Harry Brook has leapfrogged team-mate Joe Root in the world rankings to become the number one Test batter.

The 25-year-old has impressed for England against New Zealand in the current series, helping them to a 2-0 unassailable lead.

Brook, who was labelled as the "best in the world" by Root after sealing the win over New Zealand, scored 171 in the first Test before following it up with scores of 123 and 55 in the second in Wellington.

He now has seven centuries in just 10 Tests away from home, the most by any batter in his first 10 such outings outside of their home country.

Across the 38 innings he has played in 23 Tests since making his debut in 2022, he has scored 2,280 runs.

His ranking score is now 898, one better than Root's 897, but he remains clear of third-place Kane Williamson, who he replaced at the top of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) rankings earlier this year.

Jasprit Bumrah remained top of the rankings in the bowler charts, though Pat Cummins made up some ground, moving up one place to fifth after taking seven wickets in the second Test of Australia's series against India.

Ravindra Jadeja also held onto top spot in the all-around rankings, and holds a healthy lead of 131 over second place, now held by Mehidy Hasan, who moved up two places.
