ENG vs IND 1st Test: Harry Brook creates unwanted record with 99 and golden duck in same Test

The English batter became the first player in Test history to be dismissed for 99 in the first innings and follow it up with a golden duck in the second. Brook had played a sensational knock in the first innings, falling agonisingly short of a century at 99. But in a dramatic turn of events on Day 5, he was dismissed on the very first ball he faced in the second innings. Trying to tickle a delivery from Shardul Thakur down the leg side, Brook ended up edging it to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, handing India a crucial breakthrough. This rare combination — a 99 followed by a golden duck — highlights the fine margins of Test cricket. From nearly being a centurion to registering a pair of contrasting dismissals, Brook's outing in the match reflects the highs and lows that the format can offer in just a matter of days. His dismissal has reignited India's hopes, especially after Duckett's departure, as England chase 102 more runs with six wickets in hand.

Harry Brook Creates Unwanted Record, Becomes 1st Batter In The World To...
Last Updated: Brook scored 99 runs for England in the first innings of 1st Test, but he failed to open his account in the second and was sent back to the pavilion for a golden duck by Shardul. Harry Brook came out to bat at No. 5 for England on Tuesday (June 24) in the second innings but failed to open his account.

By getting out for a first-ball duck in the second innings of the ongoing Leeds Test, Brook created an unwanted record. He became the first batter in the history of Test cricket to score 99 runs in the first innings and get out for a golden duck in the second innings.

‘Can you hit big sixes?': Watch Harry Brook distract Prasidh Krishna leading to India player getting dismissed in 1st Test
England's Harry Brook played a part with his chatter when he distracted India's last man Prasidh Krishna to try an audacious shot which led to visitors being bowled out for 364 runs in their second innings on Monday, establishing a lead of 370 runs at Leeds. Prasidh was in the middle when the stump mic picked up Brook asking the Indian bowler,' Can you hit big sixes?' to which Krishna replied,' If I had to, I would be called Brook.' In the very next ball, Prasidh went for a big hoick off Shoaib Bashir only to hole out to Josh Tongue with Brook's plans to distract the Indian working to a tee. "Can you hit big sixes?" — Harry Brook on the stump mic… and Prasidh goes for it on the very next ball and gets out. Classic Test cricket theatre — brought to you by the mic (and a bit of mischief). 🎭#ENGvIND | 1st Test, Day 5 | TUE, 24th JUNE, 2:30 PM on JioHotstar! — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 24, 2025 On Monday, another India lower-order collapse gave England a fighting chance of a thrilling victory in the first test at Headingley on Monday, with the hosts 21-0 in their second innings at the close of play on day four, chasing 371 to win. Josh Tongue, just as he did in the first innings, came to the fore when seeing off the Indian tail, with three wickets in four balls helping ensure the tourists lost their final six second-innings wickets for 31 runs. The collapse, which saw India all out for 364, gave the dangerous Jasprit Bumrah the chance to attack England before close of play, but neither opener, Zak Crawley nor Ben Duckett, looked troubled as they repelled the Indian attack until stumps. Reaching 371 would be England's second-highest successful test run chase against India, and the second-highest at Headingley, more than the Ben Stokes-inspired heroics on the same ground against Australia in 2019. The normally box-office Rishabh Pant started his innings quite conservatively, happy to watch on as KL Rahul moved smoothly to his century, his ninth in tests, eight of which have come overseas. After smashing two sixes in three balls after lunch, however, Pant hit the accelerator and brought out his typically flamboyant shots to all corners of the ground, with his hundred meaning, for the first time, that there have been five India centuries scored in one test match. Pant eventually tried one shot too many, caught chasing another six on the boundary by Crawley for 118 before Rahul fell shortly after tea for 137, again chopping onto the stumps off the bowling of Carse.

