Harry Brook makes mark for England but India steady ship with first Test in balance
Briefly

In the ongoing Test series opener at Headingley, India ended day three leading England by 96 runs. After bowling England out for 465 and securing a six-run first-innings lead, India batted and reached 90 for two before rain interrupted play. KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill remained at the crease, with Harry Brook shining for England by nearly scoring a century. Despite England's batting partnerships holding strong, two late wickets by Jasprit Bumrah secured his five-for, tying Kapil Dev's record, as India looks poised for victory.
Harry Brook led England's batting effort on the day, riding his luck from no score to 99 when he was out hooking straight to the fielder at deep backward square leg.
