Subhan: "Brook's hundred is second fasted in PSL history. Proper cricketing shots, wonderful stuff. "
Abdur Rauf : "Sooo happy for Harry "
Moiz: "There could have been 6 centuries if Smeed have got 2 and Shadab has got 1."
Nauman: "When talking about centuries, let's not forget 97 and 99 by young Will Smeed. That kid has impressed." Indeed
Bharat Mohanty: "Is the standard of bowling has come or it's simply great batting? Never seen so many high scoring matches in T20 league. But loving it " In fairness, the pitches look great for T20s.
Bilal akmal: "Following Cricinfo from Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. What an environment over here from very first ball! Crowd is on their feet. Chanting, dancing, cheering. Amazing what a sight to have .." Thank you, hope you the second innings goes great too.
Harry Brook, 102*(49): I've gone from 6 to 5. I tried to rebuild in the powerplay and took it on it later. It was fun to play with Fakhar. Just tried to have fun in the 90s and the game is about entertainment so I went for a six rather than get three singles from 97. I'm struggling to hear the question, so thank you to the crowd for the support. If we hit our lengths, we should be able to defend this.
9:15 pm: A brook is like a metaphor for this innings. Started slow, meandered away, and found the sea. The three wickets in the first three overs looked to have put Islamabad in the driver's seat early. But Fakhar and Harry batted and ran like they were unaffected by the jolts. The 101 run partnership off 63 balls set things up well for Lahore. And the late order flourish, with 62 off the last five means Lahore have a great score on the board.

James : "Very impressed with the young English man, Harry Brook. Might be a future England prospect (probably in longer forms of the game)." Not sure if this is putting it mildly but there are openings
Is this a gamble or a smart move? Dawson comes in around the wicket

Saad: "12/3 , 150/5 qalanders are a team difficult to understand , still a good fight!" They've set right what they couldn't yesterday
Brook's contact points on balls on his chest and full outside off have earned him big runs. When he isn't, he's nudging twos to mid wicket
