“Next KP in making” – Fans react to Harry Brook’s blistering 135 in NZ vs ENG 2025 1st ODI

England’s ODI skipper, Harry Brook, played a sensational knock in their first game against New Zealand in the ongoing three-match series. The opening match took place at Mount Maunganui on Sunday, October 26.

Batting first, England suffered a top-order collapse, losing four wickets with just ten runs on the board. However, captain Harry Brook stepped up and played an innings for the ages. The right-hander slammed a scintillating hundred and led his team’s fightback spectacularly.

Brook scored 135 runs off just 101 balls, batting at number five. His stellar innings included nine boundaries and 11 sixes, striking at an impressive rate of 133.66. Thanks to his heroics, England managed to post a competitive total of 223 before being bundled out in 35.2 overs.

Fans around the world were awestruck by Brook’s brilliance and took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate his blistering hundred. One fan even suggested that Brook could be the next Kevin Pietersen for England, noting Pietersen’s reputation for explosive middle-order batting. The fan tweeted, “Harry Brook man. He is next KP in making. He will rule.”

Here are some other reactions from fans on X, praising Brook’s fabulous knock:

While Brook’s innings was nothing short of magnificent, the total of 223 might not be enough for England to defend against a strong New Zealand side. Nonetheless, England will be keen for their skipper to carry this excellent form into the remaining matches of the series.

### A Look at Harry Brook’s International Career

Harry Brook, in his relatively short international career so far, has emerged as an exceptional talent for England across all formats of the game.

The 26-year-old made his international debut in January 2022 in a T20I against the West Indies. His Test debut came later that year against South Africa, and his maiden ODI appearance was also against the same opponents in 2023.

To date, Brook has featured in 30 Tests, 33 ODIs, and 52 T20Is. In Test cricket, he has amassed 2,820 runs from 50 innings at an outstanding average of 57.55, including 10 centuries and 13 half-centuries.

In ODIs, Brook has scored 1,130 runs at an average of 37.66, with two centuries and six fifties from 33 matches. In the shortest format, he has accumulated 1,012 runs from 52 games at an average of 30.66, boasting a strike rate of 151.72 along with five half-centuries.

With such promising numbers and a natural flair for attacking cricket, Harry Brook is undoubtedly a key figure in England’s cricketing future. Fans will be hoping to see more extraordinary innings from their dynamic captain in the upcoming matches.

Thousands flock to NC Central University for homecoming with new safety measures in place

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — Thousands of people flocked to North Carolina Central University on Saturday for homecoming, which came with new security measures ahead of this year’s celebrations.

Despite the Eagles’ 35-26 loss to Delaware State, the energy and excitement for homecoming remained high. Many current and former students describe the event as a family reunion.

“Homecoming means the greatest four years of your life that we are able to reflect on with friends, family,” said Chelsea Ray, an NCCU Class of 2005 alum.

This year’s festivities were filled with Eagle Pride.

“People come from all over the country to Durham, North Carolina, every year to celebrate our homecoming,” shared NCCU senior Zion Tyson.

Quentin White, who graduated from NCCU in 2023, expressed gratitude for a safe and enjoyable homecoming experience.

“It’s amazing, man, being able to do something like this without any violence going on? It’s perfect,” he said.

The university implemented several changes this year to improve safety, following two separate shootings during last year’s homecoming weekend that left four people injured.

To enhance security, only faculty, staff, and students were allowed to park on campus during the festivities. Shuttle services were also provided from downtown Durham and Durham Tech to campus. Additionally, all music on campus ended at 6:30 p.m., and the campus closed down by 7 p.m.

ABC11 observed a significant law enforcement presence on campus from various agencies, as well as drones monitoring the Post Game Social on Saturday evening.

NCCU alum Lakeaya Lane appreciated the added safety measures.

“This area is about to be packed with people,” she said. “Knowing that you’re going to be safe and everybody can come and there’s still a place where everybody can be.”

NCCU senior Malcolm Reed agreed, offering advice to fellow Eagles celebrating homecoming this weekend.

“Stay safe out there. Don’t do nothing crazy. Don’t do nothing your mom wouldn’t approve of,” he said. “We’ll see you next year!”

