Brook opens up on verbal volleys during Lord's Test
However, star England batter Harry Brook, stated that his team tried playing 'in the spirit of the game as much as possible' before the Indian players provoked them on the third evening.
'Their lads went hard at Creeps [Zak Crawley] and Ducky [Ben Duckett] on that night when Bumrah bowled that single over. We watched that and we re-assessed and we thought it was the right time to go (hit) back at them,' Brook said on Monday.
'I think it put them under a little bit more pressure. Obviously, (they were) chasing a low score but on a tough pitch. It might have given them that little bit of added pressure. Thankfully, they ended up crumbling, and we won the game.'
England managed to defend 192, and Brook revealed that he received several compliments for the memorable victory.
'I have had a lot of compliments. Everybody said it was awesome to watch and it looked like there were 11 versus two out there when we were fielding. It was good fun; it was tiring, but it made fielding a lot more enjoyable,' he said.
