Akash Deep fights back after being hit for 4,4,6 to castle Harry Brook for 23 in ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test [Watch]

Akash Deep completed redemption by dismissing Harry Brook on Day 4 of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s on Sunday, July 13. The speedster cleaned up Brook for 23 (19) after being smashed for 4, 4, and 6 in his previous over. With the dismissal, the hosts were reduced to 87/4.

The dismissal came in the 22nd over of England’s second innings. Akash bowled a pitched-up delivery, and Brook went for a sweep shot. The batter completely messed up as the bowler bowled him behind his legs.

As a result, Akash ended up with the last laugh after being smashed for back-to-back boundaries by Brook off his last three deliveries in the 20th over. Brook looked greedy to score quickly, which cost him his wicket.
