Stunning Brook century leads England into semis
Harry Brook's sensational century under pressure led England into the T20 World Cup semi-finals with a two-wicket victory over Pakistan in Pallekele, BBC reported.
The England captain promoted himself to number three after Phil Salt was dismissed first ball and made exactly 100 in a chase of 165.
It was the first time Brook had batted first drop in his T20 international career but he played the situation perfectly, going up and down the gears as wickets fell around him, according to BBC.

However, Brugge levelled 13 minutes later when Joel Ordonez - who scored an own goal in the first leg when the two sides drew 3-3 - headed level from a corner, according to BBC.

Newcastle through to last 16 of Champions League 9-3 on aggregate
Newcastle United took their place in the last 16 knockout stage of the Champions League after beating Qarabag 3-2 at St. James' Park on Tuesday for a 9-3 on aggregate win, Reuters reported.
The outcome was never in doubt after Newcastle thrashed Qarabag 6-1 in the first leg of the playoff in Baku last week but expectations of a second goal rush proved short-lived after a promising start.
Newcastle were 2-0 up with the fans in full party mode after six minutes, the two goals coming in the space of 80 seconds from Sandro Tonali in the fourth minute and Joelinton on the volley in the sixth, according to Reuters.
