Liam Livingstone capitalized on Harshit Rana’s wide delivery, stepping across and launching it over wide long-on for a massive six. Spotting the slower cutter early, Livingstone muscled it effortlessly, displaying his power-hitting prowess.

Adil Rashid showcased his aggressive intent by smashing three consecutive boundaries off Mohammed Shami. On the first delivery, Shami went for a length ball, but Rashid stood tall and clobbered it over mid-off for a one-bounce four. Anticipating a short delivery, Rashid stepped away on the next ball and stylishly placed it to wide long-on for another boundary.

Varun Chakravarthy almost had Joe Root trapped LBW as the England batter attempted a reverse sweep but missed. A big appeal followed, leading to an intense discussion between Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and the bowler about a potential review. The key question was whether the impact was in line with the off stump. The good-length delivery spun into the right-hander, and Root’s half-bat connection didn’t work in his favor this time, making the shot riskier than before.

Harshit Rana to Brook, OUT! A brilliant piece of fielding from Shubman Gill, running back from mid-off and keeping his eyes locked on the ball. Rana cleverly mixed it up with an off-cutter, deceiving Brook, who had been dominant against pace. Expecting another quick delivery, Brook moved leg-side and threw his hands at it, mistiming the shot. Despite the error, it still required a sharp effort, and Gill delivered with a superb catch. A crucial breakthrough for India as Brook departs for 31 off 52 balls.
