England ace batter Harry Brook unleashed a stunning sweep shot against Team India pacer Mohammed Siraj to record his first six during the fifth Test at The Oval. The right-handed batter had to come up with something outside the box as the field was spread for the last recognised batter in the final session on Day 2. Brook has a massive responsibility to stretch England's lead as much as possible after a strong showing by India in the second session, where they picked up six wickets. With a crumbling tail and no Chris Woakes due to injury, the No. 2-ranked batter ramped up the ante, especially after Gus Atkinson's dismissal in the 48th over. After opening the 49th over with a dot ball, Mohammed Siraj pitched it up, hoping for some movement off the surface. The batter instantly got down on one knee, lowered himself beside the line of the ball to get the elevation, and timed the sweep shot to perfection. The ball sailed over the fielder in the deep just behind square as Brook fell over in the crease while trying to provide momentum for the desired elevation. Have a look at the brilliant stroke right here: The right-handed batter has smashed five sixes in the series so far, which is the second highest among England batters so far. Jamie Smith leads the list among the hosts with 11 maximums.
