Akash Deep to Brook, out Caught by Siraj!! He's lost his bat and his wicket! India break this tormenting stand but is it too little too late? Just a fraction short on off-stump, Brook stepped out and gave himself room, he was looking to slap that over the covers but just sliced it, his bat flew into the leg-side while the ball flew up and into the off-side. Siraj, who dropped Brook when he was on just 19, moves to his left at mid-off and completes an easy catch this time. Brook walks off to a standing ovation. His knock has put this game in England's basket and it's now up to India to try and snatch it away before they checkout at the till. Brook c Siraj b Akash Deep 111(98) [4s-14 6s-2]
