Prasidh Krishna in disbelief after Mohammed Siraj howler
England went about the chase in typical fashion despite losing Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. Harry Brook came out all guns blazing with Joe Root playing a steady hand at the other end. Brook took the attack to the Indian bowlers, batting at a strike rate of over 100 as conditions eased out in London.
India had a chance to send the England star packing right before lunch. Brook hooked a short delivery from Prasidh Krishna down to fine leg, Mohammed Siraj, stationed there, took the catch but tripped over losing his balance. The Indian fast bowler had his face in his hands. Krishna, who was halfway into his celebration was in shock.
Siraj later apologized to Krishna at the end of the over. India would hope that the drop doesn’t come to cost them dearly. Brook reached his half-century soon after Lunch and looked in imperious touch.
