Harry Brook, the England batter, missed out on a potential century against India in the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy 2025 by a single run. In the first match at Headingley, following a six off Prasidh Krishna, Brook was dismissed attempting a similar shot, caught by Shardul Thakur. This moment followed a series of missed opportunities, as he was dropped twice, including a drop by India’s Rishabh Pant. Brook’s luck seemed to run out after being dropped on several occasions. In the past year, Brook has been dropped 13 times in Test matches.
Brook became the 14th England batter to be dismissed on 99 and the first since Jonny Bairstow against South Africa in 2017. The match also saw Brook register another unusual record as he became only the third batter to get dismissed on 99 on this pitch.
India, after wrapping up the English innings at 465 runs, began their second innings with a small lead of 6 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored a century in the first innings, did not make a big impact in the second innings. KL Rahul reached a half-century. Captain Shubman Gill was also out quickly. Weather also played a factor with rain showers during day 3.
