News18
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:

It ended Akash Deep's brief stint for 7 (10). 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.

'They Obviously Like The Food Here': Vaughan Trolls India On Pre-Lunch Collapses
Last Updated: Michael Vaughan has highlighted India captain Shubman Gill's concern about India's tendency to lose wickets in clusters before lunch. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has said that India skipper Shubman Gill will be concerned about how India have been losing wickets in clusters since the first Test, pointing out the visitors' special knack of losing wickets before lunch, saying that they like the food in England. Dismissals right before lunch have been a constant theme for India throughout the series, starting with KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan departing on the opening day of the series opener in Headingley. Vaughan put down the repeated theme of such dismissals to poor concentration and a cautious approach. 'Gill will be slightly concerned that you go to Leeds and collapse, then the little collapse on Day 4 and now another three quick wickets this morning. Yeah (on losing wickets before lunch being a concern for India), they like the food here, thinking about the lunches they can have if they are dismissed," Vaughan said while speaking on Cricbuzz. 'But that is just concentration. The more you think about batting differently towards the end of a session, the more you are probably going to get out," Vaughan added. The former England cricketer highlighted how collapses have proven problematic for India in the series, including the late one on the fourth day of the Lord's Test, where Karun Nair, Gill and Akash Deep were dismissed right before the stumps. Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck in the run chase, India had recovered to be placed at 41/1. Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and the fragile tail brought India back from the brink but fell short in the face of England skipper Ben Stokes' resolve, going down by 22 runs in the fluctuating third Test at Lord's. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

‘It is wise to stick to the attitude that works for you': Mohammad Kaif says Shubman Gill's fight with Zak Crawley charged up England at Lord's
Former India player Mohammad Kaif said that the confrontation between Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley at the end of Day 3's play at Lord's charged up an England team which had copped a lot of flak after the Edgbaston defeat. He said that England used that bust-up as fuel to motivate themselves and defeat India to go 2-1 up in the 5-match series on Monday. 'Shubman Gill's fight with Zak Crawley charged England. After Edgbaston, there were questions about their batting, bowling and captaincy. But that incident fired up Stokes and he bowled an inspiring spells. It is wise to stick to the attitude that works for you. Gill will learn this the hard way,' Kaif posted on X. On Saturday, the fiery exchange in the final over had a lot of dramatic visuals, with India's captain Gill in the thick of it. Annoyed by Crawley's time-wasting tactics that ensured India just got in one over as opposed to two that they would have hoped, Gill ran from the slips, hurled verbal abuses at Crawley and Ben Duckett, pointed fingers, and mock-clapped at Crawley. The England openers also stood their ground, and gave it all back. Shubman Gill's fight with Zak Crawley charged England. After Edgbaston, there were questions about their batting, bowling and captaincy. But that incident fired up Stokes and he bowled an inspiring spells. It is wise to stick to the attitude that works for you. Gill will learn… — Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) July 15, 2025 The tensions would also boil over to the next day as Mohammed Siraj sent back Duckett on Day 4. Siraj proceeded to roar right in Duckett's face, his eyes bulging out of their sockets and veins popping. There was even a light shoulder contact. Duckett didn't seem to really look at the bowler at any point while Siraj did the opposite for him. The Indian pacer even got a little talking-to from the umpires after the whole exercise. The tensions continued into the start of the fifth day with most of the animosity concentrated in the early exchanges, in which Jofra Archer dismissed Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar in a devastating early spell. Archer had donned the role of the pantomime villain in that period. He made sure to give send-offs to both the players that he dismissed. Even after he was taken off the attack, Archer remained in the batsmen's faces, having some words with Nitish Kumar Reddy, notably. Brook could also be heard telling Reddy from the slips that he is no longer playing in the IPL. Reddy also had a few words with Stokes but arguably the biggest flare-up was between Brydon Carse and Ravindra Jadeja about four overs before Lunch. Jadeja ran right into Carse while running the first of the two runs the batters ran off the last ball of that over. Stokes came in between to break the two players up. Both players seemed to be telling each other that they didn't do it on purpose and to be fair to them, they did look like they were blissfully unaware of each other before colliding in the replay of the incident. England won the Test by 22 runs but that was only after they dealt with 50 overs and one delivery of resistance from India's last three wickets, anchored by Jadeja who stayed unbeaten on 61 off 181 balls.
