England batter Harry Brook got out in a bizarre manner following his century on Day 4 of the fifth Test against India at The Oval on Sunday, August 3. The right-handed batter departed for 111 runs off 98 balls, comprising two sixes and 14 boundaries.

The dismissal came as Brook went for a hat-trick of boundaries, losing his bat while attempting the third attacking shot against Akash Deep. With the wicket, Akash ended the 195-run fourth wicket partnership between Brook and Joe Root.

The dismissal came in the 63rd over of England’s run chase. Akash bowled a short delivery on off-stump, and Brook stepped out to give himself room. He tried to play it over the covers but lost grip of the bat after the ball hit the willow. The ball went up in the air, and Mohammed Siraj settled underneath it to complete the catch. Notably, Siraj had dropped the same batter on 19 during the first session before lunch.
