to keep their hopes alive in the five-match series, now trailing 2-1.

Brook's performances are drawing comparisons to the greats of the game, and his stellar partnership with Chris Jacks, adding 156 runs for the third wicket, was a sight to behold. This powerful innings came as a breath of fresh air for England, especially after suffering a 68-run defeat in the previous match, which had seen Australia leading the series comfortably. The victory was not only a crucial boost for the team but also a strategic comeback against the in-form Aussie side, which had been on a staggering 348-day winning streak!

Australia had come into this match hoping to seal the series with another win, riding high after their impressive performances in the previous two ODIs. Alex Carey and Steven Smith had set the stage for a competitive total of 304 runs, which made England's task of chasing down the target all the more daunting. However, with Brook’s dominating innings, they managed to flip the script unexpectedly, showcasing the unpredictable nature of cricket.

As the rain interrupted play and the DLS method came into play, it was clear that the match would be one remembered for Brook's brilliance. Australia, known for their resilience, would have to regroup and come back even stronger in the next match, as England now have the momentum from this exhilarating win. Cricket fans worldwide are sitting on the edge of their seats awaiting the fourth ODI where anything could happen!
