1st Test: Harry Brook’s Unbeaten Fifty Steadies England, Trail India By 144 At Lunch
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Local lad Harry Brook was at his rollicking best to hit his 12th Test fifty, as England trail India by 144 runs after reaching 327/5 in 77 overs at lunch on day three of first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley on Sunday.
After Brook was almost dismissed for naught off Jasprit Bumrah at the stroke of stumps on day two, as replays showed it was a no-ball, the right-handed batter was at his free-flowing best. He earned another reprieve when on 46, Rishabh Pant dropped his catch off Ravindra Jadeja, as Brook eventually reached his half century off 65 balls to end the session at a counter-attacking 57 not out.
With Jamie Smith providing him good support via 29 not out off 45 balls and his partnership with Brook being at 51 off 73 balls, England would fancy their chances of taking the lead over India, who bowled with more control, though Jasprit Bumrah couldn’t add more to his three scalps and will have a chance in second session to get more breakthroughs.
