Harry Brook Falls for 99 in Headingley Drama

On Day 3 of the first Test at Headingley, England's Harry Brook was dismissed for 99, top-edging a pull shot off Prasidh Krishna to Shardul Thakur at long leg, narrowly missing a century at his home ground. Brook's aggressive innings featured several dropped chances by India and was key to England's recovery after Ollie Pope's 106-run effort. England, aided by contributions from Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith, posted 465 in reply to India's first-innings 471. India's bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna with three wickets each, struggled with inconsistent support and fielding lapses. The match remains closely contested with only a six-run difference between the teams. The Headingley crowd witnessed an emotional day filled with dramatic moments, resilient batting, and missed opportunities.
