Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant took a cheeky dig at Harry Brook during the third day of the ongoing second Test against England. The incident occurred while Ravindra Jadeja was bowling.
Rishabh Pant complained to the umpire about Harry Brook taking time to get ready to face the ball as it kept happening repeatedly.
He is then heard having a conversation with Jadeja from behind the stumps while waiting for Harry Brook to get ready.
The on-air commentators could also be heard saying that there is no one better than Rishabh Pant to recognize that Brook was looking to unnecessarily waste time in the middle.
Meanwhile, Harry Brook slammed a brilliant century on the third day of the second Test against India. England were in a spot of bother at 84/5 before he joined hands with Jamie Smith to stitch up a terrific partnership that helped them recover and put 407 runs on the board eventually.
Brook made 158 runs off just 234 balls. His excellent century included 17 boundaries and a six as he took the attack to the opposition bowlers. His partnership with Jamie Smith was a marathon one of 303 runs for the sixth wicket.
It was a brief period where England dominated before and after losing wickets in a heap during their innings. At the end of the day’s play, Harry Brook also praised the Indian bowlers.
India ended the day on 64/1 and have a lead of 244 runs heading into the fourth day’s play at Edgbaston.
