Harry Brook took the catch of the Lord’s Test so far on Day 3 by diving to his right at slips and grabbing the wicket of Indian tailender Akash Deep. It happened on the first ball of the 117th over in India’s innings. The ball from pacer Brydon Carse was full and wide and Akash Deep went for a half-hearted poke, perhaps trying to guide it past the slip cordon. But he went with hard hands and the ball took a thick edge, flying more than a foot right of second slip. Brook showed brilliant reflexes to time the dive low to his right. As England celebrated, the batter got up nonchalantly, as if he had done the easiest thing in the world. Watch the moment here: That is just outrageous! ?

It was as eventful a 10-ball innings as can be. The pacer survived two LBW calls against Chris Woakes in the same over. Both were given out by the on-field umpire Sharfuddoula, both looked close in real-time and in slow-motion, both were reviewed and overturned because Hawk-Eye showed the wickets to be missing, in almost identical fashion. Then, the first ball he faced after that over, Akash Deep smoked Jofra Archer for a six. To be fair to the England quick, it seemed not to have come off his hands nicely, gently floating to the pads at an innocuous pace (his first delivery under 130 kph in the innings), and the Bengal man flicked it over the leg side. As it happened, Brook also took the catch for India’s final wicket of the innings. It was a relatively simple one, as Washington Sundar went hard for a pull on a short and wide ball, getting a top edge. It flew right over the keeper’s head and Brook was found under it in front of the sight screen. India’s attempt ended at 387, the exact same as England’s first innings score. KL Rahul was the top-scorer with his 11 while Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant put up 70s. For the hosts, Chris Woakes took a best of 3/83.
