Harry Brook joined an unwanted club when the England batsman was out for 99 in the first Test against India at his Headingley home ground on Sunday.
It was the 16th instance of an England batsman being dismissed one run shy of a century in the 148-year history of Test cricket and the first since Jonny Bairstow, a Yorkshire team-mate of Brook, suffered the same fate against South Africa at Old Trafford eight years ago.
Brook, however, was only the 14th player in that list, with former England captains MJK Smith and Michael Atherton both twice out for 99 in Tests.