'Can You Hit Big Sixes?': Prasidh Krishna Holes Out After Being Teased By Harry Brook
Last Updated: Prasidh Krishna was challenged to hit a big six and he accepted it only to be caught in the deep. There has been plenty of chatter between India and England stars in the ongoing first Test between India and England. From Rishabh Pant's cheeky admiration for Ben Stokes to a heated exchange between Harry Brook and Mohammed Siraj – there's been plenty of on-field drama. During Day 4 of the contest, Brook was at the center of another verbal exchange that resulted in India getting bowled out for 364 in their second dig in Leeds on Monday. During the 96th over of India innings, with spinner Shoaib Bashir operating from one end, Brook teased tailender Prasidh Krishna by enquiring about his big six-hitting abilities. 'Can you hit big sixes?" asked Brook who was fielding in the slips. Krishna, took it sportingly, and responded, 'If I had to, I would be called Brook." However, the needling seemed to have got to the India no. 11 who went for the big shot the very next delivery and ended up being caught in the deep for an 11-ball duck. Watch the exchange below: 'Can you hit big sixes?" — Harry Brook on the stump mic… and Prasidh goes for it on the very next ball and gets Test cricket theatre — brought to you by the mic (and a bit of mischief). 🎭 #ENGvIND | 1st Test, Day 5 | TUE, 24th JUNE, 2:30 PM on JioHotstar! — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 24, 2025 Krishna's exit completed another lower-order collapse for India in the contest. From 333/4, the tourists slipped to 364-all out – losing their last six wickets for the addition of just 31 runs. In the first innings too, India lost seven wickets for 41 runs to be bowled out for 471. In reply, England made 465 despite a brilliant five-wicket haul from Jasprit Bumrah. Centuries from KL Rahul (137) and Rishabh Pant (118) in the second innings helped India set England 371 to win the Test. At the close of play on the fourth day, the hosts were 21/0 and need 350 runs more to win on the Day 5. First Published:

India 96-2 in second innings after Brook leads England comeback
India finished day three on 90-2 to lead England by 96 runs at stumps in the opening test at Headingley on Sunday after England were dismissed for 465 in the first innings on the back of Ollie Pope's century and Harry Brook's knock of 99. Having scored 471 in the first innings, India's total was virtually wiped out when they walked in to bat again with a slender six-run lead and a little over two days left to play to leave the test evenly poised. England struck early when Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in the first innings, was forced to play a superb Brydon Carse delivery that caught the edge to give wicketkeeper Jamie Smith an easy catch. Sai Sudharsan walked in with the threat of rain looming large and the 23-year-old, dismissed for a duck in the first innings, played patiently in gloomy conditions that were ideal for seam bowling as he built a partnership with opener KL Rahul. But just as in the first innings, England skipper Ben Stokes removed Sudharsan (30) again when the Indian batter clipped an inswinging delivery to short midwicket where Zak Crawley took a sharp catch. However, play was stopped when the rain came down with Rahul unbeaten on 47 and skipper Shubman Gill (six not out) at the crease. "I think the way KL Rahul played earlier in his innings tonight, he's going to be an important wicket. He puts a lot on his wicket... Getting him out tomorrow is going to be crucial," Pope told Sky Sports. "It's such a quick scoring ground... We back ourselves to chase a steady score." AGONY FOR BROOK On a blustery day, which began with a moment of appreciation for former England speedster David "Syd" Lawrence who died aged 61, India started well with Pope perishing for 106 after adding only six runs to his overnight score. But England capitalised on the tourists' generosity in the field before Brook fell agonisingly short of a fairytale century on his home ground. The Yorkshire-born batter made India pay for dropped catches, with Jaiswal dropping him at fourth slip when he was on 82 for his third lifeline. It was Jaiswal's third dropped catch and India's fifth in the innings. Brook looked set for a big score before his moment of heartbreak came when he attempted to reach three figures with a flourish, lofting Prasidh Krishna over fine leg only to find Shardul Thakur stationed at the boundary rope. A dejected Brook threw his head back and put his hand up to his face before he trudged back to the pavilion as the Headingley crowd overcame their disappointment to give him a standing ovation. But in stark contrast to India's lower order, England's tail wagged. While India's last five wickets fell for 18 runs, England's lower order added 112 runs. With India getting desperate, Gill brought Jasprit Bumrah back into the attack and he completed a five-wicket haul by cleaning up the tail, dismissing Chris Woakes and Josh Tongue with deliveries that crashed into the stumps. Bumrah could have easily had more but India's pace spearhead saw four catches dropped off his bowling on a poor day in the field for Gill's side. "I like to enjoy my time on the field so I always smile. Nobody is dropping catches purposefully," Bumrah told BBC. "Sometimes the cold makes it difficult to catch. I try not to let it affect me and move forwards quickly. "The game is in balance. We have to bat well... At this moment our aim is to put on as many runs as we can."