“Heavyweight division is cursed or what!” – MMA world explodes as Tom Aspinall vs. Ciryl Gane ends in NC following a double eye poke

The UFC 321 main event clash between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane ended in confusion rather than clarity. What was billed as a meeting between two of the most technically gifted heavyweights lasted less than five minutes before an accidental eye poke halted the contest.

The fight, however, opened with intent. Aspinall pressed forward early, landing quick combinations and stiff calf kicks. Gane responded with clean jabs and sharp footwork. Then, midway through the round, Gane’s outstretched hand caught Aspinall in both eyes. The action stopped immediately.

Aspinall took the full recovery period but was unable to regain vision in his right eye. After a brief discussion with the ringside doctor, the referee waved off the fight at 4:35 of the first round, ruling the bout a no-contest. It was an anticlimactic end to a matchup that promised to define the top of the heavyweight division.

Reactions came quickly from across the MMA community:

Former UFC light heavyweight contender Corey Anderson wrote:
“Eye pokes suck for sure, but it wasn’t knuckle deep. A slight graze!”

Former UFC middleweight contender Derek Brunson commented:
“Wow, the fight ended with an eye poke, no contest. The heavyweight division is cursed or what!!! You cannot hold up a division for no one. Put the title up for grabs next week.”

UFC featherweight contender Arnold Allen said:
“Man, that’s f*cking rough for Tom, double eye poke.”

Former UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad added:
“Ugh, been there, worst feeling ever. Gane can’t be mad, you clearly poked him, learn to keep your hands closed.”

Prominent MMA journalist Ariel Helwani called for an immediate rematch:
“Fight is over. It will end in a no-contest due to an ‘unintentional foul.’ They will no doubt have to run this back right away. Fight was really good, and Gane showed up to fight.”

Check out some of the reactions below:

Jock O’Lantern: Pumpkin carver goes viral for Taylor Swift creation, fans demand Kelce gourd

They’re out of their gourds over these celebrity pumpkins. Karrah Youngblood’s amazing likeness of Taylor Swift carved into a pumpkin racked up 11.6 million social media views, with swooning Swifties demanding she do the same for Travis Kelce.

“I was like, ‘That’s a great idea. Plus he’s good looking.’ I thought he turned out great,” Youngblood, 47, told The Post ahead of Halloween.

The Oklahoma graphic designer posted the spellbinding squashes in a TikTok video she captioned “two of my pumpkins are getting married.” One viewer commented, “Bet the pumpkins last longer than the marriage!”

Last September, Youngblood had a mere 400 followers on TikTok and Instagram. But after she posted a video of her Beyoncé pumpkin—which now has a staggering 11.2 million combined views—she amassed nearly 70 million views of her A-list art.

The single mom, who makes her creations using only a 97-cent cutting knife, an $18 chisel, a thumbtack, and a $3.50 pumpkin, sells her carvings for as much as $1,100. She’s partnered with companies like Spotify, for whom she carved Megan Thee Stallion, and Comic Con, which asked for William Shatner.

“And I don’t even need to send them the pumpkin. I just need to send them a 15 to 30-second video,” she said.

Her process, which takes an hour and a half, begins with designing a pattern in Adobe Illustrator, printing it out, and taping it on the pumpkin. She then uses the thumbtack to make holes around the outlines and spends about 30 minutes carving it out.

“All of us have highlights, shadows, and midtones in our faces. And there are basically three depths of a pumpkin that are easily accessed: either cut all the way through, scraped off, or left alone,” she explained. “So before the light turns on, it appears as a blubbering mess, but when the light shines through, they become super realistic.”

The self-proclaimed music and sports nerd focuses her work on singers like Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna, and athletes such as Peyton Manning, Kevin Durant, and Russell Westbrook—but also takes suggestions from fans.

“Somebody asked for a Paris Hilton, and then Paris Hilton followed me on TikTok, which was really cool.”

In September, she created one for the late Ozzy Osbourne, and his son Jack “liked” the post.

As for future creations, she is mustering up the courage to attempt a famous face she knows will be her trickiest.

“One of my followers told me if I can carve a spot on Post Malone, I’ll be crowned pumpkin queen for life. The diamond teeth and face tattoos might destroy me, but I like my chances.”
