Despite brook

But Ben Duckett: Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad believes Harry Brook will try to ramp up the pressure on the Indian bowlers as they begin to tire on Day Four of the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval here on Sunday.

Brook’s high-risk approach in the chase of 374 has led to him bringing up his 14th Test fifty off 39 balls. In the first session, Brook had a big reprieve on 19 when Mohammed Siraj, who came back on the field after a short break, attempted to take the catch in the deep off Prasidh. But in the process of taking it, the pacer stepped on the boundary cushion to concede a six.

“Harry Brook will treat this like a 50-over game. He'll find the boundary where possible. If it's not going to be a boundary, it'll be a single, trying to put the fielders under pressure. And the more tired the Indian bowlers get, the more pressure Brook will try and put on them,” said Broad on JioHotstar.
